Evidence-Based & Holistic Chiropractic In Setia Alam

Do Chiropractors Help Bones, Joints, Muscle, Ligaments & Tendons?

Yes, and here’s why. The best and most qualified non-surgical expert in diagnosing, treating, and managing a neuromusculoskeletal disorder (muscles, ligaments, joints, nerves, nervous systems) is a chiropractor. Medical doctors and spine surgeons rely on medication, injections, and surgery. Also, they depend on physiotherapists. A chiropractor’s primary focus is to undo the actual cause of pain by repairing the damaged tissue.

That is the main reason why chiros don’t prescribe medication. Medication and injections do little in repairing the damaged tissue. Painkillers, muscle realtors, and injections, for the most part, are designed to alleviate symptoms. Chiropractic care, on the other hand, is focused on correcting issues that caused the pain. Numerous published articles in reputable medical journals have found chiropractic care to be more productive and better targeted. However, when corrective chiropractic is coupled with clinical physiotherapy, the benefits are even better.

Chiropractic Specialty Center® provides the best and most comprehensive spine, joint, and sports injury treatment in town. Best of all, the care you get from our chiros is further enriched with the integration of clinical physiotherapy. In short, patients get the best of both worlds when they opt for our collaborative treatments of physiotherapy and chiropractic at Chiropractic Specialty Center®, Setia Alam.

What Are The Benefits Of Seeing Chiropractic?

Simply put, corrective chiropractic care benefits you by identifying and fixing the cause of your pain. Chiropractic care is entrenched in holistic principles with precise treatments for the injured or malfunctioning tissue. Procedures are either through hands-on methods, instruments, or specialized chiropractic or physiotherapy treatment or therapy machines.

D.C.’s, or Doctors of Chiropractic, have educational backgrounds enriched in diagnosis, treatments, and management of patients with neuromusculoskeletal conditions (neurological, muscles, ligaments, and joints). By visiting a Chiropractic Specialty Center®, you are giving your body the best chance to heal without drugs, injections, or surgery. Our clinical teams of physiotherapists and chiropractors in Setia Alam are the experts you need today. To conclude, chiropractic care benefits are targeted treatments that repair the actual damage: it is natural, safe, and at least 2-4 times more effective than traditional medical care.

Is The Chiropractic Adjustment Safe?

Here at Chiropractic Specialty Center®, patient safety is our utmost priority. That is why we do our best to find the safest conservative treatment methods to help our patients recover and improve.

Many patients are unaware that there are various types of adjustment techniques. The most commonly shared online and in videos is known as manual manipulation. In our clinic, we carry out most of our adjustments using the activator technique, a safer and gentler approach to treatment. This is because patients with acute or severe pain may not be able to tolerate forceful adjustments. Our chiropractor in Setia Alam will perform specific and non-painful adjustments (treatment) with the activator tool to mobilize and move the affected joints.

Although there are some risks with any medical or therapeutic procedure, the activator chiropractic technique is the safest. It eliminates the need to place the patient in uncomfortable or compromising positions. Most adjustments can be made in a seated or lying-down posture, which is comfortable for patients.

Our physicians will also assess you by using appropriate tests to ensure that you qualify for the treatments that will be prescribed for you. The benefits of activator adjustments outweigh the risk a lot more than treatments commonly prescribed for patients with low back pain, neck pain, knee pain, headaches, or slipped disc (e.g., Invasive surgical procedures and painkillers).

Is It Normal To Feel Pain After Adjustment Or Treatment?

Pain is not normal. You should never experience pain with targeted corrective chiropractic treatments. Although rare, some patients may experience soreness similar to the soreness felt after a workout session. The soreness usually only occurs in the beginning stages of treatment. As adjustments are carried out to facilitate joint mobility and muscular rehabilitation, your body may need first and second sessions. If the soreness persists, inform us, and our clinical teams will take appropriate precautions to avoid pain altogether.

Patients with significant muscle tightness are more likely to experience soreness after an adjustment. This is because moderate or severally spasmodic muscles (tight muscles) will have higher levels of lactic acid built up. An adjustment may lead to the release of the built-up lactic acid, leading to soreness. Another reason for slight pain is the reintroduction of mobility into a restricted joint. A joint that has lost mobility may become sore after mobility is reintroduced.

If you ever experience any soreness from physiotherapy or chiropractic in Setia Alam, please immediately inform a clinical team member. Our motto is More Gain With No Pain.

How Does Chiropractic Adjustment Help?

The chiropractic treatment or “adjustment” aids in the proper function of your neuromusculoskeletal systems. The neuromusculoskeletal systems are made of your nerves, nervous systems, muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints, spinal discs, spinal nerves, and bones. The goal of the adjustments is to bring about stability in all these structures at once. Therefore, the critical component of an adjustment is the therapeutic effect on the nervous systems and tissues in need of corrective care.

How Often Should You See A Chiropractor?

The frequency of your care depends on the severity of your condition and your body’s ability to heal and respond to the treatment through physiotherapy combined with chiropractic in Setia Alam. In short, it is dictated by clinical findings and your overall health. Younger and stronger patients need less frequent therapy, while older and weaker patients may require more frequent treatment sessions.

For those with intense pain or severe conditions, daily sessions may be needed. Less harsh conditions are correctable within 2 or 3 sessions of treatments per week. Mild disorders may require a couple or less than six (6) sessions. In short, the frequency of care provided is dependent on several factors:

• Severity of pain
• Duration or chronicity of the current condition
• The complexity of injury or health condition
• Overall health
• Your age

The frequency of care reduces as your progress. As your health improves, we will then reduce the rate of your visits to 1 (once) a week or less, depending on your condition. Maintaining your scheduled appointments is a vital part of your recovery. Our physiotherapy, rehabilitation, occupational therapy, and chiropractic method in Setia Alam focuses on repairing the actual cause.

Are Chiropractic Adjustments Necessary?

Yes, chiropractic adjustments are a central pillar for an effective treatment that targeted the actual cause of your spine, joints, sports injuries, slipped disc, or scoliosis. A chiropractic adjustment is the best means of alleviating compressed nerves and joints. In short, treatments by our chiropractors are an integral part of the comprehensive spine and joint care. Chiropractic Specialty Center® is a physiotherapy and chiropractic treatment center. Our collaborative method of care is perfect for those seeking healing therapy through comprehensive or holistic means. In short, you need both: chiropractic and physiotherapy. Not having one or the other will impact the rate of your recovery. Chiropractic care is a vital part of patient treatment, as, without joint facilitation and mobilization, complete recovery becomes almost impossible.

Is It Okay To See A Chiropractor Regularly?

Corrective chiropractic focuses on stabilizing the nervous systems and the musculoskeletal systems. So, regular chiropractic treatment goes a long way in helping your body stay strong, active, and healthy. Most of us sit too long with poor posture (hunched forward). We depend far more on handheld devices, which leads to weaknesses and instabilities in the neck, upper back, shoulder, and lower back regions. All that sitting with poor posture leads to damage due to the cumulative adverse impacts on the body. Even the strongest among us will eventually succumb to it. In short, regular care through our targeted physiotherapy and chiropractic in Setia Alam will help you live a healthier, more active life.

Sitting for long hours at work or carrying heavy things at home are all part of our usual day-to-day activities. However, those simple activities cause an increase in the degeneration process of your joints. These daily activities may not cause you immediate pain. However, you may start to feel discomfort as the stresses in the joint and surrounding soft tissue accumulate over time.

Repetitive patterns of activity cause more loading and stress on the joints. For example, sitting for 6-8 hours increases the strain on your muscles, ligaments, discs, and joints. Your intervertebral disc, which acts as a cushion and shock absorber for your lower back, has a pressure of 70mmHg. However, that pressure increases to 300mmHg or more when seated with poor posture. A targeted corrective chiropractic adjustment can depressurize joints, and discs and lessen the stress on muscles and ligaments. In short, you will benefit more when you opt for regular treatment through chiropractic in Setia Alam.

Chiropractic In Setia Alam For Sciatica

Chiropractic is best for sciatica. A compressed sciatic nerve is an irritated and inflamed nerve, hence the term sciatica. Chiropractic aims to alleviate the pressure of the emerging sciatic nerve or the sciatic nerve itself.

The sciatic nerve is a large nerve that runs from the buttocks down the back of your leg. Sciatica occurs with the compression of the sciatic nerve. Nerve compression can occur in the lower back or the buttocks under the piriformis muscle. A misalignment in the lower spine or surrounding joints, such as the pelvis (hip or sacroiliac joint), can produce sciatica symptoms. These misalignments lead to abnormal motion or function of the spine, hips, pelvis, or gluteal muscles. The chiropractic treatment promotes healthy and regular movements of the joints and reduces muscle tension. Thus, reducing the need for the piriformis muscle to compensate for the lack of joint motion.

Sciatica treatments by our corrective methods of physiotherapy combined with chiropractic in Setia Alam work better than those offered by others. We had helped thousands, even when others failed.

Best Methods Of Chiropractic In Setia Alam

After years of research, studying, and practicing chiropractic and physiotherapy, we at Chiropractic Specialty Center® believe that the activator technique combined with physiotherapy is the most effective treatment for our patients.

The activator adjustment technique uses an activator tool that releases a quick, gentle impulse onto specifically targeted joints to induce an increase in joint mobility and space. Many patients are unaware that there are various types of adjustment techniques.

Even though the most commonly known technique for chiropractic adjustment is manual manipulation, it may not necessarily be the best option for every individual. In our clinic, we carry out most of our chiropractic adjustments using the activator technique, a safer and gentler approach to treatment. We use activator methods because patients with acute or severe pain may not tolerate forceful adjustments. Our chiropractors perform specific and non-painful treatments with the activator tool to mobilize and move the affected joints.

Types Of Chiropractic In Setia Alam

Yes, the approaches may differ depending on the method your chiropractor chooses to practice. At Chiropractic Specialty Center®, we believe that the activator technique is the safest and most effective in helping our patients recover.

• Activator technique: Using a handheld adjustment tool (Activator tool) produces a gentle and non-painful impulse to mobilize and restrict joints.
• Gonstead technique: A hands-on and manual technique often involves the chiropractor adjusting the joints, such as the lower back or pelvic region, with force.
• Diversified and Gonstead Techniques: Diversified and Gonstead techniques often use a manual method of treatment where patients are positioned at the end range of joint motion and given a thrust using the practitioner’s hands.

Via the activator tool adjustments, our skilled chiropractors will use it to apply a gentle impulse of force to the restricted joints to promote movement in the joints. The adjustments do not cause any pain but will provide a lot of relief to patients. Many patients are unaware that there are various types of adjustment techniques. The most commonly known is the Gonstead or Diversified Technique. In our clinic, we carry out most of our adjustments using the activator technique, a safer and gentler approach to treatment. However, there are times when we may choose to treat patients with Diversified or Gonstead methods if indicated by your condition.
