Chiropractic & Physical Therapy
Physical therapy can provide invaluable relief from injury or chronic illness. Not only is it often the first step toward healing and recovery, but physical therapy gives you tools that allow you to stay in charge of your health even once leaving the clinic. Chiropractic care and physical therapy are two healthcare approaches that focus on improving and maintaining physical health, often through non-invasive, drug-free methods. If you need physical therapy or are looking for the best chiropractors in Gilbert, AZ, contact Gilbert Integrative Medical Center today!

Physical Therapy
Physical therapy (also known as physiotherapy) is an important part of a treatment plan for many conditions. Physiotherapy is also used effectively in helping injured workers return to the workforce, people suffering from arthritis and people recovering from surgery.
ABOUT
Chiropractic adjustments leverage the relationship between the spine and the nervous system. Your chiropractor’s cunning manipulation of your vertebral column assists in the alignment of any structural or biomechanical issue affecting your spine. The procedure is known for producing its satisfyingly audible “crack” while your doctor works to relieve pain and improve mobility. When you regain normal mobility in your spine, it will eliminate or reduce nerve irritation and restore normal function.
WHAT DOES A CHIROPRACTOR DO?
Chiropractors are health care professionals who specialize in neuromuscular disorders. They adjust your spine to eliminate misalignments that may cause pain or other issues.
BENEFITS
Chiropractic care is effective for a range of musculoskeletal problems. When teamed with physical therapy, the treatment may relieve chronic discomfort and improve overall well-being. It is a personalized treatment that is tailored to your needs.
CANDIDATES
Candidates for chiropractic care experience back and joint pain. They may also experience frequent headaches at the base of the skull and at the peak of the brow. All of these issues may contribute to insomnia and irritability, which may in turn adversely affect your personal relationships and overall quality of life.
Our chiropractic and physical therapy patients are experiencing musculoskeletal symptoms which may cause them chronic discomfort.
However, the extent of their ailments do not require surgery. In fact, Wellness 1st recommends chiropractic care well ahead of when surgery may be required. The proper treatment regimen may help to avoid surgery altogether, if the issue is caught in time. At Gilbert Integrative, we believe in relieving your physical symptoms without risky surgeries or habit forming drugs.

Manual Adjustment
Most Gilbert Integrative patients report that their chiropractic care is quick, easy and satisfying. The overwhelming consensus agrees that it is far superior to orthopedic surgery. Your first adjustment will take place on a comfortable padded table made specifically for chiropractic care.
Adjustments may be performed while you are face down, on your side, sitting upright, or lying on your back. The chiropractic adjustment is a therapeutic manipulation that uses controlled force, leverage, direction, amplitude and velocity directed at specific joints. Your chiropractor will most often make these adjustments to the spine, but he or she might adjust other joints, such as the ankle, knee, wrist, elbow, or shoulder in order to restore structural alignment or to improve joint function.
Chiropractic Aftercare
Recovery from your adjustment is very minimal. It is a mostly painless procedure that does not require any downtime. It is not uncommon for your chiropractor to recommend multiple sessions. Our treatment is hands-on and typically requires a cumulative effect. If you have chronic pain, a high level of discomfort or bear multiple issues at once, you will likely need ongoing care.
Custom exercise and stretching programs help the body heal after an injury
Exercises may vary and change from patient to patient, but the goal is always the same. The aim of a rehabilitation program is to regain pre-injury levels in all aspects of physical fitness. Correction of muscle imbalance problems around the shoulder, hip or knee are addressed effectively with exercise rehabilitation guided by a trained professional. Core stability muscles are also an important part of the treatment of chronic lower back pain
Preparation
In order to prepare for your chiropractic adjustment, the doctor must first assess your current health condition and medical history. You will fill out a questionnaire at the beginning of your appointment. The patient intake is a great time to communicate your pain history and health goals.
RESULTS
Many patients say that they experience a significant reduction in pain after just one chiropractic adjustment. However, most people do require several visits to fully realign their spine. Chiropractic adjustments are a safe and effective way to manage your back, neck, and shoulder pain. Most people feel a reduction in pain and a sense of relaxation and comfort after a visit to the chiropractor. If you are experiencing intense or increasing pain in your back, shoulders or neck, a chiropractic adjustment may be right for you.
TESTIMONIALS

Exercise rehabilitation helps to improve flexibility and balance
Flexibility is the ability to extend or stretch without breaking. The term is usually used to describe muscles but can also be used to describe a movement involving a number of muscles. In addition physiotherapy building muscle strength and aiding in recovery, these exercises can also improve flexibility which is a vital part of maintaining a sound body.
Balance can be difficult for the body after time. Regardless if you are injured or not, the body sometimes works to compensate for weak areas. This can ultimately throw the body off-balance just from daily activities.

Frequently Asked Questions
IS PHYSICAL THERAPY THE SAME AS CHIROPRACTIC?
There is a great amount of overlap in the physical therapy and chiropractic disciplines. They employ many of the same means to achieve similar ends. Both concern themselves with helping your body heal from injury so that you can lead a richer, fuller life. They both also offer preventative measures to help patients avoid extreme interventions like powerful drugs and invasive surgery. Chiropractic care and physical therapy are only two of several complementary therapies available to help you restore your health and prevent future injuries.
HOW MUCH DOES CHIROPRACTIC AND PHYSICAL THERAPY COST?
We understand that every body is different. Gilbert Integrative is committed to personalized, quality care. The scope and sequence of treatments may vary greatly from individual to individual, even if they happen to be exhibiting similar symptoms. Only a personal consultation will allow us to determine your particular needs.
It is important to note that chiropractic care may be covered by your health insurance program. More insurance providers are beginning to recognize the benefit of regular chiropractic care. Contact your insurance provider to see how many visits are covered by your plan.
DO CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENTS HURT?
Chiropractic adjustments are completely painless for most people. Any discomfort is usually minimal and only temporary. Most patients report the opposite, in fact. They say they feel quite a bit better after spinal manipulation.
WHY DOES CRACKING MY BACK FEEL SO GOOD?
There is nothing more satisfying than the release of pent up tension. This release of pressure is supposedly what makes back adjustments feel so good to lots of people. Back cracking also releases endorphins around the area that was adjusted, causing feelings of relaxation and bliss.
