Experience the Best Chiropractic Treatments

Camrose Chiropractic

Chiropractic is an evidence-based, non-invasive, hands-on health care discipline that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. Chiropractors practice primarily using their hands, providing diagnosis, treatment and preventive care for disorders related to the spine, joints, and muscles of the body. Chiropractic services are used most often to treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited to back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches.

Chiropractic care may also be used to provide symptomatic relief for patients with chronic conditions.

Back pain
Neck pain
Sports Injuries
Headache
Whiplash
Sciatica
Strains and sprains
Arthritis
Limited range of motion in the back, shoulder, neck or limbs

Chiropractors use a combination of treatments, depending on the specific needs of the individual patient. After taking a history, performing an examination, and establishing a diagnosis, a chiropractor can develop and carry out a comprehensive treatment/management plan, recommend therapeutic exercise and other non-invasive therapies, as well as provide nutritional and lifestyle counseling.

One of the most common therapies a chiropractor uses is spinal manipulative therapy (SMT), which can comprise a variety of hands-on techniques. Specific training in SMT allows chiropractors to provide highly-skilled and precise adjustments to the vertebrae of the spine, correcting joint motion to restore proper movement and improve function.

At Central Physiotherapy & Massage, our Chiropractor is a Doctor of Chiropractic and is committed to help everyone in our community live a healthy and pain free life!

Joint Manipulations

Joint manipulation is a type of manual therapy performed here at Central Physiotherapy & Massage clinic. It involves the passive movement of specific joints using the skilled application of force, direction, and technique.

Our clinicians can use his or her hands to mobilize an affected joint or may elect to use certain tools, including straps, to help deliver the desired treatment effect.

What Will Joint Manipulation Techniques Look Like?

If you come to see a physiotherapist at Central Physiotherapy & Massage with acute or chronic joint pain, you can expect to be thoroughly evaluated on an initial examination. We’ll be assessing and evaluating everything from your range of motion, strength, coordination, pain level, posture, and even relative tissue tension in order to devise an accurate diagnosis.

Based on our exam findings, as well as the information we glean from questioning you about your current and past medical history, we’ll be able to devise a customized treatment plan to meet your unique needs. Since joint mobilization techniques have been shown to be effective for a variety of conditions, we very well may decide to implement this type of manual therapy in your plan of care, with your consent.

Our Clinicians will be sure to offer you clear details on how to sit or lie during the session, what you should expect to feel, as well as what to do following your session in order to maximize effects and prevent recurring pain or dysfunction.

To complement and optimize the effects of joint mobilizations, we’ll also instruct you in additional services, which may include therapeutic exercises for strengthening and range of motion, modalities, and postural and neuromuscular retraining.

Will Joint Manipulation Treat My Condition?

Sometimes, a joint can become irritated, swollen, or misaligned as a result of injury, stress, poor posture, repetitive movement, or even as a result of age-related wear and tear. When this happens, the joint may not move correctly and become stiff and painful. Nearby structures including muscles, tendons, and ligaments may become tense or injured as a compensatory effect of trying to support or stabilize the injured joint. This can lead to muscle weakness or even impingement and damage to nearby nerves.

Joint manipulation isn’t appropriate for all patients, and our skilled and experience chiropractors can determine if it’s right for you or a loved one. A referral is often made to a physiotherapist who can further assess and treat the issue. Specific conditions which our physiotherapists successfully manage with joint mobilizations include:

Whiplash
Ankle sprains
Rotator cuff tears and sprains
Sciatica and other types of nerve impingement syndromes
Arthritis (especially of the shoulder, spine, elbow, hip, and knee)
Adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder)
Medial or lateral epicondylitis (golfer’s or tennis elbow, respectively)
Facet joint locking and other types of spinal misalignments

Joint issues are often the hidden underlying factors driving other types of injuries and ailments including muscle strains, ligament damage, and bursitis, so this is why we strongly encourage you to consult with a Camrose Physiotherapist or Chiropractor with any type of acute or chronic dysfunction. Your joints could be contributing to your pain without you even realizing it!
