How does chiropractic care work? The many causes of joint dysfunction are multi-faceted. Mechanical causes are referred to as micro or macro trauma. Micro trauma can also be called repetitive stress injury. Sitting with poor posture at a desk and typing all day can cause problems such as carpal tunnel or neck, upper back or low back pain. Macro trauma refers to pain due to major trauma or impact to the body, such as a fall, a break or a car crash. Both forms of mechanical causes of joint dysfunction can benefit immensely from chiropractic care. Another cause of joint dysfunction is due to chemical effects on the body as a whole. Smoking, heavy drinking, and poor diet can create chemical imbalances in the body, resulting in joint dysfunction. The customized care you receive from your doctor of chiropractic may help to improve your posture, muscle balance and mobility. It can also restore the integrity of your nervous system and get rid of pain quickly, so you can get back to feeling betteer soon. |
