Chiropractors are best known for manual treatments such as spinal manipulation, where they use their hands to free stiff or restricted joints, or mobilisation, which is the gradual moving of joints.
But they may also use other techniques such as certain types of acupuncture, Class 4 Laser therapy, stretching exercises and rehabilitation, all of which form part of a chiropractor’s package of care. Your chiropractor may also offer lifestyle advice to help prevent repeated episodes of neck pain.
If your chiropractor does not think you can be helped by chiropractic treatment, you may be referred back to your GP or to another health professional. Chiropractors do not prescribe medication, so if this is needed, you may be referred back to your GP. As chiropractors support a joined-up approach to care, they may ask if they can send a brief report to your GP.

Traditional acupuncture is a healthcare system based on ancient principles. It has a very positive model of good health and function, and looks at pain and illness as signs that the body is out of balance. The overall aim of acupuncture treatment, then, is to restore the body’s equilibrium. (According to the British Acupuncture Council) www.acupuncture.org.uk
Elevating the health and wellness of the community is a primary mission of the Chiropractic profession. Practitioners pursuing patient centered, evidence based care should consider Laser Therapy as a proven, non-invasive choice for addressing pain.
Class 4 Laser Therapy, via photobiomodulation, has been shown in multiple studies to quickly reduce pain and help injured tissue move through the stages of healing by stimulating mitochondrial activity. This powerful tool can be used within a comprehensive plan of care to help treat many diagnoses common to Chiropractic clinics.
Laser therapy has been shown to be effective to help treat acute conditions. Bringing pain under control quickly, helping the healing process, and usually helps promote better outcomes.
With Chronic conditions, research has shown, that Therapy Lasers can be used to help combat to help persistent pain and promote circulation to damaged tissues. It can be a powerful, non-pharmaceutical solution to help reduce pain without the side effects of medication.
Light Force Therapy Lasers can be found on the sidelines of many pro, college and Olympic sports teams across the United States and many parts of Europe and Asia.
