Chiropractic care is based off the concept of eliminating a misalignment of the spine. A properly aligned spine can help ease many different physical conditions including, but not limited to, muscle strains, pain in the neck or back, and even headaches or migraines. Chiropractors use a strategic and effective approach in repositioning a misaligned spine back to its correct shape in order to achieve lasting results.
How Can Chiropractic Care in Tempe Help You?
Most people are under the impression that chiropractic care is only for back pain. This is a common misconception as issues such as carpal tunnel, work injuries, auto injuries and many others can be treated through a chiropractic-based approach.
The History Of Chiropractic Care
Daniel David Palmer developed the methods of the modern day chiropractic field. The first ever chiropractic patient was a janitor who was partially deaf. Palmer completed a simple spinal adjustment and the janitor claimed his hearing was improved due to the treatment.
Palmer went on to open the first school for chiropractic within the next two years. Since 1895, chiropractic care has become one of the most effective non-invasive treatment options for patients living with a wide variety of issues. Spinal adjustments have been used to help people of all ages overcome the discomfort in their lives and allow them to get back to doing the activities they enjoy.
What Kind of Training Does a Tempe Chiropractor Have?
A Doctor of Chiropractic goes through a rigorous training process to obtain their chiropractic degree. Most chiropractors start out by getting a bachelor's degree in a field such as exercise science or kinesiology, then enroll in a four-year doctoral program which emphasizes over 3,600 hours of classroom academics and over 1,000 hours of supervised clinical training to refine our diagnosis and treatment abilities. Most chiropractors receive more training than medical doctors in the fields of anatomy, physiology, differential diagnosis, neurology, radiology, nutrition, and physiotherapy! Studies have also shown that chiropractors are not only more physically effective at treating back pain and musculoskeletal pain than medical doctors, but are more cost effective as well. People who see chiropractors as their first point of contact for their back pain are also significantly less likely to undergo surgery! Need an opinion?
