Does chiropractor treat joint pain apart from the spine?
Most people would have the impression that Chiropractors will only treat the spine. This is because many chiropractors in Singapore refer themselves only as spine specialist. Very often they refuse to treat any other joints of the musculoskeletal system in the body. It is sad to see this happening. After all, Chiropractors went through 5-6 years of intensive training in the science of diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal system.
We choose to look after individuals who have concern with their joint pain.
It is different here in Essential Chiropractic and Functional Medicine Centre. May it be knee pain, shoulder pain, or hip pain, we spend time to look after these problems. Joint mobilization, soft tissue therapy, and passive stretching therapy, trigger point therapy are some examples we would perform. Examples of condition we address are frozen shoulder, bursitis/tendinitis and/or other joints related issues.
One unique treatment that we do to successfully manage joint pain is through the use of an instrument – Vibracussor. As the name suggests, it is an instrument combining the movement of vibration and percussion that uses a piston-like up-and-down movement. Furthermore, it creates vibration waves through the tissues to affected muscles and fascia, to release the adhesion, relax tense muscles, improve circulation and lymph flow.
Therefore, it is excellent in treating myofascial trigger points, frozen shoulder, joint fixation (particularly elbow, shoulder, hand, knee, hip), muscle fatigue and tension. By relieving these problems, we are able to reduce musculoskeletal pain and improve their functionality. In addition, it also allows the patient to reduce or eliminate the need for pain medication. It is not just about treating your pain. Most of all, this gentle and non-invasive treatment also stimulates receptors in the muscles, tendons, and joints. Through this stimulation, it helps to provide better control over your postural balance and strength.
So, if you are looking for an alternative solution for your joints pain like frozen shoulder, seek no further. We provide you the most well-rounded Chiropractic care available in Singapore. Feel free to visit us from – https://essentialchiropractic.sg//contact-us/ to find out more.
