Physical Therapy & Chiropractic Care

Published April 8th, 2025 by Dr. Markson

When it comes to treating pain, restoring mobility, and improving overall function, both physical therapy and chiropractic care offer incredible benefits. But did you know that combining the two can create an even more powerful treatment plan? If you’ve been struggling with chronic painrecovering from an injury, or looking to improve your flexibility and mobility, here’s why a dual approach that includes chiropractic adjustments and physical therapy can be the key to your long-term health and wellness.

The Benefits of Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care focuses on aligning the spine and musculoskeletal system to ensure proper function and reduce pain. By making precise adjustments, chiropractors help restore mobility, improve nervous system function, and relieve tension in the body. Some of the key benefits of chiropractic care include:

  • Pain relief: Spinal adjustments and other chiropractic techniques help alleviate back pain, neck pain, joint pain, and headaches without the need for medication.
  • Improved mobility: Misalignments in the spine can lead to stiffness and restricted movement. Chiropractic adjustments restore flexibility and improve your overall range of motion.
  • Nervous system support: Since the spine houses the nervous system, proper alignment helps ensure that the body’s communication pathways remain open, leading to better overall function and wellness.

The Benefits of Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is designed to improve strength, flexibility, and endurance through targeted exercises and treatments. Whether recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or improving movement patterns, physical therapy helps patients regain function and prevent further issues. Some benefits of physical therapy include:

  • Rehabilitation after injury: Physical therapy plays a crucial role in recovering from sports injuries, surgeries, and accidents.
  • Strength and stability: Strengthening exercises help stabilize joints and muscles, reducing the risk of future injuries.
  • Customized exercise programs: A physical therapist creates a tailored plan to address specific mobility limitations and pain points.

Why Combining Chiropractic & Physical Therapy Works

While both physical therapy and chiropractic care are effective on their own, combining them amplifies the benefits. Chiropractic adjustments ensure that the body is properly aligned, allowing the muscles and joints to function optimally. Physical therapy then builds on that foundation, strengthening muscles, improving flexibility, and reinforcing proper movement patterns.

By integrating both treatments, patients experience faster recovery, long-term pain relief, better posture and mobility, and more!
