The Benefits of Collaboration Between Medical Doctors and Chiropractors

Medical doctors and chiropractors both engage in the art of healing, but they perform their work in entirely different fashions. For example, a medical doctor uses medical science and training to diagnose and treat a condition. Chiropractic care uses physical manipulation and other natural treatment methods to improve the patient as a whole. At Zapor Chiropractic in Brighton, MI, our chiropractor works with medical doctors to help patients reduce their pain or discomfort and prevent it from reoccurring in the future. Here's how chiropractors and medical doctors can work together to offer their patients the best possible care.

The Differences Between Medical and Chiropractic Care

Medical care delivered by a physician consists of diagnosing a problem with a patient, then finding treatment options that help them feel better. These options can include anything from medication to surgery and physical therapy to aid the patient while recovering. In contrast, chiropractic care involves the use of physical manipulation to return a patient's body to its normal range of movement. Chiropractic treatment seeks to uncover the root cause of a physical issue, determine which structures are out of alignment and contributing to the pain, then use physical force to bring the body back into alignment with itself.

Another aspect of chiropractic care from our chiropractor in Brighton is the use of computer technology to help with healing. The chiropractor uses a computer system known as Pulstar FRAS that analyzes the spine, then identifies problem areas. It's also used in gentle manipulation to bring the spine back into its normal position and avoids the use of stronger techniques that cause popping and cracking in the joints. Chiropractic care is also non-invasive and drug-free.

Chiropractic Care Is Complimentary to Medical Care

Medical care can help the healing process for a wide range of musculoskeletal problems, but sometimes it's not able to go the final distance for helping the patient achieve complete relief. Physicians often work with chiropractors because they recognize the limits of their abilities to help a patient become whole again. The combination of medical care from a physician and chiropractic care can help a patient find optimal wellness and complete freedom from their pain. 

Physicians are the first port of call for medical issues, but many recognize the value of alternative therapies to help a patient on their wellness journey. That's why they send patients to chiropractors. Our chiropractor uses various techniques that stimulate the body into healing itself by releasing tension and restoring blood flow and mobility to the affected area.
