Find Pain Relief with Help from Our Chiropractor

When you seek pain relief and prefer to skip prescription drugs, consider a doctor of chiropractic. At Battle Creek Family Chiropractic, which serves Battle Creek, MI, our practitioner uses chiropractic techniques to ease our patients’ pain and dysfunction.

Importance of a Well-Functioning Bone and Muscle System

In his training, our chiropractor learned that many problems that affect the body are caused by vertebrae in the spine being out of alignment. Why is this important?

How well you move is affected by the health of your musculoskeletal system, which consists of your skeleton and muscles. Other parts of the system are tendons, joints, cartilage, ligaments, and more connective tissue. When these components of your body aren't working optimally, you may experience pain, stiffness, or loss of range of motion.

How a Chiropractor Helps Musculoskeletal Health

Our chiropractor sometimes uses chiropractic adjustments to promote better alignment between your skeleton and muscles.  One technique he uses is spinal manipulation, which is commonly used to treat low back pain, herniated or slipped discs, and whiplash.

In practice, our doctor of chiropractic uses his hands or special instruments to gently realign your spine. As this is happening, you are sitting or lying in a comfortable position. This process may relieve pressure on your affected muscles, joints, ligaments, and tendons.

At Battle Creek Family Chiropractic, our practitioner may also employ chiropractic techniques to treat sports-related injuries, headaches (migraines), work-related injuries, sciatica, chronic pain, and slip-and-fall injuries.

Treatment in Addition to Chiropractic Adjustments

However, he is not limited to providing chiropractic adjustments alone. There are many other or additional treatments our chiropractor employs to provide pain relief. He may suggest massage therapy, home exercise, soft tissue rehab, or advise you about nutrition.

The use of chiropractic techniques allows for flexibility on the part of the patient. Many people who shy away from traditional medicine, partner exclusively with chiropractors for their health care. Other patients, who also use the services of traditional medical professionals, choose to visit a chiropractor because prescription drugs and surgery are not part of the treatment.

How to Find Pain Relief in MI

Our chiropractor knows that every patient is different. That's why he doesn't start any treatment before taking your medical history and giving you a physical exam.

After this, he is able to design a course of treatment to help give you some pain relief. When you're looking for a chiropractor in MI, call Battle Creek Family Chiropractic.
