At Guedea Chiropractic, in San Pedro, CA, we offer treatment for both acute injuries and chronic conditions. We use natural remedies that promote healing rather than just masking your pain and discomfort.
How You Can Benefit From Chiropractic Care
Instead of a pain medication that just covers up the pain, chiropractic care gets to the root of the problem and corrects it. Some pain medications come with nasty side effects that can be worse than the original problem. Also, with chiropractic care, you don't have to undergo an invasive procedure like surgery to correct the problem. Chiropractic treatments focus on targeting the problem in a manner that doesn't require any recovery period. With no downtime, you can go back to doing the activities that you love without dealing with pain.
The Treatments Used in Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care often includes chiropractic alignments, which involves our chiropractor manually moving the vertebrae in your back, so they line up properly. When your spine is in alignment, it reduces the pressure on your nerves and soft tissues, which can relieve your pain. Also, with a chiropractic alignment, our chiropractor is encouraging blood flow to the area, which will promote healing.
Our chiropractor may recommend exercise therapy. This therapy involves our chiropractor guiding you through exercises to stretch different parts of your body slowly. You will regain strength, function, and flexion in those areas. The movement can also stimulate blood flow, which will encourage the healing process.
In some cases, our chiropractor will recommend massage therapy. This treatment is usually used as a complementary treatment. It eases sore muscles and stimulates blood flow. We will also recommend at-home exercises and lifestyle changes to reduce your pain and boost your immune system.
Conditions Treated With Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care is also beneficial if you have a chronic condition like multiple sclerosis (MS), fibromyalgia, or arthritis. We treat conditions and injuries, such as the following:
- Tendonitis
- Bursitis
- Spondylosis
- Herniated discs
- Bulging discs
- Poor posture
- Scoliosis
While many of our treatments focus on your back and spine, our chiropractor can help with any of your musculoskeletal pain too. We will perform a thorough examination and develop a treatment plan designed to meet your health goals.
