What Does a Chiropractor Do?
Chiropractors use a variety of techniques to manipulate the spine and other joints in the body. These techniques are designed to relieve pain, improve function and joint mobility, and promote overall health and well-being. Some of the techniques that chiropractors use include specific spinal manipulation, massage therapy, and prescribing exercises to enhance results at home.
Spinal manipulation, also known as chiropractic adjustment, involves applying measured force to the joints of the spine in order to restore proper alignment and movement. This technique is often used to help improve different conditions such as back pain, neck pain, and headaches, but has also been shown to be helpful in the treatment of sciatic pain, decreased range of motion and many other conditions.
What Do Chiropractors Specialise In?
Chiropractors specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine. Some chiropractors also have a special interest in other areas, such as sports injuries or paediatrics.
Sports chiropractors work with athletes to prevent and treat injuries. They may use techniques such as spinal manipulation, massage therapy, and exercise therapy to help athletes recover from injuries and improve their performance.
Paediatric chiropractors specialise in the care of children, particularly infants and young children. They use techniques with lower force such as drop piece, trigger point therapy, activator, and mobilisations. Children and babies often see chiropractors to treat asthma, reflux, bedwetting and sleep problems. Surprising, isn’t it?

Is Chiropractic Care Safe?
Chiropractic care is generally considered safe when performed by a trained and licensed chiropractor. However, like any form of healthcare, there are risks associated with chiropractic care. The most common side effects of chiropractic care include soreness and stiffness in the treated area. These side effects usually resolve quickly and without further intervention.
In very rare cases, more serious side effects can occur such as disc or nerve damage. However, these complications are extremely rare, and the benefits of chiropractic care make it relatively safe when compared with drugs, and non-invasive treatment such as chiropractic care is always preferable to irreversible surgery.
Chiropractic care is a safe and effective form of healthcare that can help relieve pain, improve function, and promote overall health and well-being.
