Guide to Visiting a Chiropractic Spine Specialist
When a spinal issue is to blame for your pain, you might think that the only answer is to see a spine surgeon. This is typically not the route anyone wants to go, as invasive techniques carry some risk and require additional recovery time.
If you’re desperate for relief, the good news is that you may not have to resort to surgical techniques. Below, Dr. Fraser and the team at Spine Spot Chiropractic in Basalt, CO, share how a chiropractic spine specialist can help.
What Does a Chiropractic Specialist Do?
A chiropractor has received specialized education and training to treat the musculoskeletal system, which includes but is not limited to the bones, discs, muscles, nerves, ligaments, and tendons in the spine. When you visit a chiropractor, they will gather information about your symptoms, lifestyle factors, and medical history. They will also perform a musculoskeletal assessment, along with any necessary diagnostic testing. From this information and examination, a chiropractor can determine the root cause of your pain. They’ll also determine any contributing factors, such as poor posture or heavy lifting. Once the necessary information has been gathered, a customized care plan will be developed that will treat the root cause and contributing factors. This personalized care can address a wide range of issues, including but not limited to:
Chronic back pain
Children and adults of all ages and stages, including pregnant women, can benefit from the natural, holistic care.
Treatment Techniques Offered by a Chiropractic Specialist
