Chiropractic Treatment and Musculoskeletal Treatments in Omaha

Chiropractic care is a safe and effective way to treat musculoskeletal ailments like back pain, neck pain, or sciatica. At least that is what the results of a variety of new studies are concluding. The most recent of which compared the benefits of chiropractic treatment with more conventional medical care for the most common types of pain issues affecting adults of different ages.

Spinal Manipulation 

Spinal manipulation describes any type of therapeutic movement of the spine, specifically applying pressure on a joint between two vertebrae. Most research on chiropractic treatment has focused on spinal manipulation for back pain. And with good reason as that is the most common problem facing adults as they age.

Done correctly, spinal manipulation often restores the proper position of the vertebral joints that protect the nerves in the spine which in turn gives the body its ability to address and heal the source of the pain. For example, the body’s natural response to pain is often a muscle spasm especially if the pain is related to muscles or ligaments. So, treat the source and eliminate the pain.
