Chiropractic treatment from a physical therapy specialist in conjunction with exercise is an excellent alternative to treating lower back pain and neck issues. Instead of risking the side effects of medication or the aftermath of surgery.
Whether you should get chiropractic care for your injury depends on your condition's severity.
The goal of the treatments is to improve your body's function and improve your spine's motion. To treat back pain, a chiropractor will use an instrument or their hands to apply a sudden (and controlled) force to your spinal joints.
They will tug on your neck to stretch your cervical spine at various angles when tackling neck pain.
Many know of these procedures as spinal manipulations.
Chiropractic care is also effective for treating the following symptoms and conditions:

This type of therapy can help to improve circulation and reduce inflammation. Fixing these areas in your body can help eliminate strains, improve body movement, and treat various disorders.
Risks associated with chiropractic manipulation include temporary discomfort, headaches, and fatigue. More severe risks include herniated disks, strokes, and pinched nerves. However, these risks are rare. Chiropractic manipulation is generally considered a safe treatment option.
Besides gathering your medical information (e.g., family medical history), you do not need any prior preparation for your appointment.
You may want to dress in loose-fitting clothing. Doing so will make you feel more comfortable during your appointment.
