Learn About Safe Pain Relief Options With A Redondo Beach Chiropractor


By Darcy Gautreau


Many people who reside in the Redondo Beach and Hermosa Beach area in Los Angeles, CA suffer from chronic headaches and pain in various parts of their body such as the neck, arms and back. They can opt for chiropractic care in order to relieve pain. If they use the services of a Hermosa Beach chiropractor, patients can stop experiencing pain in the muscles, joints, bones or connective tissues like cartilage, ligaments and tendons.

Chiropractors apply a sudden, but controlled force to spinal joints using small instruments or their hands. This procedure is referred to as spinal adjustment. It helps improve the physical function and correct the structural alignment of the human body.

The role of spinal manipulation is to align the musculoskeletal system of the body, especially the spine. When this occurs, your body can heal itself without the need to use medicines or undergo surgery. Doctors of chiropractic medicine also use spinal manipulation to restore mobility to joints affected by tissue injury. Tissue injury is usually caused by traumatic events like falling, sitting improperly and repetitive stress.

In order to undergo spinal manipulation, only minimal preparation is required. Chiropractors obtain the medical records of a person and perform a physical exam. They can also order laboratory tests and X rays in order to determine if a patient can benefit from chiropractic adjustment.

Chiropractic care plans may include one or several manual adjustments. Chiropractors may also incorporate nutritional counseling and exercise into a care plan. A chiropractor can also use other therapies like electrical stimulation, massage, cold or heat therapy and ultrasound to relive pain.

If chiropractors determine that negative lifestyle habits are a contributing factor to the pan their patients are feeling, they may advise them to make some lifestyle changes. For example, overweight people can feel pain if their spinal column is stressed. This pain can reduce if they lose weight. Pain can also reduce when people get adequate sleep, maintain good posture and use proper lifting techniques. Visiting a chiropractor several times is often necessary. Patients should therefore ask how many times they need to visit the chiropractor and adjust their schedule accordingly.
