What chiropractic rehab is
Chiropractic rehab combines hands-on care with exercise. Adjustments and soft tissue work ease pain and get stiff joints moving. Rehab exercises and neuromuscular re-education then rebuild the strength, flexibility and control around the injured area, so you move well on your own between visits and after care ends.
Who it helps
- Sports injuries: sprains, strains, tendonitis and overuse injuries. See sports chiropractic.
- Car accident injuries: whiplash and back injuries once the acute pain settles. See auto accident care.
- Back and neck pain that keeps returning, including low back pain and sciatica
- Desk-job and posture strain. See posture and desk-job pain.
- Stiff, achy joints in the hips, knees and shoulders. See joint pain.
How a rehab plan works
Your first visit is about 45 minutes. Dr. Toth asks how the injury happened and what you need to get back to, whether that’s a sport, a job or picking up your kids. He examines the injured area and the joints above and below it, watches how you move, and orders imaging only when your exam shows it’s needed.
- Calm it down: gentle adjustments, manual therapy, cold laser or electrical muscle stimulation to ease pain and swelling.
- Restore movement: joint mobility work and stretches as the area tolerates them.
- Rebuild strength and control: progressive rehab exercises and neuromuscular re-education in the office.
- Take it home: a short home program so you keep improving between visits.
Chiropractic rehab or physical therapy?
They overlap, and both use exercise. Chiropractic rehab adds spinal and joint adjustments, which helps when stiff joints are part of the problem. After surgery, or for injuries that need a long supervised program, Dr. Toth will tell you if a physical therapist or another specialist is a better fit and refer you. Our post on choosing between a chiropractor and a physical therapist explains the difference.
MedlinePlus has a good general overview of rehabilitation.
A suspected concussion, a possible fracture or a joint that looks out of place needs urgent medical care first. If you have sudden numbness or weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, chest pain, or a serious injury, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
