What is the different between Chiropractic and physiotherapy?

I think Physio uses more equipments/ tools to help in management of the condition as compare to Chiropractic.

Chiro focuses on using \"adjustments\" ie hands of the chiropractor. I think that's why will need to go more often as the spine tends to \"adjust\" itself back till it gets more acustomed to the new position, then the frequecy of visit can be reduced. Thats all I know

Janice_0950, hope your child is getting better!

Hi Hi bigsnooy,

thanks for you concern!!
Yes. No tools and equipement requires. So why may need to go for adjustment daily.:(

Especially, school re-opened more tough for my kid. Need to running up and down for after school. sob sob sob

Thanks all for the clarification. Which one is better?

@Janice_0950 Did the therapist show you any exercise to help?

Whilst some physical manipulation aspects of Chiro and Physiotherapy are similar, the scientific and medical basis are very very different.

In a nutshell, I am comfortable with some of the physical therapy aspects of what my chiro does for me, but he does not push on other aspects, which in my opinion, after researching into what goes into Chiro, borders on quackery.

It really depends what you are looking for, and the skill of the practitioner. Important thing is to get a proper diagnosis of the underlying problem, and for that I'd suggest you consult with a western medical doctor to begin with.

I don't remember what's my experience back then as far as I remember it takes 3 months to take effect.And I suggest to treat what's the pain in yourself.

HI all

Sorry, did not provides details.
Chiropractic is for my 7+ boy in Primary 2 now. He recently fell down bakwards and we went for x-ray. Last discovered Mild Scoliosis in left.
We went for physio for a few times treatment was told 15degree curved. And would possible to put on the braces for next 7 years. OMG!!!! :shock:
Am totally speechless. We did not and never tot abt this and that extend so serious:( :?: :imdrowning: :?

However, we went for another treatment which this Chiropractic. So wonder how good it is? Posture are really vy impt!!! sigh! How can we stop our children to sit & stand in correct posture. Keep nagggggggg non stop! am gg to be a non stop recorder soon:(

Well, either for BRACES or CHIROPRACTIC are both costly. But there are different in Chiropractic not as suffer. I knew sm of pple while wore the braces and felt very uncomfortable and yet vomitted too. :faint:

sigh!!

thanks you all........:D

Hi

Did you seek for 2nd opinion? Usually they will only recommend the child to wear brace when the degree exceeds 25. I thought 15 degree is still mild, should monitor.

Just to share.. my girl's was 27 degree @ 11yo. At this stage of growth, her degree is likely to increase so she has to put on a brace to control the degree to getting worse.

I have also consulted chiropractor. However after consultation, I dont think it was the best option for my dd.. as mentioned, at 11, she has at least 2-3 years to grow taller, means my chiropractic treatment has to be for the next 2-3 years. It's too time consuming to go 2-3x a week for treatment, hectic for both myself & dd esp she will be P6 next year.. it will be very stressful for both of us..

I decided to go for the soft brace instead @ KK. I was glad I made the right choice. Altho it was tough @ the initial period, dd has adapted of wearing the brace and she was very 'motivated' by the results after she put on the brace.. her degree improved from 27 degrees to 11 degree!

her review is every 3mths to check on her brace and do adjustments where necessary..

the good thing of the soft brace is it's not obvious under her normal wear... and she can still do her normal exercise and PE lessons where the hard brace really restrict the movements on the child.

At 7, your son still has a long way for growth esp boys growth only spurt during sec school days..

Yes. my boy was in CSG now…

which located Tampines CPF building.

However, the progress are super slow. in fact, we as parents really must be patience. Lastly after few 2 months+ was told that my boy does improved on his back sniff but not scoliosis. Scoliosis treatment may need long long time. sob sob sob…

hi all,


sorry to hijack a thread so long ago.

but anyone heard abt arc of life chiro? good?

[SBKS]

mummymanic:

Funny you should mention arc of life, I happen to go there for a consultation as I had what they call artifically straight neck which is cervical lordosis


read more here to see what it ishttp://www.wisegeek.org/what-is-cervical-lordosis.htm

So i consulted Dr Andrew and he explained to me that while mine was not a serious case, it would have the potential to turn into something more major if i don't treat it on the onset.

He did some adjustments to my neck and spine and although the pain is better, i think i still need more sessions to see if it works. I think going to any chiro clinic is good as the other but what i liked in this instance is that he was genuinely concerned about my neck and not interested in making me sign a package so i didn't feel pressure at all.

thanks for the info.
