Understanding the Pros of Chiropractic Care

So you’re looking into chiropractic care? Congratulations! We here at Minneapolis Health and Wellness, as Northeast’s first DMR clinic, commend you for taking a giant leap forward in terms of managing your pain. Rest assured you’ve made one of the wisest choices one could make in your shoes; chiropractic adjustment is an all-natural, scientifically proven method of pain management. You won’t regret your decision.

However, as a Minneapolis chiropractor, it’s our duty to inform you of everything you need to know before your first chiropractic appointment. We want all of our patients to fully understand what they’re getting into when it comes to visiting a chiropractor who practices the DMR method. Read on to discover everything you should be aware of about your incoming chiropractic visit.

Are There Downsides to All-Natural Pain Management?

Truth be told, not really! Chiropractic care has been used for centuries as a gentle, noninvasive approach to managing pain from any number of injuries or maladies. In fact, it’s even been proven useful for back pain, neck pain and headaches. There’s not much to say about the downsides of such a tried-and-true pain management technique, so we won’t waste our breaths.

That being said, please be aware of the following when you’re thinking of visiting your friendly neighborhood chiropractor:

Chiropractic care works best when practiced in harmony with the proper physical therapy.

While not all chiropractic care patients will find themselves in extensive need of physical therapy, those who do will strongly benefit from it. Physical therapy and chiropractic care both, in fact, work better when practiced in the proper order and at the right time in relation to one another. Luckily, Minneapolis Health and Wellness is equipped with the proper staff and knowledge base to attend to both your Minneapolis physical therapy and chiropractic care needs!

Not all chiropractors are trained in the scientifically-proven DMR method.

The DMR method is a specific course of evaluation and treatment based on years of clinical case study research. It suggests a framework for the practice of chiropractic, physical therapy, and massage techniques in harmony so as to better provide pain relief to the patient. Not all chiropractors are trained in this backed-by-evidence methodology, but luckily, ours are!

To be a chiropractor legally requires training and education.

A Minnesota statute declares that all chiropractors who operate in the state must hold the proper certification and education levels. Not just anyone can be a chiropractor. When you walk into a chiropractor’s office, you’ll be receiving the type of care that can only come from long hours of extensive training and study. In short, there’s no need to be nervous.
