Whether you have an acute back or other joint injury, a recurrent issue which is bothering you, or are in the process of rehabilitation, chiropractic can help.
We treat a wide range of injuries – remember that a chiropractor is trained in treating any joint, not just the spine. Sprains and strains, tendinopathies, bursitis and impingements can all benefit from chiropractic care. Management is rehabilitation based, supported by adjustment and other modalities; your clinician will follow certain protocols for particular injuries and provide treatment options that you are comfortable with and are most likely to benefit from.
Initially treatment of an acute injury may just be RICE – rest, ice, compression, elevation – although ice is generally used in the first 24h, after which heat can be of more benefit.
In the clinic, we might use:
Rehabilitation and strengthening exercises are prescribed using VALD. This is a user-friendly interface with high quality, easy to follow videos which will be hand-picked for your particular goals. If your clinician chooses to use this program, you will be sent a link with access via email within 48h of your appointment. Log-ins and completion of exercises is recorded on VALD and will provide information to your chiropractor about how you are progressing.
