Different Approaches, Shared Goals
Have you ever wondered why your progress with physiotherapy sometimes slows down, even when you’re doing all the right exercises? That’s where chiropractic care can step in. Physiotherapists and chiropractors both aim to help people move with greater ease and function, but they do so in different ways.
While physiotherapy often focuses on muscle strength, flexibility, and guided rehabilitation exercises, chiropractic care pays close attention to the spine and nervous system. (It’s always been our goal at Abundant Life Chiropractic to collaborate with other local health professionals so patients in Ipswich feel supported from every angle.)
“Collaboration is powerful,” says Dr Nick Stott (Chiropractor). “We frequently work with local physiotherapists to ensure patients get the most comprehensive care possible.”
It’s a bit like those mornings running or cycling along the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail—your body performs at its best when everything is working together.
When Progress Levels Off
There are times when people find themselves improving with physiotherapy but then hit a plateau. Why did this happen? It may be due to underlying structural concerns that limit how much progress exercises alone can deliver. Chiropractic adjustments can help restore better alignment and function in the spine and joints, allowing physiotherapy to once again be more beneficial.
Dr Stott explains, “By addressing the structural foundation, chiropractic care can open the door for physiotherapy to have an even greater impact.”
Supporting Recovery After Accidents
After car accidents or other trauma, patients may see a range of practitioners, including physiotherapists, chiropractors, and medical doctors. Each professional plays a role in the recovery process. Chiropractic care helps ensure the spine and nervous system are functioning as well as possible, supporting other therapies along the way.
