What Does A Chiropractor Do?
Did you know that chiropractors are highly trained specialists and a vital part of the medical community? At Axis Health Center, our chiropractic team is skilled at guiding our patients using a variety of approaches to ensure your well-being!
Chiropractors are health care professionals that offer a hands-on, conservative approach to health, focusing on the body’s ability to heal itself. Chiropractic treatments typically involve manual therapy, including spinal manipulation, exercise instruction, and nutritional counselling.
Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system and the effects of these disorders on general health. Chiropractic services are used most often to treat nerves, muscles, and joints commonly called “neuromusculoskeletal” complaints, including but not limited to back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches.

Chiropractor For Back Pain
At Axis Health Center on 8th Street in Saskatoon, we embrace the knowledge that chiropractic care isn’t just about making the pain disappear; we believe in identifying the true underlying causes influencing your overall health and well-being.
Chiropractic care is about more than just treating pain. Our Chiropractor on 8th street looks beyond the pain to understand the true cause of the problem. Through objective testing and measuring the posture of the spine and assessing the spine nerves, we are able to find the cause of the problem.
Chiropractors professionally approach patient care, starting with a detailed health history, a comprehensive physical examination, and ordering any test necessary to develop a working diagnosis. Next, we create a treatment focusing on alleviating pain, restoring function, and preventing future problems from arising.
The manual treatment methods used by chiropractors range from stretching and sustained pressure to specific joint manipulations. Practitioners use their hands or devices to apply a quick and controlled thrust. The manipulations aim to improve joint motion, alleviate pain, and restore function. Manipulations are most commonly done on the spine, but other parts of the body may also be treated in this way.
We believe in providing natural solutions with every diagnosis so that you can restore and maintain your level of health. In addition to pain relief and improvements in joint mobility and function, chiropractic care may also help improve your overall health with the following benefits:
- Increase energy
- Decreases inflammation
- Immune booster
- Assist in a healthier pregnancy
- Lower blood pressure
- Improve posture of the spine
- Reduce nerve pressure in the spine
Chiropractic care has been shown to help improve lower back and neck pain, especially for acute pain episodes. In addition, research has shown chiropractic care help improve the following:
- Headaches: Spinal manipulation may effectively treat tension headaches, migraines, and headaches that originate in your neck.
- Reduces reliance on opioid pain relievers: Too often, people suffering from chronic pain are given opioids rather than identifying the root cause of their pain. Chronic pain sufferers who attended chiropractic care had less pain and used fewer medications for relief.
- Scoliosis: Chiropractic care may help improve the Cobb angle (i.e., side-to-side deformity) in children with scoliosis.
- Posture: Research has shown that chiropractic treatments may help correct poor posture. Your spine will lose it’s proper posture from too much sitting, or screen time. This causes pain, stiffness and could damage the spine in the long run. When chiropractors adjust the spine the goal is to improve the posture.
- Athletic performance: Spinal adjustments may improve your athletic performance by improving joint mobility, reducing pain, and increasing strength.
Chiropractic treatment is often a cheaper alternative to conventional medical treatments for spinal disorders, and studies have reported high levels of satisfaction with chiropractic treatment. The bottom line is, at Axis Health Center, our chiropractors are dedicated to providing the most effective treatment techniques to help you get back to living the life you want!
We understand that even if our patients might be diagnosed with the same condition, that doesn’t mean they will respond to the same treatment. For this reason alone, we believe in tailoring our programs, so they meet all of your needs, your goals, and your medical requirements.
Finding a chiropractor who understands the ever-growing industry of health care will provide you with the proper techniques and understanding and help you find security and comfort in all of our treatment options.
