What Is a Chiropractor?
A chiropractor is a medical provider who focuses on and treats neuromuscular disorders. These skilled professionals are trained in the manipulation of the spine and manual adjustments. They address problems with the neuromuscular system, including the bones, nerves, ligaments, muscles, and tendons.
To help patients with pain, a chiropractor will perform diagnostic exams to see where the problem lies. These might include physical exams and X-rays. Once the chiropractor knows the cause of the problem, they can put together a treatment plan.
Chiropractors do not prescribe medications. Instead, they find ways to help the body heal itself. Spinal manipulation is the preferred treatment. In addition, hot and cold treatments, as well as lifestyle changes, can provide relief.
Southern California Medical Center offers comprehensive medical care to patients in Pomona, Long Beach, El Monte, Pico Rivera, Van Nuys, Woodland Hills, and surrounding areas.
Living with pain and mobility issues because of neuromuscular problems can be frustrating. It can make life more difficult.
However, paying for chiropractic services is not always an option for those with no health insurance. Our clinic accepts Medi-Cal, and we also offer help to the most vulnerable at no cost.
We offer services for the treatment of:
- Back pain
- Shoulder and elbow pain
- Muscle and joint pain
- Injuries
- Migraines
- Sciatica
Sciatica is pain or numbness that travels along the sciatic nerve. This nerve traces a path from the back through the hips and buttocks and down to the legs. You might suffer from sciatica when you have a herniated or bulging disc that presses on a nerve.
A migraine is a moderate to severe headache. It can make you feel throbbing pain, nausea, and many other symptoms. Migraines are neurological conditions that can benefit from chiropractic care. This is especially true for patients with chronic migraines.
Our low-cost chiropractors often turn to spinal manipulation. Spinal manipulation is a treatment in which experts apply a controlled level of pressure to a spinal joint. It requires special training to perform.
Spinal manipulation can offer relief from many neuromuscular issues that affect patients. It can be very effective when treating back pain, headaches, migraines, neck pain, sciatica, and more.
At our community-based, low-cost clinics, we offer services that go beyond chiropractic care. We also provide mental health care, pregnancy care, pediatric care, primary medical care, vision care, dental care, and more.
One of the many benefits of turning to Southern California Medical Center is that we have many specialists on-site. If you need a consultation, we can arrange it on the same day and at the same location.
