Chiropractor In Malvern, PA
Like medical doctors and osteopathic doctors, chiropractors are physicians. Unlike medical doctors, chiropractors primarily use their hands, and natural remedies, to help their patients. They believe that our bodies have a powerful and innate ability to heal, and with the right stimulus and balance, medication and surgery are more often not necessary.
The chiropractors at Aligned Medical Group like to educate their patients so they can live healthier lives.

What to Expect During Chiropractic Care and Treatment?
What to Expect During Chiropractic Care and Treatment?During chiropractic treatment, when a chiropractic manipulation is performed, and a joint stretches, you may hear and feel a “pop” or “crack” sound which feels good. This is normal and called cavitation. Cavitation is the release of air bubbles from synovial fluid and a vacuum-like effect that allows a further range of motion when being adjusted. Over minutes to hours, the air bubbles diffuse back into the synovial fluid.
Conditions That Chiropractic Care Can Help
Chiropractic helps many musculoskeletal conditions, conditions involving joints, posture, nerves, cartilage, aches, and pains, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Some of the more common conditions we help include:
- Sciatica And Pinched Nerves
- Herniated Discs
- Back And Neck Pain
- Headaches
- Poor Posture
- Whiplash
- Arthritis
- Stenosis
- Knee Pain
- Rotator Cuff Strain
- Hip Pain
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care begins with manipulation, which works by releasing muscle and joint tightness, improving joint mobility, balancing joint motion, and correcting for misaligned joints. Polypeptides, enkephalins, and endorphins, are released with cavitation (the cracking or popping sound) and act as pain relievers and assist in immune system modulation. For this reason, patients often experience immediate relief with manipulation.
If you have an imbalanced posture, manipulation of your neck, upper back, and shoulders may help restore posture by treating the imbalance from a varied approach. Just stretching neck muscles has limited benefits, but with chiropractic manipulation, your nervous system will reduce muscle tension, and help better position your joints to reduce joint stress. Muscles are often tight in RESPONSE to a restricted joint.
The techniques used in the course of chiropractic care include:
- Spinal manipulation
- Flexion distraction manipulation
- Diversified technique
- Traction and long axis distraction

FAQs About Chiropractic Care and Treatment
What is Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractors are licensed physicians who attend 3-5 years of doctorate training following 4 years of prerequisite coursework, similar to pre-medicine. Graduates must then pass state boards exams and maintain continuing education for licensure. While graduates are qualified to be Primary Care Physicians, perform minor surgeries, and prescribe medications, state boards decide the facets within which they may practice, state to state. In addition to chiropractic manipulation, most states permit chiropractors to order and interpret lab work and diagnostic tests such as Xray, CT scans, MRIs, and Ultrasound in the course of chiropractic care.
Is Chiropractic Care And Manipulation Safe?
Every year, millions of people seek chiropractic care in the United States. When provided by a Board-Certified and licensed Chiropractor, Chiropractic manipulation is considered very safe. Our trained professional knows how to use gentle techniques and understands where caution may be necessary. Chiropractors can work on soft tissues to increase the mobility of your muscles and joints.
It is important to tell your Chiropractor if you’ve had a recent fever or illness, sprains, strains or fractures, trauma, osteoporosis, or cancer.
