Frequently Asked Questions About Advanced Chiropractic Clinic
Chiropractic and physiotherapy: complementary or not ?
Two different but complementary professions!
The physiotherapist specializes in functional rehabilitation and rehabilitation through massage and other appropriate means. The duration of studies is three years after the baccalaureate. The degree is recognized but does not include training in spinal manipulation or differential diagnosis. The physiotherapist is not a therapist of first intention, that is why you will need a prescription delivered by your doctor before any support.
The chiropractor is a first-line practitioner specializing in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment of mechanical pathologies of the neuro-musculoskeletal system and their consequences. The duration of studies is 6 years after the baccalaureate. The diploma is recognized. Its exercise is legalized and regulated.
At Advanced Chiropractic we pride ourselves in working with other health care practitioners to give you the best care.
What is the cracking ?
The chiropractic act, while impressing, is painless. A slight crackling sound, also called cavitation (video) that can sometimes appear during manipulation may surprise or cause a fear of pain, but, rest assured: It is actually only an air bubble created naturally in the joint during its tensioning, and exploding by a depressurization phenomenon at the moment of the impulse given by the chiropractor.
This is a normal physiological phenomenon and not painful, and occurring spontaneously every day (for example: crouching knees crouching): it is therefore not in any case a broken bone sound, unlike what could some beliefs suggest ?
Nevertheless, if the "crack" scares you all the same, do not hesitate to report it. We will find together a technique adapted to your case.
How many treatments will I need ?
Many patients experience considerable relief in just one session, however, more complex longer-standing conditions naturally require more care. The course of treatment is dependent on the nature of the injury, the extent of damage, the number of affected areas, and the individual's response to treatment. However, in most cases, we expect to see significant progress in the treatment (3-4 visits).
(Your treatment needs to be discussed individually and expected timeframe before any treatment begins.)
