Chiropractic medicine is an emerging alternative way of treating various illnesses. The word chiropractic is from two words which mean hand and manipulation. It is thus the bare hand manipulation of the spine and the pelvis to tone and condition the nerves which innervate the various body organs. Experts have looked at the role chiropractic care may play in health promotion and disease prevention. Chiropractic care's offer of a holistic style of practice is deemed to be very beneficial for geriatric care patients. This is because chiropractic services are safe and known to count on patient satisfaction. In a study, elderly patients receiving quality chiropractic care for ailments of a neuromusculoskeletal origin (primarily low-back and neck pain) reported very high patient satisfaction. The procedures included chiropractic adjustments and manipulation, in addition to supportive therapies and education. The reported patient results included significant functional improvement and reduction in pain. Chiropractor Techniques Full-spine specific technique Extremity manipulating or adjusting technique Activator technique Gonstead Technique Cox Flexion or distraction technique Thompson technique Another type of chiropractic treatment is the manipulation and adjustment of the extremities. Many people suffer from stiff joints and sore muscles. By adjusting the extremities, chiropractors aim to restore muscular mobility which increases blood flow thus reducing stiffness. When your muscles and joints feel loose, your entire mind and body feels better. There are two specific type of chiropractic adjustments called the Activator Method and the Thompson Technique. Both of these techniques relate to the legs and how the hips and pelvis are aligned. The Activator method takes a close look at how each person stands and how the length of their legs could possibly affect their pelvic alignment. The chiropractor manipulates the affected vertebrae and pelvic bones to achieve realignment. With the Thompson Technique, the chiropractor adjusts the legs, pushing them back into the hip sockets to help realign them. Over a long period of time, the way a person stands can affect the hip joints and become painful. By adjusting these joints, everything in the lower body can be realigned relieving pain. Chiropractic Care Can Offer: • Pain relief that prompts one to resume an active lifestyle • Moderate pain relief that helps one resume with certain activities • Thwarted progression of conditions in the case of advanced degenerative conditions The difference among the expected results is due to the wide range of conditions encountered and the severity in which they are found when the patient first undergoes chiropractic treatment. When a patient is already experiencing pronounced degeneration, has a sedentary lifestyle, and/or has other serious health problems, treatment goals reflect more modest treatment results.
