Why Do Some Chiropractors in Belvidere IL Offer Physiotherapy?

It’s not unusual for people to think of chiropractors as “back doctors” and to assume that adjustments are all they provide. As chiropractic adjustments tend to be the topic of conversation in chiropractic care and the one patients talk about the most, it’s understandable that the field seems so limited. The truth is, though, that chiropractors offer various techniques in addition to adjustments, which in our case includes physiotherapy. Dr. Javurek at Javurek Chiropractic of Belvidere and Boone County, IL, explains why below.

Chiropractors Treat Musculoskeletal Conditions

Chiropractors attend school for years to learn about the entire musculoskeletal system and the hundreds of conditions that can affect it. This system includes the bones, of course, but also the ligaments, tendons, muscles, and cartilage. They also learn the connection between this system and the nervous system. As such, they have the education necessary to treat it all.

Comprehensive Relief Requires Comprehensive Treatment

When there is a problem in the skeletal system, it can impact both the muscular and the nervous systems. For example, a misalignment in the lower back can cause tension, a herniated disc, and sciatica.

Restoring alignment to the back through adjustments is critical, but it doesn’t necessarily take away all the pain – or fully heal the muscles or nerves. Without addressing the tension, your muscles are likely to pull the spine back out of alignment, which would leave you still suffering.

Combining physiotherapy with adjustments and other techniques allows your chiropractor to address the entire problem – not just a portion of it. Targeted exercises would help stretch and strengthen your back. This would not only enhance your healing and recovery but also help your back support proper spinal alignment naturally.

Receive personalized, comprehensive care to help you feel better now and maintain spinal wellness through adjustments, physiotherapy, and other effective methods. Call (815) 544-9298 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Javurek at Javurek Chiropractic of Belvidere and Boone County, IL.
