ChiroPro Chiropractic Glen Carbon, IL

Someone who has never been to a chiropractor might wonder what one does. Chiropractors are practitioners of alternative medicine designed to treat ailments that affect the musculoskeletal system without medication. Treatment can take many forms, but the most common option is spinal manipulation or spinal adjustment.

During chiropractic treatment, our skilled specialist applies a measured amount of force to a part of the body. This force causes a joint to release built-up gas and tension, alleviating pain and allowing for a greater range of motion or flexibility.

When you visit ChiroPro in Glen Carbon, IL, you can receive a spinal adjustment along with a broad range of other services. Our current offerings include the following:

Who Can Receive Chiropractic Care?

The mission of chiropractic care is to help individuals who cannot pursue traditional routes of pain alleviation and management like medication or surgery. As such, ChiroPro strives to help as many people as possible, including pregnant women and infants.

Each of our patient’s care is customized to suit individual needs and health. The ultimate goal is to improve overall health and wellness through consistent, reliable treatment, which reduces pain and stress.

What is the Musculoskeletal System?

The musculoskeletal system is responsible for keeping you upright and allowing you to move and function. It provides form and stability, and it consists of a person’s muscles, cartilage, ligaments, bones, joints, tendons, and other connective tissues.

This is one of the most significant systems in the body, but also one that causes the most pain because of how often it is used. It is easy to tear a muscle, sprain a joint, or otherwise experience pain and discomfort through overexertion.

Before every adjustment, our specialist at ChiroPro will evaluate your current health and wellness and determine if there are underlying circumstances that could be causing your discomfort. In addition to the basic adjustment, they might also recommend physiotherapy or simple exercises to improve muscle strength.
