Chiropractor Bathgate

What Exactly is a Chiropractor? - If you are wondering exactly what a chiropractor is, I will try to explain in the most basic terms. By and large a chiropractor is a highly trained health care practitioner who specialises in the adjustment of the spine for the purpose of alleviating pain which has been caused by nerve and muscle disorders. This treatment is administered by using the hands. Though not widely available on the NHS, these kinds of treatments are becoming more and more favoured by people living in Bathgate, even though they're still considered by many in the conventional health care profession to be strictly alternative or complementary therapies.

The majority of chiropractors in Bathgate treat a variety of complaints including shoulder pain, leg pain, arm pain, tension, hip pain, muscle spasms, tennis elbow, neck pain, headaches, dizziness, migraines, lumbar pain, frozen shoulder, foot pain, whiplash pain, sciatic pain, ankle pain, knee pain, tinnitus, plagiocephaly, back pain, and pretty much anything with regards to the muscles, joints and bones, while some Bathgate chiropractors concentrate on more targeted aspects of the field such as neck pain or sports related injuries.

What's Involved? - Before a defined treatment plan can be organised your chiropractor will conduct a preliminary consultation. This will allow the therapist to determine and fully understand the history of your condition. In order for them to get an outline of your general health and lifestyle, you'll be asked to fill in a health questionnaire. This initial session could possibly last as long as one hour and should end with the chiropractor detailing their ideas in regards to your condition. Should they think that chiropractic treatment will be of benefit to you, your first therapy session can be organized.

Does it Hurt? Generally speaking chiropractic treatments do not hurt, patients undergoing treatment might feel some discomfort or pressure while adjustments are being made to the joints, but enjoy a level of relief shortly afterwards. One of the great benefits of such chiropractic therapies is that they're mostly gentle, safe and drug free.

Some Bathgate chiropractors will be happy to provide further services and therapies such as acupuncture, IDD disc treatments, yoga sessions, bikefitting, the Graston technique, physiotherapy, massage, podiatry, radial shockwave therapy and K-Laser therapy, subject to your condition. You will also be able to get advice and guidance on nutrition, diet, rehabilitation, self-help, improving posture, therapeutic exercises, lifestyle and ergonomics, where it is appropriate.

Any chiropractor in Bathgate, Scotland, and indeed any other area of the British Isles, is regulated by the General Chiropractic Council, which was established by an Act of Parliament in 1994. It is a criminal offence for anyone advertising themselves as a chiropractic practitioner, to not be listed on the "Register of Chiropractors" - or basically, a signed up member of the GCC (General Giropractic Council). The guaranteed health and safety of the public whilst they're undergoing chiropractic treatments, and maintaining the highest standards throughout the chiropractic profession are the chief functions of the UK-wide General Chiropractic Council.

What's the Difference Between an Osteopath and a Chiropractor? - A question that is commonly asked is "Exactly what is the difference between an osetopath and a chiropractor?" The simple answer is that there is not a great deal of difference between the two. These two professions in fact have goals that are similar, in other words to relieve pain in the patient, and overall are quite similar. That being said, an osteopath will usually work on the entire body of patients, while a chiropractor tends to focus on treatments of the vertebrae and spine. Furthermore, Osteopaths also treat a whole host of other medical conditions including depression, postnatal anxiety, acid reflux, period pains, pregnancy related pain, colic, irregular sleep and inflammatory arthritis.

Laser Therapies Bathgate - Aside from the traditional bone manipulation therapies, a few chiropractors in Bathgate are able to offer supplemental treatment solutions, and one of the most common is laser therapy, which comes in two forms - "LLLT (Low Level Laser Therapy)" and "HILT (High Intensity Laser Therapy)". LLLT or cold laser therapy as it's sometimes called is a procedure that is recognised for helping nerve regeneration, tissue repair and bone formation. Professed to improve the body's recovery process, Low Level Laser Therapy which is in some cases used in place of acupuncture treatments, is especially beneficial in the treatment of soft tissue damage and bone injuries. The second of these 2 treatments - High Intensity Laser Therapy, works by using a more powerful laser unit and offers a range of wavelengths, which can penetrate deeper and work quicker.

Osteopathy Bathgate

It has been proven scientifically that the health of a person's spine has a bearing on their all round health and wellness. Manipulation of the spine back into alignment eases areas of pain, supports the nervous system and increases the blood flow.

Osteopathy looks at the body as a whole and thus, a qualified Doctor of Osteopathy (DO) in Bathgate is able to treat a broader range of disorders by focusing on the spine, joints and muscles of the body. In the osteopathy process, the therapy is very much hands on, with the conviction that manipulating specific areas can promote the body's healing process.

A course of osteopathic therapies can help in the long term to relieve pain from sporting injuries, back and neck pain and arthritis, and is also recognised for improving bad posture.

Sports Massage Bathgate

The excessive use of muscle groups and pain from other sporting injuries can be alleviated by the application of sports massage and chiropractic treatments. Where sports massage deals primarily with soft tissue and muscular treatments, chiropractic care deals with the nervous system and musculoskeletal issues.

Muscle tension can be eased during a chiropractic treatment in Bathgate so as to reduce excessive pressure on joints and the skeletal system. Relaxed and tension free muscles facilitate the manipulation process during chiropractic procedures and gives longer lasting benefits following the treatment.

Poorly aligned joints can also be a cause of pain in soft tissues and muscles of the body. Temporary pain relief can be realised by means of sports massage of the area, but to treat the underlying cause requires the attention of a registered Bathgate chiropractor.

Chiropractor for Headaches

If you suffer from frequent headaches, a chiropractor can help. A chiropractor specialises in spinal correction, which can help reduce the severity and frequency of headaches. They can also treat surrounding soft tissue and nerves. The spine consists of bones and disks, which support a network of nerves and connect the lower back to the head. Poor spinal alignment is a common cause of frequent headaches.

Migraine headaches are characterised by intense pain in the neck and head. Some sufferers may also experience sensitivity to light, sound and smell. The pain typically lasts for four to 72 hours, though sometimes it lasts longer. In some cases, people also experience an aura before their migraine begins.

Another common cause of headaches is an injured neck joint. These are commonly injured due to whiplash-type injuries and quick movements without proper stabilisation. Degenerative joints can also cause headaches by compressing local tissues. A chiropractor will evaluate the joints and muscles in your neck and upper back to determine if they're the culprit. A chiropractor will also perform spinal manipulation to help relieve your pain.

Headaches are common, affecting 90 percent of UK adults on an occasional or chronic basis. Symptoms vary from person to person and can affect any part of the head. Many people turn to over-the-counter medications to manage the pain, but chiropractic treatments can help reduce the frequency and severity of headaches.
