Physiotherapy is mainly used to treat problems of the musculoskeletal system, but can also be used to treat spinal problems, respiratory diseases and many other conditions. A Physiotherapist or Physical Therapist helps people who lost their motor functions due to illness, age or accidents, determines root cause of the trauma, counseling patients, creating a rehabilitation plan, creating plans like strength training, exercises, physical manipulation or stretching to help in easy recovery; educating patients on keeping them motivated during therapies and finally tracking the progress of patients. Physiotherapists consider the body as a whole, rather than just focusing on the individual aspects of an injury or illness.

Chiropractic is an art and a practice. The art is in the hands of the doctor of chiropractic. The practice is founded in the truths of physiology: the body is self-healing and self-regulating. It’s a medical reality that compression of a nerve deprives normal afferent and efferent nerve signals to and from the brain. The resulting realities are pain, numbness, weakness, organ, skin -conditions and many, many more. The advent of x-ray in the late 1800’s allowed the healer of the time to visually determine the area of distress. A doctor of chiropractic, to this day, utilizes x-ray and MRI imaging combined with what is detected using palpation and orthopedic testing. The doctors of chiropractic believe that providing adjustments to the vertebral bones of the spine can promote a normal communication to return the body to health naturally.

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medical practice that involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body. This holistic approach to healthcare has gained popularity in recent years for its ability to treat a wide range of health conditions, from chronic pain to anxiety and depression. Acupuncture is based on the principle that the body has energy pathways, or meridians, which can become blocked, causing illness or pain. By inserting needles into specific points on these meridians, acupuncturists can help restore the flow of energy and promote healing. One of the many benefits of acupuncture is its ability to treat chronic pain. Studies have shown that acupuncture can be effective in relieving pain associated with conditions like osteoarthritis, back pain, sleeping disorders and migraines. In addition, acupuncture can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression by promoting the release of endorphins, the body’s natural “feel-good” chemicals. Acupuncture is a safe and minimally invasive treatment that is suitable for people of all ages. During an acupuncture session, patients may feel a slight sensation as the needles are inserted, but there is typically no pain or discomfort. In conclusion, acupuncture is a holistic approach to healthcare that can help treat a wide range of health conditions, from chronic pain to anxiety and depression. If you’re looking for a safe and effective way to promote wellness and balance in your life, acupuncture may be worth exploring.
