Bridlewood Chiropractic
320 Eagleson Road Unit D3A ChiropracticChiropractors practice drug-free, manual health care that includes patient assessment, diagnosis and treatment. Chiropractors assess patients for disorders related to the spine, neck, pelvis, and the joints and muscles of the limbs. After taking a patient history, and conducting a physical assessment, chiropractors are able to provide a differential diagnosis for the patient's condition(s) and develop a comprehensive treatment/management plan. Chiropractors are also trained to prescribe therapeutic exercise, to utilize other non-invasive therapies, as well as to provide nutritional and lifestyle counseling. Chiropractic can help many conditions including headaches, neck pain, shoulder and arm pain, hip and leg pain, lower back pain, and sciatica. It can also help with pain caused by carpal tunnel syndrome, foot pain and ankle injuries, and stress. Your First Visit and Adjustment Information VideosClick here for general information about chiropractic and for two short videos about your first visit to a chiropractor and the chiropractic adjustment. The Safety of ChiropracticChiropractic is widely recognized as one of the safest, non-invasive, drug-free therapies available for the treatment of headache, neck, and back pain. It has an excellent safety record. However, no health treatment is completely free of potential adverse effects. Even common over-the-counter medicines carry risk. Most patients experience immediate relief following an adjustment, however, some may experience temporary pain, stiffness or slight swelling. Some patients may also experience temporary dizziness, local numbness, or radiating pain. However, adverse effects associated with spinal adjustment are typically minor and short-lived. The History of ChiropracticModern chiropractic has over 100 years of history but grew from other manual treatment techniques that have thousands of years of history. Over time, scientific research has helped chiropractic grow from an alternative therapy into a mainstream profession, and important member of the healthcare system. Chiropractors today work within the healthcare system, conduct research on their own or alongside medical doctors and other health professionals, and are important members of the communities in which they work and live.Bridlewood Chiropractic Clinic |
