Chiropractic care in East Devon

What can Chiropractors treat?
What to Expect
- Lots of questions! In order to determine the most appropriate course of action for you, we need to have a full picture of your health and what you would like to achieve from Chiropractic treatment.
- A physical assessment. This will be undertaken with minimal removal of clothing. A modesty gown can be provided if needed.
- Recommendations for care. Once all the information has been gathered, we will discuss the findings with you and recommend a care plan. With your consent you will then usually receive your first treatment.
Chiropractic care is a health care profession based on interactions of the spine and nervous system, as well as the surrounding muscles.
Chiropractors are known for their expertise in caring for patients with back pain, neck pain, and headaches. They also treat sports injuries and other disorders involving muscles, ligaments and joints. The benefits of chiropractic care go beyond this and extend into general health as our core body structure affects overall function and health.
A chiropractic adjustment is the art of using a specific, controlled force in a precise direction that is applied to a spinal joint not moving properly or “locked up.” The purpose of this natural and safe procedure is to correct structural alignment and eliminate interference in the nervous system. For the patient, this means improved spinal function, reduction in pain, and an overall improvement in health and wellness.
Chiropractic manipulation is a highly controlled procedure that rarely causes discomfort because minimal force and gentle pressure are used. In fact, most patients feel relief immediately following treatment. Any reported soreness after an initial adjustment has been described as similar to that associated with starting a new exercise program. Drinking plenty of water, using an ice pack, and engaging in light stretching after your first visit can help ease any discomfort promote healing.
Chiropractic care is widely recognized as one of the safest drug-free, non-invasive therapies available for the treatment of most back and neck problems. Spinal adjustments are extremely safe when performed by a licensed chiropractor.
The noises you hear resembling popping sounds are your joints releasing tiny pockets of air. A chiropractic adjustment does not affect the bones of either side of a joint; it affects the connective tissue that holds the joint together.
