Chiropractic

Chiropractic is a healthcare profession that mainly focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. The nervous system is also an important consideration in chiropractic care as it is closely connected to the musculoskeletal system and can be affected by mechanical disturbances. Chiropractic treatment involves manual manipulation or adjustment of the spinal joints to restore proper function and alignment, which in turn may improve overall health and pain relief. These manipulations are carefully applied to targeted areas of the spine and other joints with the aim of relieving pain, improving joint mobility, and reducing muscle tension. Scientific research has shown that chiropractic care can be an effective treatment for a range of conditions such as neck and back pain, headaches, and some types of joint pain. Dr. Damir Simunac from Active Health Spine and Sport uses spinal manipulation, in addition to many other types of manual therapy in order to help his patients feel better and reach their goals.

Sports chiropractic is a specialized field within chiropractic medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of musculoskeletal injuries that are commonly associated with sports and physical activity. Sports chiropractors are experts in the biomechanics of the body, and use a combination of manual manipulation, soft tissue therapies, and exercise rehabilitation to help athletes optimize their performance and recover from injuries. Sports chiropractors work closely with athletes and coaches to provide comprehensive care and improve athletic performance. They use their knowledge of sports injury prevention and rehabilitation to help athletes recover from injuries and prevent future injuries from occurring. Overall, sports chiropractic is an important part of the sports medicine team, as it can help those who are physically active to achieve their goals and feel their best.
