The chiropractic adjustment method is not aggressive, unlike other spinal manipulation techniques. The patient only recently felt slight pressure and crackling, which is why the care is said to be gentle and reassuring. Moreover, the treatment does not require any medication or surgery.

It is based on preventing, diagnosing, and treating musculoskeletal and nervous disorders. Depending on the applied technique, memory disorders and learning difficulties decrease. Also, nervousness, arthritis, and the carpal tunnel will be significantly reduced. Thus, many ailments and diseases can be prevented through chiropractic.

Chiropractic with massage promotes better functioning of the human body’s capacities, such as the movement of the joints of the upper and lower limbs. In addition, muscles are better controlled, and daily posture is improved. Chiropractic is beneficial for the management of sensory information and the regulation of organic functions.

Physiotherapy refers to a discipline whose objective is to improve health and restore people’s motor skills by using natural agents without drugs. This discipline is relatively recent since it appeared at the beginning of the 20th century, even if the benefits of elements such as cold, water, or heat have been empirically known since the dawn of time.

  • Heat (thermotherapy)
  • Cold (cryotherapy)
  • Water (hydrotherapy)
  • Electric currents (electrotherapy)

What are the main indications for physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy in its various forms is very commonly used in physiotherapy. Physiotherapy mainly pursues an analgesic goal: that is, it makes it possible to reduce pain and other common symptoms such as swelling or stiffness. It often occurs in addition to other medical, orthopedic, or physiotherapy treatments. The most common indications for physiotherapy are:

  • Injuries and pain of the musculoskeletal system (sports injuries, sprains, muscle tears, joint stiffness, etc.)
  • Chronic pain
  • Disorders of the blood or lymphatic circulation
  • Cardio-respiratory diseases (bronchitis, asthma, etc.)
  • Physical disabilities and pain caused by neurological disorders (stroke, hemiplegia, multiple sclerosis, etc.)
  • Physiotherapy, like Massage therapy and physiotherapy, is aimed at everyone: amateur and professional athletes, the elderly, pregnant women, and children. Finally, some techniques are also used for aesthetic purposes, such as fighting against cellulite.

How are the sessions going?
The course of each session and the treatment as a whole will depend on your reason for consultation. In general, physiotherapy techniques are part of a complete rehabilitation program, which combines other physiotherapy methods: massages, active and passive mobilizations, stretching, various exercises, etc.

For example, the physiotherapist may use analgesic electrotherapy to treat acute or chronic back pain; as its name suggests, this technique reduces joint and muscle pain, thanks to electrodes applied to the skin. But this is only one part of the treatment, which can only be completed by combining other methods: particularly for back pain, massages, stretching, tension release techniques, and muscle strengthening exercises.

In any case, the content of your rehabilitation program is targeted, which is why the treatment always begins with a certain number of tests and questions, allowing the physiotherapist to understand your problem and choose the most appropriate techniques.

In practice, the various physiotherapy techniques are generally implemented with specific equipment and devices: electro-stimulators, compressed air or liquid nitrogen machines, radial shock wave devices, etc. Chiropractic with massage is configured according to each person and their needs.
