Chiropractors use manual therapies, such as spinal manipulation, to help alleviate pain, improve spinal function, and promote overall musculoskeletal health. Generally, patients will feel some relief from upper or low back pain, however it can depend on the exact cause or if you are suffering severe pain.

Both a chiro and a physical therapist play valuable roles in managing musculoskeletal conditions, so it will come down to personal preference and needs. A chiro focuses on manual therapy to provide pain relief, and physio uses a broader range such as exercise therapy, rehabilitation and stretching.

To provide pain relief, or even achieve a totally pain free state, will depend entirely on the underlying cause of the pain and your response to treatment. Effective chiropractic management may take a few weeks or months to alleviate upper or low back pain.

When treating a “bad back”, or back pain, a chiro will assess your condition and medical history and may even order diagnostic tests or imaging. A treatment plan may consist of a combination of manual manipulation and spinal adjustments to relieve pain, realign the spin and restore functioning.

Chiropractors are trained to diagnose and treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. Common conditions treated by chiropractors include up or low back pain, headaches, sciatica, joint pain, muscle strains, and sports injuries. They also provide care for individuals with chronic conditions like arthritis and may offer preventive care to promote overall musculoskeletal health.

At Lumière Clinic, our chiropractor offers a range of chiropractic treatments tailored to the unique needs of cosmetic patients. These treatments may include spinal adjustments, joint mobilisation, soft tissue techniques and therapeutic exercises.

In addition to manual manipulation techniques, other aspects may include patient education, lifestyle advice, and rehabilitative exercises. Chiropractors often emphasise the importance of maintaining proper posture, practicing ergonomic techniques, and engaging in regular physical activity to support musculoskeletal health.

During your first visit to a chiropractor, you can expect a thorough assessment of your condition. The chiropractor will review your medical history, conduct a physical examination, and may order diagnostic tests if necessary. They will discuss your symptoms, goals, and concerns to develop an understanding of your needs. Based on the evaluation, the chiropractor will create an individualised treatment plan and explain the recommended approach. Treatment may include spinal adjustments, other manual techniques, exercises, and advice on lifestyle modifications.

While spinal manipulation performed by qualified chiropractors is generally considered safe, there are some risks associated with the procedure. These risks may include temporary soreness, stiffness, or mild discomfort following the adjustment. Serious complications are rare.

The frequency of chiropractic visits depends on several factors, including the nature of your condition, your response to treatment, and your individual goals. In some cases, individuals may benefit from more frequent visits initially, followed by a transition to maintenance or preventive care.
