What Do Chiropractors Do? A Simple Guide to Your Care
If you’ve never visited a clinic before, you might be wondering: what do chiropractors actually do? At Marlborough Chiropractor Clinic, we are primary healthcare professionals who specialise in the musculoskeletal system. We focus on how your bones, muscles, and joints—particularly those of the spine—affect your overall health and nervous system.
The 4 Pillars of Our Treatment
1. Diagnosis: We are trained to diagnose your condition. We look at your posture, joint range of motion, and neurological function to understand why you are in pain.
​
2. Spinal Manipulation (Adjustments): This is the core of chiropractic care. We use precise, controlled manual impulses to restore movement to restricted joints. This often results in a "pop" sound, which is simply gas bubbles being released from the joint fluid.
​
3. Soft Tissue Therapy: We don't just "crack backs." We use massage, trigger point therapy, and stretching to release tight muscles and improve circulation.
​
4. Rehabilitation: To ensure the pain doesn't return, we provide bespoke exercise plans and ergonomic advice tailored to your lifestyle.
Is it just for back pain?
No. While we are experts in spinal health, we also treat shoulders, knees, ankles, and even certain types of headaches. Our goal is to move you from pain relief to optimal performance.
