Health Services - Chiropractor, Long Island NY:
Going to a chiropractor is an ever popular method
of dealing with back, neck and other musculoskeletal
pains. And, for those who want to use chiropractic
(the editor has himself with very good results),
the good news is that many insurance plans cover
chiropractic.
The theory of chiropractic is somewhat controversial
in the medical literature, although there are
many studies supporting the use of chiropractic
in the treatment of musculoskeletal pain. And
chiropractic has introduced more modern techniques
of evaluation such as back therapy. And, just
as there are physician assistants (PA’s), there
are now chiropractic assistants (CA’s). And, many
chiropractors are associated with massage therapists,
marvelous people who can also treat musculoskeletal
pain and relieve tension and stress.
Unlike the usual physician’s office in these days
of the fifteen minute visit, chiropractic offices
tend to be relaxing, with music, a staff that
is not as stressed and offer products that may
help their client – from proper shoes, to vitamins,
to mattresses and pillows.
In a well-thought out approach to health care,
chiropractic and its associated fields, can offer
unique benefits. You have to be the judge however.
And chiropractic is no substitute for getting
your appropriate medical screening tests – PSA,
Mammography, Pap Smear, Lipid values. However,
in areas such as lipid values, where chiropractic
may offer dietary advice, this may be of great
help.
Almost all chiropractors take a holistic approach
to patient care. They are best known for spinal
manipulation and other muscular-skeletal interventions
but many chiropractors will also integrate work
on diet, exercise and other lifestyle issues.
Environmental and social factors are also considered
in order to develop a comprehensive approach to
health and wellness. Specific diseases and disorders
are approached in the context of the patient's
total life situation.
