Your Chiropractic Rehab Office Visit

Chiropractic care can be much more than just coming into the office for a spinal adjustment. With our rehab patients, every office visit might be different! We work with you to create a treatment plan based on your specific needs and situation. Chiropractic rehabilitation often involves a plan for routine office visits for adjustments and care, as well as continued care at home, which may include physical therapy exercises, stretches, and potentially a nutrition program and supplement recommendations. An office visit might include a thorough history and discussion with your Chiropractor, and a combination of adjustments, tool-based therapies such as cupping, massage, or stretching, or even other therapies to help with your healing such as PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy). Depending on the injury you are being seen for, your Chiropractor will schedule follow up appointments for you to ensure that your injury continues to progress in the right direction.

Chiropractic Care for Pain Management in West Seneca NY

Chiropractic is a natural option for those finding themselves taking medications daily, or who have reached the point of living with their pain daily who want to do something about it! Often our chiropractic rehab patients have reached a point where their pain is forcing them to look into surgical options. While everyone responds differently to any therapy or medical care, chiropractic can absolutely be an option that can help people get off of unwanted medications and out of pain. Chiropractic can improve mobility, improve alignment of the whole body and spine, and allow for proper form for stretches and exercises. This can give the injured parts of the body the opportunity for blood flow and healing, reducing inflammation and providing pain relief.

What kinds of injuries require Chiropractic Rehabilitation?

The most common health issues and injuries we see for chiropractic rehabilitation are car accident injuries and athletic injuries. These injuries can affect the neck (cervical vertebrae), lumbar spine, or extremities, and are often nagging injuries that just don't seem to want to fully heal. Often the injuries we see have required opioids or other pain medications, which the person no longer wants to have to take to address their neck pain or back pain. Athletic injuries where an acute injury happened during a game or competition are also common. We can work with these patients to help them get back to their sport, while even helping decrease the likelihood of future injuries! Unfortunately in the Buffalo and West Seneca area we also see numerous snow-shoveling related injuries! Whatever the original cause of the injury, we will work with you to help address the root of the issue and help you return to your former level of activity.

Your Questions on Chiropractic Rehabilitation & Pain Management, Answered!

  • Why should chiropractic be part of my injury rehab plan?

    We often work with other medical and treatment providers to complement the healing process. While physical therapy can build muscle, having the body aligned properly will allow it to heal more readily. While other providers might be focused on treating symptoms, we focus on helping the body heal itself as the foundation of all injury rehab.

  • How many appointments will I need?

    This depends entirely on your injury. Treatment frequencies may range from once to several times a week, and may continue for weeks or even months depending on your need. We will work with you to find the fit for your health goals, while still ensuring that you see the results you are looking for.

  • My injury is from a long time ago. Can you still help?

    YES! If you are continuing to be in pain or have limited function because of an old injury we absolutely can help! Contact us for an evaluation and we will make sure that your chiropractic rehab and pain management plan fits your needs.

  • Is chiropractic rehab just getting an adjustment?

    Not always! We customize our treatments for every patient. Your rehab and pain management plan might include adjustments, as well as other therapies such as PEMF, stretching, home exercise, and even nutritional recommendations.

  • Can chiropractic rehabilitation help with sports injuries?

    Absolutely! Whether you’re dealing with a sprain, strain, or repetitive motion injury, chiropractic rehab can play a big role in your recovery. At Buffalo Creek Chiropractic, we offer personalized plans to help you regain strength, mobility, and confidence after a sports injury.

  • How does chiropractic rehabilitation address chronic pain?

    Chronic pain often stems from underlying issues like muscle imbalances or joint misalignments.  Chiropractic rehab combines targeted exercises, adjustments, and therapies to address the root cause of your pain.  Our team at our West Seneca office is here to help you feel better and move easier.

  • Will I need to do exercises at home as part of my rehab?

    In many cases, yes! Chiropractic adjustments can be the start to recovery, but they need your hard work too! At Buffalo Creek Chiropractic, we’ll guide you through tailored exercises you can do at home to complement your in-office treatments.  These exercises are key to speeding up recovery and maintaining long-term results.

  • Can chiropractic rehabilitation help with post-surgery recovery?

    Yes, chiropractic rehab can be an effective addition to your post-surgery recovery plan.  It’s designed to improve mobility, reduce scar tissue, and support your body’s healing process.  Talk to our team, as well as your other healthcare providers, about how we can safely incorporate rehabilitation into your recovery.

  • What’s the difference between pain management and rehabilitation?

    Pain management focuses on relieving discomfort, while rehabilitation works to correct the underlying cause of that pain.  At Buffalo Creek Chiropractic, we combine both approaches, and can also work with your other healthcare providers, to help you feel better now and stay healthier in the long run.
