If you've been seriously injured in an accident you may want to learn more about various types of medical care that could provide you with some pain relief and that can help speed up recovery times. This article, provided by the Upper West Side personal injury attorneys at Banville Law, goes over the history of chiropractic care, the benefits of chiropractic care, and provides a list of chiropractors in the Upper West Side.
One day, in 1885, Daniel David Palmer was sitting in his office. The janitor came in and while emptying the trash can, Palmer noted that the man had a knot in his spine. The janitor told Palmer that years before, he had been lifting something and heard a "pop". He had experienced discomfort ever since.
Palmer used pressure and movement to realign the man's spine and the knot disappeared. The janitor reported feeling immediate relief. Then, a few days later, the janitor told Palmer that his diminished hearing had improved.
It was this interaction that caused Palmer to learn more about the musculoskeletal system and how spinal alignments could help the overall health of a patient. In 1887, he stopped practicing magnetic healing and opened the Palmer School Of Chiropractic. By the early 1900s, chiropractic care was recognized by many states as an official form of medicine and practitioners had to pass rigorous testing in order to be licensed.
Typically chiropractic adjustments do not hurt. Patients report feeling some pressure and discomfort as the adjustment is made, as well as soreness after. This soreness is comparable to having exercised heavily.
The length of time a patient will need to see a chiropractor depends on their health. For some, a few visits are enough. Others will need to continue care for years. During the first visit with a chiropractor, be sure to ask how long they anticipate the treatments will last.
Chiropractors can treat a wide variety of injuries and symptoms. A few examples include:
The chiropractic care received can be used in conjunction with other medical treatments. Since chiropractors do not prescribe medications or perform surgeries, they frequently consult a patient's other physicians to create an overall treatment plan.
