The
Chiropractic profession has made great strides in the past few decades,
emerging as a sound, therapeutic alternative to the conventional medical
system. In fact, chiropractic is the largest, most rapidly growing
drugless, non-surgical health care profession in the world. As a science,
art and philosophy, chiropractic utilizes the body's inherent recuperative
powers. Specifically, chiropractic emphasizes the relationship between
the nervous system and the spinal column in the restoration and maintenance
of health.
What
does the spinal column
have to do with health?
The
nerves controlling all bodily functions exit between the spinal
bones, called vertebrae. When the vertebrae become mis-align, they
can exert excessive stress on the nerves, which may lead to pain
and/or diminished function of various parts of the body. These misalignments
are called subluxations.
The correction of these spinal subluxations is the basis of chiropractic
care as we practice it.
How
does chiropractic work?
When
our patients begin chiropractic care, many are amazed by the total
effect on their health. Our patients tell us that chronic systemic
disorders such as sinus trouble, asthma, ear infections, feminine
health problems, and allergies seem to lessen or disappear entirely.
The reason is simple. Your body has an innate ability to heal itself.
A subluxation impedes this process by interfering with the ability
of the nervous system to send messages from the brain to all of
the organs, tissues and cells in your body. If the condition is
not corrected, your organs and glands can not function properly.
The result is abnormal body chemistry, disease and accelerated deterioration.
We employ a variety of gentle manual techniques to enhance joint
mobility, muscle tone and to relieve pain and other symptoms characteristic
of structural dysfunction. In the process, we are attempting to
correct the subluxations that are blocking your path to good health.
Chiropractors do this in a conservative manner which does not rely
on drugs or surgery.
Who
do we help?
Subluxations
may occur in people of all ages. They can be caused by factors ranging
from accidents, sports injuries, stressful lifestyles, and pregnancy
to poor posture work habits and diet. In later stages a subluxation
may be related to the following:
- dizziness
or headaches
- neck
pain/stiffness
- mid
back/low back pain or stiffness
- numbness
or tingling in the arms and legs
- scoliosis
- muscle
weakness
- arthritis
- overall
poor health
What
can you expect?
A complete
health history is followed by a thorough physical examination which
includes orthopedic, neurological and chiropractic evaluations and
x-rays if indicated. We then discuss your condition explaining why
your condition is (or is not ) a chiropractic case.
If
your condition does not call for chiropractic care, we will refer
you to the appropriate medical specialist. If our expertise is needed,
we will discuss the type of treatment, cost, and your role in regaining
your health.
