Why Should I See A Chiropractor?

Have you ever hurt your [insert body part here] and felt unsure on what to do or who to ask for help when things aren’t getting better on their own? Asking Dr. Youtube can create even more confusion as to what is actually going on and may result in an improper diagnosis and mis-management of that issue resulting in more problems down the road.

When you’re unsure on what to do next, it’s always a good idea to ask a professional for help. But when should you call the Chiropractor?

Chiropractors specialize in the diagnose and treatment of joint, muscle and nervous system injuries. Chiropractic treatment can help improve joint mobility, decrease muscle tension, improve performance and relieve pain. We can also help you rehabilitate your current injury and educate you on how to prevent it from coming back.

A common misconception is that Chiropractors only treat pain. Pain may be a common reason people come see us, but it is not the only reason. We can also help patients with preventative care to create self-management strategies around previous injuries, health conditions, or work related tasks. Other patients may not have any acute pain but notice limitations in their performance related to their sport, job, or hobbies which they would like to improve upon.

At Second Summit, we provide a detailed health history and physical examination to properly evaluate what is going on and create a treatment plan based on our findings. Our Chiropractors use a variety of treatment options to help our patients; including manual therapy, joint manipulation, corrective/rehabilitative exercise, training guidance/programming, lifestyle modifications, and movement coaching to name a few. We take an individualized approach to care with each patient and cater treatment around their specific goals. You won’t find any cookie cutter approaches here.

Our Chiropractors also have a network of allied health care providers such as physiotherapists, RMTs, and naturopaths to help you reach your goals. If we feel that you would benefit from additional support from one of these providers, we can help make that referral and introduction for you.

So instead of seeing Dr. Google next time something doesn’t feel right, give Second Summit a call instead.
