Why a Chiropractor?
Chiropractic Doctors work hard to improve an individual's quality of life through physical
means. Manual and gentle manipulative therapy, exercises and movement training and other
physical medicine all help to achieve this. Chiropractors also offer you personal advice on
stretching and strengthening exercises, posture, diet, lifting procedures and stress
management.
Adequate education will lead to the prevention of many physical problems and this is a priority
area for Chiropractors.
What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic medicine is based on the scientific fact that your body is a self-regulating,
self-healing organism. These very important functions are governed by the brain, spinal cord,
and the many nerves in the body.
The skull protects the delicate tissues of the brain. The moving bones of the spine protect the
vulnerable communication pathways of the spinal cord and nerve roots. If the nervous system
is not functioning efficiently or is impaired, it can cause malfunction of the tissue and organs
throughout the body.
Chiropractic doctors call this the Vertebral Subluxation Complex. Vertebral, meaning the bones
of the spine.
Subluxation, meaning the less than a total dislocation, and Complex, meaning consisting of
more than one part.
Chiropractic is the science of locating offending spinal structures, the art of reducing their
impact to the nervous system, and a philosophy of natural health care based on your inborn
potential to be healthy.
What are vertebral subluxations?
A vertebral subluxation is the result of spinal bones with improper motion or position affecting
nerve communications between your brain and your body.
sub = less than | luxation = dislocation
A vertebral subluxation is a stress response. Muscles go into spasm. Spinal bones lock up.
And adjacent nerves are choked or chaffed. This interferes with the control and regulation of
your body. This interupts and distorts the communication between the brain and other parts of
your body. Impaired communications between your brain and your body can seriously impair
your health! Preventing and improving this communication is an important function of a
chiropractic doctor.
Distorted nerve is an underlying cause of many health problems beyond headaches and back
pain. For example, Interference with nerve impulses going to or from your stomach can cause
minor to very serious stomach problems.
Your nervous system governs every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. These nerve
impulses travel through your spine. Therefore, having a spine free of vertebral subluxation is
essential for optimal health.
Only a chiropractic examination can detect vertebral subluxations. And only chiropractic
adjustments can reduce their effect to your nervous system, naturally. Find out if you have
vertebral subluxations before they become more serious and more difficult to correct,
Chiropractic adjustments can be the most essential part of your care.
Spinal joints that are not moving correctly can choke or irritate nearby nerves. Chiropractic
adjustments add motion to these stuck joints, reducing nervous system distruption. Then,
health can return.
Most patients find that adjustments are pleasant and enjoy returning for additional treatments.
Many Techniques
Sometimes a specific, highly-accurate thrust is used. Or an instrument delivers carefully
directed energy. Or a slow, constant pressure is used. Several areas may be adjusted, or just
one. Sometimes a popping sound is heard.
Most patients report a sense of well-being and ease. After all, if adjustments weren't pleasant,
our patients wouldn't return for the multiple visits needed to retrain their spine!
Everyone Benefits
Newborns, infants, children, seniors and even back surgery patients can get adjusted.
Adjustments are tailored to your size, age and health issue.
Find out for yourself by scheduling a no-obligation consultation to discuss your problem.
