| A chiropractic orthopedist pays special attention to
joint mobilization, orthopedic splinting and exercise
rehabilitation therapy.
A chiropractic orthopedist is especially well-trained to
treat injuries and dysfunctions in the extremities; such as the
knees, feet, hips, ankles, shoulders, elbows, wrists and hands.
The chiropractic orthopedist is very well-trained in casting
patients for orthotic support in the shoes, as well as fitting orthopedic
supports and splints.
Exercise therapy is emphasized, and personalized attention is
given to initiate rehabilitation to prevent future injuries.
Nutritional products are sometimes prescribed as alternatives
to anti-inflammatory drugs when appropriate, as is specific
nutrition for strengthening the musculoskeletal system. |
