Different ailments require different treatments. Different treatments are administered by different kinds of professionals. You wouldn’t go to a neurologist to treat heart disease, after all.  Most people aren’t aware that in some cases, it’s a better idea to visit a chiropractor than a doctor.

While a doctor might be able to prescribe medications or even suggest surgeries, a chiropractor will be able to address a problem in a non-invasive way.  We at Family Chiropractic & Wellness have put together a small guide that will help you decide when to visit a chiropractor.

Persistent Headaches
If you experience persistent headaches that require you to pop a painkiller too often to keep it at bay, you might want to visit a chiropractor. Headaches can be caused due to stiffness in the neck and shoulders. It can also be caused due to bad blood circulation.

Chiropractic treatments can address the root cause of your headaches and clear it in a matter of weeks. Of course, not all patients will see the same results from chiropractic treatments but research has shown that they are effective against headaches in most cases.

Back Pain

Chiropractors are known for treating back pain. They deal with all kind of spinal and muscular problems to back pain. If you’ve suffered from a recent back injury or are experiencing pain because of bad posture, you should contact a chiropractor. They might be able to help you eliminate back pain and offer advice on how to prevent it from recurring. In such cases, it’s a better idea to visit a chiropractor instead of a doctor.

A doctor will focus on treating a particular problem but a chiropractor will try to cover all bases. For example, if you’re experiencing stiffness in your muscles, a chiropractor will not just examine the affected area, they will also ask questions about your lifestyle and habits and offer suggestions accordingly
