Rehabilitation is crucial in restoring function, preventing recurrence, and supporting long-term health in chiropractic patients. This book presents evidence-informed strategies for functional rehabilitation, including exercise therapy, proprioceptive training, neuromuscular re-education, and postural correction. It covers assessment tools, goal-setting, and progressive loading principles tailored to various musculoskeletal conditions. The integration of rehab into chiropractic care is discussed through real-case scenarios. Detailed protocols for common injuries support clinical decision-making and patient compliance. With illustrations and step-by-step instructions, the content equips practitioners to design safe, individualized rehabilitation programs.
