Knowing your treatment options for your health condition(s) is your patient’s right. As a patient, you are entitled to receive information regarding:

-The possible cause(s) of your health condition(s).

-The treatment option(s)

-The benefits of care.

-The risks of not receiving care.

-The long-term consequences of delaying care.

Some of the common treatment options for neck, back, and/or joint health conditions include, but are not limited to, the following:

-Chiropractic care (e.g., chiropractic adjustment)

-Physical therapy

-Massage Therapy

-Acupuncture

-Medication (e.g., over-the-counter, prescribed)

-Corticosteroid injections

Although healthcare professionals make recommendations for treatment based on their clinical experience, education, and knowledge of the patient, it is ultimately the patient’s decision on what type of care they receive. It’s your choice… poor health vs. good health. When it comes to soft tissue injuries, chiropractors provide a different approach to treating these conditions. Chiropractors offer a non-invasive, non-surgical, and drug-free approach to treating musculoskeletal conditions, this includes spinal adjustments. A chiropractor may also use therapeutic procedures, such as heat packs, ice packs, electrotherapy, and soft tissue therapy, to aid the healing process.
