Treatment can consist of a range of different techniques such as massage, manipulation and dry needling.Chiropractic care would be similar in regards to a case history, examination and treatment. However, depending on the chiropractor, a lot do not use soft tissue techniques and perhaps would not go into as much detail as we do for management. Their focus is to ‘realign’ the spine to have a positive effect on the nervous system. Decreasing pressure on nerves exiting the spine, therefore reducing sensitivity and pain.”}}]}[/tcb-script]
