- Chiropractic AdjustmentsChiropractic adjustment rarely causes discomfort. However, patients may sometimes experience mild soreness or aching following treatment (as with some forms of exercise) that usually resolves within 12 to 48 hours.
- SubluxationBecause the sciatica nerve is so long, irritation can occur at many points. The first place may be the low back. Commonly a misalignment of one or more vertebra causing pressure on the nerve is responsible. This condition is known as a subluxation, one of the underlying causes of sciatica.
- Manipulation TherapyIn a Randomized controlled trial, 183 patients with neck pain were randomly allocated to manual therapy (spinal mobilization), physiotherapy (mainly exercise) or general practitioner care (counseling, education and drugs) in a 52-week study. The clinical outcomes measures showed that manual therapy resulted in faster recovery than physiotherapy and general practitioner care. Moreover, total costs of the manual therapy-treated patients were about one-third of the costs of physiotherapy or general practitioner care.
- AcupunctureAcupuncture is a principle modality of Oriental Medicine. It focuses on healing within a unified system of body, mind and spirit. As a result, it is generally used in conjunction with herbal, massage, diet and exercise therapies to maximize health, prevent illness and treat disease. Acupuncture originated in China more than 2,500 years ago and spread first throughout Asia, and later to Europe and the Americas. While it has been offered in Asian communities throughout the United States for many generations, it is only since 1970, following the opening of China to the West, that this system of health care has been available to the general population in this country. Acupunture is the treatment choice of over 1 million Americans.
