Chiropractic is a health care profession dedicated to the non-surgical treatment of disorders of the nervous system and musculoskeletal system. Doctor HANSEL performs chiropractic adjustment in Oregon to treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints. The most commonly treated symptoms include back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches. The goal of chiropractic adjustment is not only to relieve pain but also to improve your physical functioning. |
Many chiropractors focus on manipulation and treatment of the spine and its surrounding structures. In fact, one of the most common common types of therapeutic adjustment performed by Doctor HANSEL is known as “spinal manipulation”. Although spinal manipulation can be provided by chiropractors, osteopathic doctors and physical therapist, Dr. HANSEL is specially trained to integrate a variety of treatments with spinal manipulation. |
Tissue injury can be caused by a single traumatic event, such as improper lifting of a heavy object, or through repetitive stresses, such as sitting in an awkward position with poor spinal posture for an extended period of time. In either case, injured tissues undergo physical and chemical changes that can cause inflammation, pain, and diminished function for the sufferer. When Doctor HANSEL manipulates, or adjusts, the affected joint and tissues, patients experience improved mobility, less pain and muscle tightness. |
Patients with certain medical conditions, such as osteoporosis, gout, bone cancer, or bone or joint fractures might risk further damage if they attempt treatment by spinal manipulation and are generally not good candidates for chiropractic care. |
In many cases, such as lower back pain, chiropractic care may be the primary method of treatment. When other medical conditions exist, chiropractic care by Doctor HANSEL may complement or support medical treatment by relieving the musculoskeletal aspects associated with the condition. |
The cost of a chiropractic adjustment will vary depending on geographic region, experience of the chiropractor, and the amount and number of areas being treated. Costs can range widely depending on the issue being treated and if X-rays are needed. In most cases, patients in Oregon pay $40 to $70 per treatment. Most health insurance plans cover some level of chiropractic care. Patients are encouraged to contact their medical insurance provider with any questions they may have concerning their personal insurance coverage. |
