Plant and Rake without the Ache Part 5

How a Chiropractor Can Help

If, in spite of all precautions, you do experience back pain or a muscle strain that lasts for more than two or three days, consider visiting a chiropractor. Your chiropractor can help you get back to doing the things you enjoy, like gardening.

A chiropractor is a regulated, community-based, health care professional, who provides patient-centred, non-invasive, hands-on care. They’re experts in assessing, diagnosing and treating spine, muscle, joint and related nerve conditions/injuries, as well as helping prevent them. Treatment may include various therapies, such as spinal manipulation therapy (adjustment), therapeutic exercise, acupuncture, and lifestyle counselling, as appropriate to the diagnosis.
