Chiropractor Alva

Exactly What is a Chiropractor? - You might be asking "What is a chiropractor?" and to put it briefly, it's a trained medical professional who specializes in the manipulation of the spine to relieve pain resulting from neuromuscular disorders. Though not usually available on the NHS, these types of treatments are becoming ever more popular with people living in Alva, even though they are still regarded by many in the health care profession to be strictly alternative or complementary therapies.

Some chiropractors in Alva may specialize on certain aspects of the discipline, for instance back pain or sporting injuries, while most work on a variety of issues that may include the likes of shoulder pain, ankle pain, plagiocephaly, foot pain, arm pain, leg pain, neck pain, frozen shoulder, muscle spasms, whiplash pain, tension, tennis elbow, sciatica, migraines, knee pain, dizziness, headaches, lumbar pain, tinnitus, hip pain, back pain and in fact anything with regard to the joints, bones and muscles of the body.

What is Involved? - Before a definitive treatment plan can be prepared the chiropractor will carry out a preliminary consultation. This will allow the specialist to determine and fully get a handle on the story behind your condition. So they can get an idea of your lifestyle and general health, you will be required to fill out a health questionnaire. Lasting for about one hour this initial session will almost certainly end with the chiropractic practitioner conveying their conclusions concerning your complaint. If the chiropractor believes that a targeted course of therapy will be useful in alleviating your complaint the first treatment can be organised at an suitable time.

Will it Hurt? As luck would have it, patients who are undergoing chiropractic therapies do not usually feel much pain, though a bit of discomfort may be experienced as the joints are being manipulated. However, they should experience a welcome degree of respite and relief from pain immediately afterwards. All things considered, the fact that such chiropractic treatments are predominantly safe, gentle and drug free, is a big plus factor.

Depending upon what complaint you're enduring, added therapies such as sports massage, bikefitting, IDD disc therapy, acupuncture, chiropody, radial extra corporeal shockwave therapy, ongoing rehabilitation, physiotherapy, high power laser therapy and the Graston technique might be provided by certain Alva chiropractors. They'll also offer guidance and advice upon lifestyle, nutrition, ergonomics, rehabilitation, self-help, improving posture, diet and exercise.

Any chiropractor in Alva, Scotland, and indeed any other area of the British Isles for that matter, is regulated by the General Chiropractic Council, an independent statutory body which was established by an Act of Parliament in 1994. It is against the law for any individual describing themselves as a chiropractic practitioner, to not be on the "Register of Chiropractors" - in other words, a fully signed up member of the GCC (General Giropractic Council). The General Chiropractic Council (GCC) was put in place to assure the safety and health of the public when they are having chiropractic treatments, therefore maintaining high standards of practice possible within the profession.

Chiropractor or Osteopath - So, what exactly is the real difference between an osetopath and a chiropractor? The best answer is that there basically isn't a whole lot of difference between the two. In truth both are quite similar and have goals which are much the same, ie to reduce pain. Be that as it may, an osteopath will usually work on the whole body of a patient, while a chiropractor tends to focus on treatments of the vertebrae and spine. Osteopaths should also be able to deal with with conditions like postnatal anxiety, depression, irregular sleep, arthritis, pregnancy related pain, reflux, period pains and colic.

Laser Therapies Alva - There are fundamentally 2 forms of laser therapy that are often offered by chiropractors in Alva - they are "LLLT (Low Level Laser Therapy)" and "HILT (High Intensity Laser Therapy)". Aimed primarily at nerve regeneration, tissue repair and bone formation, LLLT or cold laser therapy as it's sometimes called is the first of these procedures. Especially helpful with soft tissue damage and bone injuries, Low Level Laser Therapy is claimed to improve the body's recovery process. In comparison, HILT (High Intensity Laser Therapy), has a choice of wavelengths and has a more powerful laser unit, which can work faster through deep tissue penetration.
