Chiropractors specialize in treating musculoskeletal problems. Many pay particular attention to the spine. While chiropractors in Lincoln Park don’t perform surgery or prescribe medication, they provide a variety of other treatments.
What Is Spinal Manipulation?
Spinal manipulation is probably the therapy that is most commonly associated with chiropractors. They often use it to reduce pain and improve the patient’s mobility. The patient will usually lie down on a table, and the chiropractor will use their hands or a device to exert a controlled force on a joint within the spine to make it move beyond the patient’s usual range of motion.
What Is RockTape?
RockTape is a brand of therapeutic tape that can be used to improve an athlete’s performance or treat injuries. It can, for example, help reduce fatigue by stabilizing an athlete’s wrists. It can also be used to treat conditions or injuries like plantar fasciitis, shin splints, tennis elbow, rotator cuff, and pulled hamstrings.
RockTape is water-resistant and can last for up to five days. The patient will be able to go about their usual activities and may even shower while wearing RockTape.
What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient therapy that was first developed in China over 3,000 years ago. While it is most commonly used to treat pain, it can also be used to treat anxiety and some types of arthritis. During treatment, the therapist will insert sterile needles in strategic parts of the body.
A typical session takes about 60 minutes and can be combined with cupping or a type of Chinese massage called tui na.
