Chiropractic: A safe, and rapid intervention as an effective alternative to mainstream medicine in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. Chiropractic has for many years been a marginalised and judged profession, based on the hearsay of those with preconceived yet uneducated ideas who have monopoly over the trusting population. What’s current in research for Chiropractic and the health industry. When you, the patient, arrive for your first treatment at a Chiropractor’s rooms it can often seem quite daunting for various reasons. Before we get started, remember that the Chiropractor is well qualified. He does a 6-year Masters Degree which prepares him thoroughly to do what he does. Also, your care is his primary concern, and he will do everything in his power to make you better. In the beginning of the consultation, the Chiropractor will ask you some questions relating to the problem that you have at the moment and also ask you about your previous medical history. This is so that he can establish where exactly the problem is, and more importantly what caused it. By figuring out what caused the problem, he can get a good idea of what treatment will work best for you. If your problem will be better handled by another health care professional, then he will be able to refer you in the right direction. After that, the Chiropractor will do some basic tests to check how much your joints can move and others to test how well your nerves are working so that he can find out even more information about your problem. Naturally everyone’s different so people respond differently to the treatment, and it may take longer, or shorter than you expected for your injury to heal. This is not only because the body has been pushed and prodded, but also because the joints and muscles are re-adjusting to their new position. This tenderness usually takes from just a couple of hours, up to 48 hours to dissipate and after that you should feel a lot better. This depends on the type of problem you have and how your body responds to the treatment. It’s very important to follow their instructions accurately so that you get the best results out of your treatment.
