Physiotherapy and Chiropractic treatments are significantly different. All individuals are different and therefore require varied treatment for each case. Some people prefer to use chiropractic methods where as others prefer Physio, but both have their health benefits.
Physiotherapists are highly focused on joints and muscles and how to
better manage these to work together; they are often referred to as ‘Movement Experts’.
Physiotherapists are advanced in their knowledge on how the human body moves, building
and maintaining strength and rehabilitation from injury or pain. Methods
include muscle manipulation, massage and acupuncture, hydrotherapy, reformer Pilates
and also individualised exercise prescription to relieve and prevent pain. Significantly. Physiotherapists base most of their treatment plans on proven evidence based research. They use a variety of literature reviews and studies to channel their diagnostic and treatment techniques.
Chiropractors are focused on the structure of the body and disorders of
the musculoskeletal system and how it interacts to restore itself from injury. They
are commonly known for treating complaints such as back pain, neck pain and
headaches and mainly focus on realignment of the spine.
So both Physiotherapy and Chiropractic treatments vary quite a lot. Both
methods can be used together but we strongly recommend that if both practitioners
are being utilised that you communicate this to receive the best possible
results when receiving your treatments.
