They rely on using a hands-on approach by the process of manipulation of the spine without the use of drugs surgery. Occasionally the manipulation of the extremities is required to alleviate symptoms.
Founded in 1895, chiropractic treatment was once thought of as a purely complementary and alternative therapy, their importance is now widely recognised by medical and healthcare professionals as a beneficial and legitimate branch of therapy in the treatment of spinal and musculo-skeletal conditions.

Chiropractic in Sport
In modern sport, increasing levels of intensity have brought extra physical demands from athletes. This has also unfortunately led to an increase in injuries. Fast moving, high contact and tactical positioning based competition has led to an increased pressure on backs and musculo-skeletal systems. Injuries can come in a variety of types. Some can be played through, others lead to time on the sidelines and even worse still, there are occasions when injuries fail to respond to traditional treatment. However, in recent years we have seen the emergence of chiropractic treatment geared towards the needs of an athlete. The treatment has always stressed the importance of maintaining proper function in all areas of body which in turn promotes fast and natural healing from injuries, thus making the treatment nearly ideal for athletic training. Based on the founding principal of human body as a fully integrated being, chiropractic treatment places its focus on spinal, muscular, tendon, ligament, nerve and joint related care. Professionals from a variety of sports both international and domestic now deploy chiropractic therapy and a primary source of treatment with some of the attending specialists at the Olympic Games falling into the category of trained chiropractors.
Chiropractic addresses the function of central nervous system which is the “master system” of the body controlling ad regulating function of all other subsystems including musculoskeletal system. Properly aligned skeletal system would improve performance, reduce the risk of injury and improve healing of existing injuries.
Chiropractors specialize in the non-drug treatment of musculoskeletal problems, including joint sprains and disc injuries. To some extent, the chiropractic approach to sports injuries is similar to that of traditional medical care.
Usually chiropractor’s initial examination would include standard orthopaedic and neurological tests to diagnose whether a particular pain is due to a strain, sprain, or disc problem. X-ray examination is also performed to screen for fractures and other bone disorders, such as osteoporosis.
Chiropractic management of sports injuries often includes widely used physical therapies such as ice, Cold laser therapy to reduce swelling and inflammation, or electronic muscle stimulation for muscle strains and spasms.
The Importance of Restoring the Structural Body Balance.
Chiropractic management of sport injuries has an emphasis on adjustment and improving function of spinal and other joints through manipulation as well as restoring overall structural balance of the body. Chiropractor assess the effect of the muscle injury on the rest of the body as it would cause tightening of other muscle and joints in order to maintain general balance. Chiropractic adjustments help to restore the natural balance that was present before the injury.

Founded in 1895, chiropractic treatment was once thought of as a purely complementary and alternative therapy, their importance is now widely recognised by medical and healthcare professionals as a beneficial and legitimate aid in the treatment of spinal conditions. The theory is based upon the misalignment of the spine, particularly that which interferes with the nervous system.
Many mechanical problems of the back can benefit from the consultation of a chiropractor, with treatments including the freeing of stiff joints which in turn will reduce nerve irritation.
During initial consultation chiropractor will take a full history from and perform a thorough physical examination. Using a holistic approach the chiropractor will ask many questions relating to occupation, diet, existing exercise programmes and lifestyle and a treatment plan devised using this information. Apart from the manual treatment chiropractor will also work in improving the posture and will advise on preventative measures to avoid a recurrence of pain by suggesting activities and exercises that will help strengthen the spinal components, and those to avoid.
What Is Chiropractic Treatment?
Chiropractic treatment has gained increasing acceptance by both consumers and insurance agencies, many of which now offer plans covering the treatment. Chiropractic is safe, there are a few risks associated with it.
Chiropractic, which means ” done by hand,” is a system founded approximately 100 years ago by Daniel David Palmer. It is based on the theory that many illnesses originate in the spine, and for this reason it focuses on spinal manipulation. Chiropractic physicians may also utilize physical therapy techniques, as well as methods drawn from other branches of alternative medicine.
Clinical Applications
Most visits to chiropractors are for back neck joint pain, but it is also commonly used to treat:
- Headache pains
- Neck, shoulders, back (disc injury), hip injury and conditions including joint pain
- Pain in other areas such as the TMJ ( jaw), headaches, migraine, soft tissue injuries, knees, ankle injury and conditions.
- Pregnancy-related pelvic pain
How Chiropractic Works
Since its origin, chiropractic theory has based itself on “vertebral subluxations,” or vertebrae that have shifted position in the spine. These subluxations are said to impede nerve outflow and contribute to dysfunction of various organs. A chiropractic treatment is supposed to “realign” these “missed placed” vertebrae. , this is called an “adjustment.”
Other theories suggest that chiropractic manipulation may relieve pain by “loosening” vertebrae that have become relatively immobile rather than by changing their position. In addition, the sudden movements of manipulation may alter the response patterns of nerves in the spine, again relieving pain.
Depending on your condition, chiropractic treatment is usually conducted on a two- or three-times-a-week basis, for a month or so. Some chiropractors feel that regular care is necessary to help maintain sound health and fitness. Others will ask to see you only as needed. This depends on your injury or condition at the time of your consultation
What Do Studies Show About Chiropractic Treatment?
Does It Work?
There is evidence that chiropractic treatment may relieve pain. The best evidence regards migraine headaches and other forms of headache. Studies on chiropractic for back, neck, hip, knee ankle and joint pain have by far the best results. Chiropractic treatment does seem to be very effective compared with other commonly used treatments for these conditions.
Is It Safe?
Chiropractic manipulation is safe, rarely causing significant side effects. The most common reaction is local discomfort following therapy, which generally disappears within hours of treatment. Other side effects include temporary headache, tiredness, and discomfort radiating from the site of the adjustment. To put this in perspective, however, the rate of complications from chiropractic is extremely low; according to many estimates, only one complication per million individual sessions occurs. Among people receiving a course of treatment involving manipulation of the neck,
By comparison, serious medical complications involving common drugs in the ibuprofen family (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs) are far more common. Among people using them for arthritis, NSAIDs result in hospitalizations at a rate of about 5 in 1200 people, and death at a rate of 5 in 12,000. The rate of complications with these common over-the-counter drugs is perhaps 100-500 times greater than with chiropractic.
Is It Cost Effective?
There is a lot of evidence that chiropractic may be less expensive than other forms of care.
If You Decide To Visit A Chiropractor
If you’re suffering from headaches, migraine, TMJ ( jaw) pain, back pain or neck pain,shoulders, hip, pregnancy-related pelvic pain, joint pain, knee and ankle injuries and conditions including soft tissue injuries seeking chiropractic care is worth a try, since it appears to be at least as helpful as other commonly used therapies. Chiropractic treatment is now available within United States of America’s Military,and Medisure with the help and insistence from President Barack Obama.
Look for a chiropractor who:
- Does not require long-term or preventive care
- Does not routinely take x-rays, However, X-rays may be necessary, so always look for a chiropractor within house x-ray facilities, for this can be very important in diagnosing certain conditions.
- Does not object to you seeing a specialist for a second opinion
- Limits his practice to the treatment of musculoskeletal problems (pain/discomfort associated with muscles and joints)
