What does spinal care involve?

The Illinois Spinal Care team offers various spinal care therapies, including:

Chiropractic care

Chiropractic care is a type of functional medicine designed to ease musculoskeletal pain.

During treatment, your chiropractor uses their hands or special tools to manipulate your vertebra, joints, and intervertebral discs. Treatment improves your musculoskeletal alignment, increases circulation, and complements your body’s natural healing process.

Spinal decompression therapy

This type of spinal care uses a motorized table to gently stretch your spine and surrounding tissues.

Before treatment, your chiropractor has you wear a special harness around your torso. Then, they ask you to lie face down or face up on the decompression table.

Once you’re in position, your chiropractor uses a computer controller to change the table’s position. Each new position gently stretches your spine, relieving pain while promoting healing.

Therapeutic massage therapy

During therapeutic massage, your Illinois Spinal Care provider uses their hands, fingers, and elbows to rub your skin, knead your muscles, and apply direct pressure to your fascia –– a band of soft connective tissue beneath your skin.

Massage eases tension, increases circulation, and promotes recovery after injury or exertion. It’s completely noninvasive and provides instant relief.

Physical therapy

This type of spinal care combines stretches and strengthening exercises to speed up your body’s healing process. Your chiropractor might suggest physical therapy if you run, play sports, or are recovering from an auto accident injury.

What type of spinal care will benefit me?

Only a qualified chiropractor can determine the type of spinal care that will most benefit you. After a physical exam, a discussion of your symptoms, and X-rays, your Illinois Spinal Care provider makes personalized treatment recommendations. Treatment often involves a combination of chiropractic care, massage therapy, and spinal traction therapy.
