Chiropractic Care from a Chiropractor in Independence

Whether from whiplash, an auto accident injury, a sports injury, or a medical condition, your chronic pain has taken over your life. You just can’t get around and do what you used to. Exercising is out of the question, and even walking sometimes hurts.

You’re not happy with the way your life has changed, but what can you do? Why not seek out a chiropractor in Independence? We can reduce your pain through various chiropractic adjustment techniques and other chiropractic care.

What Does a Chiropractor Do?

Our chiropractors will invite a patient in and start with a consultation. During this appointment, the patient will describe all their symptoms to the chiropractor. What makes our work different is that instead of prescribing medications or treatments that erase the symptoms of pain, we work on reducing the target of the pain itself.

This is done through various chiropractic adjustments using the following techniques: prone specific, diversified, Thompson and activator. We’ll now explain these techniques more in-depth.

  • Prone specific: Sometimes also called specific prone, the prone specific technique adjusts spinal vertebrae to reduce pain. It’s a simple treatment that involves our chiropractors using their hands to achieve results.
  • Diversified: Named such because it’s like multiple treatments in one, the diversified technique calls on our chiropractor to move first in a low-amplitude motion and then switch to a high-velocity motion.
  • Thompson: The Thompson technique requires the use of drop pieces and a table. As a spinoff of the diversified technique, the drop pieces allow for more thorough adjustments that really get to the source of pain.
  • Activator: The activator technique also makes use of a medical instrument, this time one that’s spring-loaded. This instrument works fast and efficiently, delivering pain reduction.

What Can a Chiropractor in Independence Treat?

Your chiropractor in Independence can use the above-mentioned techniques to treat a variety of medical conditions and injuries. These include whiplash, neck pain, back pain, and auto accident injuries from a car accident.

Whiplash often results from an auto accident injury, but you could have other injuries as well. Neck pain and back pain are commonly reported after a car accident. This pain may get worse over time.
