Overview
Chiropractor is considered as one of the cheapest kinds of treatment as it provides adjustment to localized movement either in the spinal joint, arm or leg. The adjustment therapy is a non-invasive way of restoring your range of motion and improving the functions. The adjustment stimulates the central nervous system to release the body’s own pain-relieving hormones and thereby providing pain reduction and restoration of movement. Chiropractors can help with a variety of muscle and joint conditions. Chiropractic treatment can also help in healing post work related injury as well as motor vehicle accidents. The benefits of chiropractic care include improved movement in neck, shoulders, back and torso, better posture, relief from the headaches neck and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, improved flexibility, relief of pregnancy related back pain, correction of gait and foot problems.
Hot stone massage is the use of warm stones placed on the spine and various body parts. This can be done in conjunction of essential oils as needed. Your therapist may choose to move the stones with some degree of varying pressure over the various body areas. This treatment can be very relaxing at the same time therapeutic in a way that it will allow for promoting lymphatic drainage and improving the blood flow over the body parts treated. When the stones are placed over the spinal area it also allows for stimulation to those joints and to allows blood flow into the nerve endings and stimulation of the nervous tissue.
Osteopathic massage techniques are also used in massage and to help manipulate the visceral tissue such as your organs in the abdomen and even to treat bony areas within the body. This form of treatment is extremely specialized and requires extended skill set. Such treatment is useful after a bad motor vehicle accident or long-standing aches and pains and chronic history of pain. This can be combined with specific exercises to help promote healing in the body. Again it is important to consult your medical doctor/physiotherapist before starting exercises.
