What Do Chiropractors Do? A Simple Guide From MyoDynamic Health
If you’ve ever wondered “What do chiropractors actually do?”, you’re not alone. Many people think chiropractic care is just about “cracking backs,” but it’s much more than that—especially at MyoDynamic Health.
Our chiropractors provide hands-on manual therapy, gentle joint adjustments, soft tissue treatment, and personalized exercises to help you move better, feel stronger, and heal faster.
What Do Chiropractors Actually Do?
1. They Find the Root Cause of Your Pain
During your first visit, your chiropractor will assess how you move, test muscles and joints, and identify what’s truly causing your discomfort. The goal is not just to reduce pain, but to fix the underlying issue.
2. They Provide Hands-On Manual Treatment
Our chiropractors use different techniques such as soft tissue therapy, myofascial release, and joint mobilizations to loosen tight areas, relieve pressure, and improve flexibility.
3. They Perform Adjustments (When Needed)
Adjustments help restore movement in stiff joints. They’re safe, effective, and only used when appropriate for your condition.
4. They Prescribe Rehab Exercises
With an on-site rehab gym, our chiropractors give specific exercises that build strength, improve posture, and prevent the injury from coming back.
5. They Treat More Than Just Back Pain
Chiropractors at MyoDynamic Health help with:
- Low back pain
- Sciatica
- Neck pain
- Headaches
- Hip, shoulder, and knee pain
