Your spine and the nerves that it protects are the framework around which your entire body works. When you have an injury or deterioration to the spinal structure, the effects can be felt in multiple body systems. This is why it is so important to quickly diagnose and treat spinal injuries for the quickest recovery and maximum potential of returning to pre-injury functioning.

What can I expect at a chiropractic office?

Here at Florida Wellness Medical Center, our licensed and professionally trained chiropractic physicians will conduct a full examination of your current mobility, range of motion, and level of functioning. Using the latest diagnostic technology and years of chiropractic experience, we will identify any issues with the spine and develop a treatment plan including spinal adjustments and manipulation to improve your symptoms while speeding up your recovery.

What are common spinal issues treated by chiropractic care?

Misalignments of the spine, also known as subluxations, are the most common spinal issue we treat with chiropractic care. These misalignments can put pressure on the nerves, soft tissues, and other structures around the subluxated area, potentially affecting multiple parts of the body. Symptoms of subluxations that patients commonly present with include:

• Pain with movement
• Swelling
• Tenderness or soreness
• Limited range of motion
• Impaired daily functioning
• Muscle spasms
• Headaches
• Balance and gait issues

Is there a difference between a chiropractor and a chiropractic physician?

Chiropractors and chiropractic physicians are the exact same thing. Chiropractors are required to complete education similar to medical doctors but focus on using non-invasive approaches like spinal adjustments to treat acute and chronic conditions. Chiropractors receive a Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree after completing four years of post-bachelor’s education.

What you should know before going to a chiropractor?

Make the most of your chiropractic visit by following these basic guidelines:

• Eat a high-protein snack or small meal
• Stay hydrated by drinking extra water
• Do a light activity, such as a brisk walk
• Write down all of your problems, pains, and other concerns so you won’t forget anything when speaking with the DC
• Make a list of any medications, vitamins, or supplements that you take for the DC to review
• Get in a relaxed state of mind by meditating, napping, or whatever helps you calm down
