Chiropractic Care and Wellness Medicine

There are many treatment options available that it can take time to determine the best choice. Is chiropractic care complementary to other forms of wellness medicine? Read on to discover what you can expect by combining different therapies.

Chiro Care and Massage Therapy

Massage therapy focuses on moving blood and other fluids around the body, relaxing the soft structural components (tissues, muscles, tendons, and ligaments) and aiding in lymphatic drainage and detoxification. Chiropractic care helps strengthen and realign these structural components, improves circulation, and reduces inflammation to encourage healing. Combining the two can be an effective way to improve posture, decrease inflammation, improve circulation, and restore flexibility and mobility.

Chiro and Physical Therapy

Physical therapy can help you recover from injury or surgery, providing spot massages, individually designed exercises, and occupational therapy. These therapies are complementary and combining them can help maximize the positive effects. Physical therapy can retrain the brain and body, while chiropractic care can help infuse the treatment area.

Chiro and Laser Therapy

Laser therapy reduces pain, creates a soothing warmth, and supports healing. It can be administered by various wellness professionals to patients dealing with pain and discomfort or recovering from injuries. Laser therapy is believed to accelerate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, stimulate acupuncture points, and improve nerve function. Chiropractic care and laser therapy can work together to improve healing outcomes, relieve pain, and support the regeneration of damaged or injured areas.

Chiro and Decompression Therapy

Decompression therapy aims to release built-up pressure in the spine, allowing spinal discs to relax and receive an influx of blood circulation. It can be an excellent partner for chiropractic care for joints and bones, decreasing pain and improving posture. These treatments can also increase vitality and health.

Chiro and Regenerative Medicine

Regenerative medicine involves stem cells sourced from umbilical cord blood and other resources, and is often sought by those suffering from joint regeneration to decrease pain and regain mobility. Chiropractic care, which focuses on the joints and bones, can work to support the healing process.

Medical Care

Medical care involves a wide range of therapies, so it is difficult to say that chiropractic care will always complement them. For example, it is not recommended to see a chiropractor immediately after surgery. It is important to understand your doctor's proposed action plan and how a chiropractor can help improve your health.

Choosing one form of care can have certain benefits, such as being able to easily determine the changes resulting from the treatment. However, choosing one form of therapy can limit the potential benefits. It is best to explore the potential benefits you can enjoy from different modalities.
