Anyone of any age or gender can receive chiropractic care. From newborns to patients of advanced age, there are several techniques which can be used to treat specific groups of patients.

Like any therapeutic method, Chiropractic has indications and contraindications, and it will be up to a qualified chiropractor (Learn more here) to assess the patient’s condition in order to mitigate any risks during treatment. See details of each specialty below:

 

  • Gestational Chiropractic Care

    During pregnancy, a woman undergoes physical, hormonal and postural changes. As the baby develops inside the uterus, the spine undergoes structural modifications in order to prepare muscles and ligaments for delivery, and often the strain on these regions ends up generating pain and discomfort.

    Chiropractic care helps the pregnant woman to adapt to these changes by treating the pain and providing conditions for the body to be in balance for the baby’s arrival. Chiropractic adjustments also contribute to better labor as it helps the fetus to remain in the correct position for birth.

  • Pediatric Chiropractic Care

    Children benefit from chiropractic care before they even walk. The type of delivery and the positioning of the fetus in the uterus can cause the baby’s first strains and, as a result, changes in the communication of the central nervous system with the rest of the body. Symptoms such as reflux and colic may be related to these stresses.

    When they begin to walk, they will start having their falls, and even if they are asymptomatic, they can interfere with the correct positioning of the vertebrae, causing damages in the development of the child in the long term. It is during childhood (growth stage) that we create most of our posture habits and body memory. So, posture at school, backpack weight, and recreational practices will also directly influence spine health as adults.

    Chiropractic care also enhances the child’s immune potential, improves sleep and digestion, reduces headaches and earaches, and is considered a co-adjuvant in the treatment of asthma and scoliosis. Chiropractic care techniques are essential components for successful treatment, they are modified and adapted according to the age, size, weight and spinal maturity of the patients.

  • Geriatric Chiropractic Care

    Chiropractic care helps in the natural processes of aging and promotes postural rebalancing, generating better mobility, the body’s ability to sustain itself and consequently improving neurological functions, thus preventing falls and the use of medications.

    Among the main complaints in the elderly are neuro-musculoskeletal pains, such as back and joint pain, both due to reduced functions and flexibility in this age group.

  • Sports Chiropractic Care

    Chiropractic care in the sports field has the following proposal:

    – Minimize the effects of overloads caused by overtraining;

    – Preventing and correcting athletes’ posture and movement patterns;

    – Identify the areas that need greater support and stability;

    – Avoid pain and, consequently, improve the performance of the athlete, whether amateur or professional.

    Athletes who undergo chiropractic greatly reduce the recovery time of injuries, avoiding interruption in activities and loss of performance. The correction of the biomechanics of the spine causes a positive change in nerve function and tissue self-generation capacity.

  • Corporate Chiropractic Care

    Corporate Chiropractic care is a specialty developed for the various occupational activities, with emphasis on ergonomic relationships and their impacts on health.

    Musculoskeletal injuries affect thousands of workers and generate a high cost for employers. Back pain, for example, is considered a major complaint in the workplace. Employees who need to carry a lot of weight and those who spend hours in front of the computer in inadequate posture may have this kind of symptom. This condition increases the rate of presenteeism (problem related to discouragement and overwork at work) and affects the productivity of companies.

    The chiropractic care sessions contribute to the reduction of absenteeism and sinistrality, promoting the prevention of injuries and the improvement of the quality of life of the employees.
    Here are some of the benefits of chiropractic care at the corporate level:

    – Promotes increased productivity and well-being of employees;

    – Contributes to avoid ergonomic risks in the occupational environment;

    – Reduces the rate of absenteeism.

    – Prevents and treats injuries, whether through repeated effort (RSI), work-related osteoarticular diseases (DORS) or any other condition related to the neuro-mucoskeletal system. (Know more).

    – Decreases employee retirement for health reasons.
