Chiropractic Treatment

Chiropractic treatment covers a wide variety of services to help patients who suffer from any form of pain or have been injured.

Saskatoon chiropractors may use a variety of techniques to perform adjustments, including manual manipulation, instrument-assisted manipulation, and gentle mobilization. The goal of these techniques is to restore proper joint function, reduce pain and inflammation, and improve overall health and wellness.

At E3 Chiropractic + Wellness, our Saskatoon Chiropractors are trained in many different treatment techniques to address various injuries. This includes chiropractic adjustment, soft tissue (muscle) work, and personalized physical rehabilitation plans. We are specialists in conservative management of all injuries. Our office provides a natural alternative to recovery that is centered around movement, exercise, and hands-on therapy instead of surgical interventions or medications.

 

The Chiropractic Adjustment or Manipulation

The chiropractic adjustment refers to a technique that is designed to put movement in a joint that is fixated. The doctor uses this to help restore normal function and motion in a joint.

Generally, this technique employs gentle pressure or a shallow thrust to restore optimal motion. An adjustment is sometimes accompanied by a popping noise, which is the result of a bubble forming within the fluid of the joint. 

How does a chiropractic adjustment help me?

Some of the potential benefits of chiropractic adjustment include:

  1. Pain relief: Chiropractic adjustment can help alleviate pain and discomfort associated with a variety of conditions, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, and sciatica.

  2. Improved range of motion: A chiropractic adjustment can improve your range of motion and help you move more freely.

  3. Better posture: Poor posture can contribute to a variety of health problems, including back and neck pain. Chiropractic adjustment can help correct postural imbalances and improve your overall posture.

  4. Enhanced athletic performance: Chiropractic adjustment can help athletes improve their flexibility, range of motion, and overall performance by reducing muscle tension and promoting proper joint motion.

  5. Improved overall health and wellness: Chiropractic adjustment is a holistic approach to healthcare that can help improve your overall health and wellness by promoting proper mobility, reducing inflammation, and improving function throughout your body.

When should you seek care from an E3 Chiropractor?

If you have been suffering from pain of any kind, E3 is a great place to begin your journey to recovery.

At E3, every patient receives a thorough examination to determine the root cause of their pain. Due to our extensive examination process, we are able to help patients diagnose and address a wide variety of complaints. Many patients present after sustaining injuries from working out, participating in sports, or as the result of a car accident. Additionally, we are experts in treating pain that stems from less obvious sources such as postural disorders, poor workplace ergonomics, and others.

Each case is different. Everyone who receives care at E3 Chiropractic + Wellness is put on a personalized treatment plan that is designed to maximize their recovery and help them return to what they love doing most. Treatment plans are created by utilizing a combination of the following tools: soft tissue treatment, specific injury-related rehab exercises, and chiropractic adjustment.

What can you expect at your first E3 Chiropractic appointment?

If you have never been to a Chiropractor, you may not know what to expect during your first visit.

At your first appointment, you will be brought into a treatment room and greeted by one of our doctors. We begin every new patient exam with an in-depth health history to establish a clear understanding of any medical events that could be contributing to your chief complaint or a contraindication to your care.

We then perform a detailed history specific to the chief complaint that brought you into the office. At this time, you can provide us with any additional information or medical studies that may be pertinent to your case such as radiology reports or diagnostic imaging. Once we have a thorough understanding of what you are dealing with, we will help establish goals for your recovery. At E3, not only do we want to help you get out of pain, but we also want to help you achieve any goals you may have.

After completing your thorough history, we will take you through a series of neurological, orthopedic, and functional movement tests to help us determine what treatment will yield the best results for your individual case.

Based on the results of the examination, the doctor will create a report of their findings for discussion. Our recommended treatment tools will then be explained and performed. Once treatment is complete, the doctor will discuss the projected timeline for recovery, expected progressions, and when you should schedule your next appointment.

Our flexible appointment times are designed to accommodate your busy schedule. We encourage patients to schedule 2-3 appointments to get their preferred appointment times.
