What Is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic care is a conservative approach to evaluating and treating certain conditions involving the spine, joints, muscles, and other parts of the musculoskeletal system.

Chiropractors use hands-on and instrument-assisted techniques to address joint mobility and musculoskeletal function.

At Xcell Medical Group, chiropractic treatment is individualized. The technique and treatment plan recommended for you depend on your condition, health history, examination findings, comfort level, and treatment goals.

What Conditions Do Chiropractors Treat?

Patients seek chiropractic care for many different musculoskeletal conditions and injuries.

Depending on the diagnosis, chiropractic care at Xcell Medical Group may be appropriate for patients experiencing:

Because similar symptoms can have different causes, your provider will evaluate your condition before determining whether chiropractic treatment is appropriate.

Chiropractic Care for Back Pain

Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care.

Back pain can develop from many different causes, including muscle and ligament injuries, joint problems, disc conditions, repetitive stress, degenerative changes, workplace injuries, and car accidents.

Depending on the cause of your symptoms, chiropractic treatment may be incorporated into a broader plan that also includes physical rehabilitation, therapeutic exercise, and other conservative care.

Persistent back pain, particularly when accompanied by numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain traveling into the leg, should be properly evaluated.

Chiropractic Care for Neck Pain

Neck pain and stiffness may be associated with muscles, joints, posture, repetitive activities, injuries, or other conditions affecting the cervical spine and surrounding structures.

Chiropractic care may be appropriate for certain musculoskeletal causes of neck pain.

At Xcell Medical Group, we evaluate your symptoms and neck function before recommending treatment. When appropriate, rehabilitation and therapeutic exercise may also be incorporated to address strength, mobility, and function.

Chiropractic Care for Sciatica

Sciatica describes symptoms associated with irritation or compression involving the sciatic nerve.

Symptoms may include:

Lower back pain
Buttock pain
Shooting or burning leg pain
Numbness
Tingling
Weakness

A herniated disc is one possible cause, but other conditions can produce similar symptoms.

For certain patients, conservative care may incorporate chiropractic treatment and physical rehabilitation. The appropriate approach depends on what is causing the symptoms.

Chiropractic Care After a Car Accident

Motor vehicle collisions can place significant forces on the spine, muscles, joints, and other tissues.

After an accident, patients may experience:

Neck pain
Back pain
Headaches
Stiffness
Reduced range of motion
Shoulder pain
Hip pain
Muscle soreness
Numbness or tingling

Depending on your injuries, your treatment plan may combine chiropractic care with physical rehabilitation, diagnostic evaluation, therapeutic exercise, and other appropriate services.

Chiropractic Care for Work-Related Injuries

Work-related injuries can occur suddenly or develop gradually because of repetitive job activities.

Lifting, bending, twisting, prolonged standing, repetitive movement, and workplace accidents can contribute to back, neck, joint, muscle, and other musculoskeletal conditions.

Xcell Medical Group provides chiropractic and rehabilitation services for appropriate work-related injuries in Lorain County and is an Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) certified provider.

Chiropractic Techniques Available at Xcell Medical Group

There isn’t one chiropractic technique that’s right for every patient.

Xcell Medical Group offers several chiropractic techniques, allowing our chiropractors to select an approach based on the patient’s condition, examination findings, treatment goals, and individual needs.

Diversified Technique

Diversified Technique is a commonly used hands-on chiropractic technique.

It involves manual adjustments directed at specific joints to address joint mobility and musculoskeletal function.

Your chiropractor will determine whether Diversified Technique is appropriate based on your condition and examination.

Torque Release Technique

Torque Release Technique is an instrument-assisted chiropractic method that uses a handheld adjusting instrument to deliver targeted impulses to specific areas.

The technique provides chiropractors with another option for patients whose treatment needs may differ from those receiving traditional manual adjustments.

Your chiropractor can determine whether Torque Release Technique is appropriate for you.

Activator Method

The Activator Method uses a small handheld instrument to deliver a controlled, targeted chiropractic adjustment.

Because it is instrument-assisted rather than relying solely on a traditional manual adjustment, it provides another treatment option that may be selected according to a patient’s individual needs.

Thompson Technique

The Thompson Technique uses a specialized chiropractic table with sections designed to move slightly during an adjustment.

This technique allows chiropractors to use a different approach to joint adjustment depending on the patient’s condition and treatment needs.

Spinal Decompression

Spinal decompression is a non-surgical treatment that may be considered for certain patients with back, neck, or disc-related conditions.

Whether spinal decompression is appropriate depends on the patient’s diagnosis, symptoms, health history, and examination findings.

An evaluation is necessary before recommending decompression treatment.

Chiropractic Care & Physical Rehabilitation

Chiropractic care doesn’t have to be provided in isolation.

At Xcell Medical Group, chiropractic treatment may be combined with medically directed physical rehabilitation when appropriate.

Physical rehabilitation may focus on:

Strength
Flexibility
Range of motion
Mobility
Balance
Joint stability
Functional movement

Combining appropriate chiropractic care with active rehabilitation allows treatment to address both joint function and the strength and mobility needed for everyday activities.

What Happens During a Chiropractic Evaluation?

Your first visit begins with learning more about your symptoms, health history, previous injuries, and treatment goals.

Depending on your condition, your chiropractic examination may assess:

Range of motion
Posture
Joint function
Strength
Flexibility
Areas of pain or tenderness
Orthopedic findings
Neurological findings
Functional movement

When medically appropriate, in-office X-rays may also be recommended.

Your Report of Findings and treatment recommendations are typically discussed during your second appointment, after your provider has reviewed the information gathered during your initial visit.

This allows your provider to explain the findings and discuss which treatment options may be appropriate for you.

Do I Need X-Rays Before Chiropractic Treatment?

Not every chiropractic patient needs an X-ray.

Whether imaging is appropriate depends on factors such as your symptoms, medical history, injury history, age, examination findings, and suspected condition.

Xcell Medical Group has in-office X-ray capabilities in Elyria when diagnostic imaging is medically appropriate.

If more advanced imaging such as an MRI or CT scan is needed, your provider may refer you to an outside imaging facility.
