Why is Chiropractic Care so Effective in Springfield?

Chiropractic treatments are now seen as mainstream. Indeed many insurance plans cater for the treatment and chiropractors are at last getting credit for helping people out of pain. Even some states are seeing the benefits by legislating that chiro care or physical therapy must be sought before any pain killing drugs are prescribed.

The concept of chiropractic (which is formulated by two Greek words effectively meaning care by hand) was coined in 1896 when David Daniel Palmer became the “Father of Chiropractic” when he healed a deaf man by spinal manipulation. He theorized the connection between the body being in proper alignment with the body’s ability to heal itself and the practice has been developed, researched and has become what it is today; another successful pain relieving treatment.

Our Springfield branch of Back and Body, we offer chiropractic care as a means of treatment. We have many other treatment options, but chiropractic is one of our key services. We have helped many people over the years at our New York practice get out of pain and manage it through our chiro treatments and aim to do the same here in Springfield. We are already gaining traction in satisfied patients with 5 star Google reviews, but if you want to see even more, check out our New York Back and Body listing as we have many there too.

These reviews are testimony to the power of chiropractic care in dealing with pain. And they back up research and studies that promote chiropractic as the go to for back pain relief. The true beauty of chiropractic is the focus on resolving the issue at hand rather than merely treating symptoms.

Consider sciatica for example. If you have pain due to sciatica it’s probably that your sciatic nerve is trapped or infringed upon by your spine and joints. A visit to your GP would likely see you come out with some pain killers to dull the pain until the problem disappears. The pain killers attack the symptoms.

However, a visit to your chiropractor sees the problem attacked and focused on. Decompression of joints will allow the sciatic nerve to be freed and thus allow it to function normally. The result is you are out of pain and you are healed. The best part is that it was completely natural and no pain killers were needed.

That’s not to say that pain killers don’t have their place, because they do. If your pain is so intense, it might be that you take pain killers to control the pain and then a visit to the chiropractor will be able to fix the problem without causing any more pain. SO in that way, drugs and chiro can be a powerful force in dealing with the issue.

But ultimately, chiropractic care is conservative and any side effects are minimal.
