Chiropractic Care Q&A

How does chiropractic care improve my health and well-being?

The team at Bayshore Medical Group includes board-certified chiropractors and licensed chiropractic assistants who work together as a team. Their overriding goal is to ensure each patient receives customized, one-on-one care and achieves the fullest recovery possible.

Chiropractors are known for focusing on misaligned spinal vertebrae. However, correcting spinal problems promotes well-being throughout your body by relieving pressure on nerves and blood vessels and restoring your body’s biomechanical balance.

Chiropractic care isn’t just for the spine. You can receive full body treatment, from head to toe, for conditions that cause pain in your joints, hands, and feet.

​

What conditions are treated with chiropractic care?

Chiropractors diagnose and treat a broad range of musculoskeletal and nervous system conditions, including:

• Headaches and migraines

• Bursitis

• Tendinitis

• Vertigo

• Scoliosis

• Arthritis

• Herniated disc

• Degenerative disc disease

• Sprains and strains

• Carpal tunnel syndrome

• Golfer’s and tennis elbow

• Plantar fasciitis

• Bone spurs

• Fibromyalgia

• Myofascial pain syndrome

Though this list is long, it’s far from inclusive. The team at Bayshore Medical Group provides chiropractic care for all of the conditions that arise from work, auto, sports, and everyday injuries.

​

Why should I consider preventive chiropractic care?

The team at Bayshore Medical Group does an exceptional job of treating injuries and degenerative conditions, but they’d rather help you prevent problems.

Routine chiropractic care keeps your body in proper alignment and operating at optimal strength. Additionally, chiropractors practice holistic care, helping you with posture and ergonomic problems, nutritional counseling, and at-home exercise regimens.

If you compete in sports, the team provides balance training and works with you to maximize your training regimen and improve performance.

​

What interventions might I receive during chiropractic care?

At Bayshore Medical Group, your chiropractor begins by reviewing your medical history, symptoms, and lifestyle habits. They perform a comprehensive physical exam and may order diagnostic imaging if needed.

After completing their diagnostic evaluation, your provider creates an individualized treatment plan that draws from many chiropractic techniques, including:

• Chiropractic manipulation and adjustments

• Gonstead Technique

• Activator Technique

• Palmer Package Technique

• Soft tissue and joint mobilization

• Cervical and lumbar traction

• Cox manual traction

• PNF stretching

• Muscle stretching techniques

• Neuromuscular re-education

• Myofascial release

• Trigger point therapy

• Strain-Counterstrain Technique

Many patients also receive therapeutic massage as part of their chiropractic care.
