What Is Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractic care is a conservative approach to evaluating and treating certain conditions involving the spine, joints, muscles, and other parts of the musculoskeletal system.
Chiropractors use hands-on and instrument-assisted techniques to address joint mobility and musculoskeletal function.
At Ohio Healthcare Partners, chiropractic treatment is individualized. The techniques and treatment plan recommended for you depend on your condition, health history, examination findings, comfort level, functional needs, and treatment goals.
Chiropractic care may also be incorporated into a broader treatment and rehabilitation plan when multiple services are appropriate.

Chiropractic Care for Back Pain
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care.
Lower back pain and other spinal symptoms can develop for many reasons, including muscle or ligament injuries, joint problems, disc-related conditions, repetitive stress, degenerative changes, workplace injuries, and car accidents.
Depending on the cause of your symptoms, chiropractic care may be incorporated into a broader treatment plan that also includes physical rehabilitation, therapeutic exercise, medical care, and other conservative treatment options.
Persistent back pain should be properly evaluated, particularly when accompanied by numbness, tingling, weakness, sciatica, or pain traveling into the buttocks or legs.
Our Fairlawn office provides convenient access to chiropractic care for patients seeking back pain treatment near Akron, Ohio.
Chiropractic Care for Neck Pain
Neck pain and stiffness can be associated with muscles, joints, posture, repetitive activities, injuries, whiplash, or other conditions involving the cervical spine and surrounding tissues.
Chiropractic care may be appropriate for certain musculoskeletal causes of neck pain.
At Ohio Healthcare Partners, we evaluate your symptoms, neck mobility, health history, and functional limitations before recommending treatment.
When appropriate, physical rehabilitation and therapeutic exercise may also be incorporated to address strength, mobility, range of motion, stability, and function.
Chiropractic Care for Sciatica
Sciatica describes symptoms associated with irritation or compression involving the sciatic nerve.
Common sciatica symptoms can include:
- Lower back pain
- Buttock pain

A herniated disc is one possible cause of sciatica, but other conditions can produce similar symptoms.

An evaluation is important before determining whether chiropractic care is appropriate for sciatica or radiating leg pain.

Ohio Healthcare Partners provides chiropractic and car accident injury care in Fairlawn for patients throughout the Greater Akron and Summit County area.
Before recommending chiropractic treatment following a car accident, our providers evaluate your injuries and symptoms to determine which services may be appropriate.
Depending on your injuries, your individualized care plan may combine chiropractic care, physical rehabilitation, medical evaluation, diagnostic imaging, therapeutic exercise, and other appropriate treatment options.
Chiropractic Care for Work-Related Injuries
Work-related musculoskeletal injuries can happen suddenly or develop gradually because of repetitive job duties and physical demands.
Lifting, bending, twisting, pushing, pulling, prolonged standing, repetitive movement, and workplace accidents can contribute to back pain, neck pain, joint injuries, muscle strains, and other musculoskeletal conditions.
Ohio Healthcare Partners provides evaluation and treatment for appropriate work-related musculoskeletal injuries in the Fairlawn and Akron area.
Your treatment plan is based on the nature of your injury, examination findings, symptoms, functional limitations, and individual recovery needs.
Chiropractic Techniques at Ohio Healthcare Partners
There isn’t one chiropractic technique that’s right for every patient.
The chiropractic approach recommended for you depends on factors such as your diagnosis, symptoms, examination findings, health history, comfort level, and treatment goals.
Depending on your needs and the techniques available through Ohio Healthcare Partners, chiropractic treatment may involve hands-on or instrument-assisted approaches.
The goal is not to perform the same adjustment on every patient. It is to select an appropriate approach for the individual patient and condition.
Diversified Chiropractic Technique
Diversified Technique is a commonly used hands-on chiropractic approach involving manual adjustments directed at specific joints.
The technique may be used to address joint mobility and musculoskeletal function when appropriate.
Your chiropractor will determine whether a hands-on adjustment such as Diversified Technique is appropriate based on your examination and individual condition.
Instrument-Assisted Chiropractic Adjustments
Instrument-assisted chiropractic techniques use specialized handheld devices to deliver controlled, targeted impulses to specific areas.
These techniques provide another option for patients whose treatment needs, condition, or comfort level may differ from those receiving traditional manual chiropractic adjustments.
Your chiropractor can determine whether an instrument-assisted approach is appropriate for you.
Activator Method
The Activator Method uses a small handheld instrument to deliver a controlled, targeted chiropractic adjustment.
Because it is instrument-assisted rather than relying solely on traditional manual adjustment, the Activator Method provides another approach that may be selected according to a patient’s condition and individual treatment needs.
Thompson Technique
The Thompson Technique uses a specialized chiropractic table with sections designed to move slightly during an adjustment.
This provides chiropractors with another method of performing an adjustment based on the patient’s condition and treatment needs.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical treatment that may be considered for certain patients with back pain, neck pain, or disc-related conditions.
Whether spinal decompression is appropriate depends on your diagnosis, symptoms, health history, and examination findings.
An evaluation is necessary before determining whether decompression should be incorporated into your treatment plan.
Chiropractic Care and Physical Rehabilitation
Chiropractic care does not have to be provided in isolation.
At Ohio Healthcare Partners, chiropractic treatment may be combined with medically directed physical rehabilitation when appropriate.
Physical rehab may focus on improving:
- Strength
- Flexibility
- Range of motion
- Mobility
- Balance
- Joint stability
- Functional movement
Combining appropriate chiropractic treatment with active physical rehabilitation allows your care plan to address both joint and musculoskeletal function and the strength, mobility, and stability needed for everyday activities.
This integrated approach can be particularly valuable for patients recovering from injuries or dealing with conditions that affect normal movement and function.
What Happens During a Chiropractic Evaluation?
Your initial chiropractic visit begins with learning more about your symptoms, medical history, previous injuries, activities, functional limitations, and treatment goals.
Depending on your condition, your chiropractic examination may evaluate:
- Range of motion
- Posture
- Joint function
- Strength
- Flexibility
- Areas of pain or tenderness
- Orthopedic findings
- Neurological findings
- Functional movement
When medically appropriate, diagnostic imaging may also be recommended.
The information gathered during your examination helps your provider determine what may be contributing to your symptoms and whether chiropractic care or other treatment options may be appropriate.
Do I Need X-Rays Before Chiropractic Treatment?
Not every chiropractic patient needs an X-ray.
Whether diagnostic imaging is appropriate depends on factors such as your symptoms, medical history, injury history, age, examination findings, and suspected condition.
Your provider will determine whether X-rays or other diagnostic testing may be appropriate before or during your treatment.
If more advanced imaging, such as an MRI or CT scan, is necessary, an outside imaging facility or appropriate specialist may be recommended.
