Both physiotherapy and chiropractic care focus on improving joint health issues without the use of surgery, invasive procedures, or drug therapy. They share an appreciation for the body’s innate healing abilities and a belief that finding a natural, body-based solution is the preferred option in most cases.
Chiropractic care is centered on addressing misalignments in your spine. Practitioners understand that when your spine is not properly aligned, undue pressure is placed on your spinal cord, nerves, and muscles. Inflammation can follow, which creates a cascade of negative effects.
Physiotherapy, also called physical therapy, takes a somewhat broader view. Physiotherapy looks to relieve joint pain and other symptoms by engaging various parts of your body, including your spine, muscle tissue, and fascia.
