Chiropractic care goes much further than treating back & neck pain.Over 100 years ago, D.D. Palmer (the Founder of Chiropractic) had a 'big idea' - the idea that good health can be sustained naturally, without drugs or surgery, through Chiropractic care. Today, Chiropractic is the second largest licensed health care profession in the the US, and rapidly growing else where. The cost of being ill in the short or long term , far outweighs the cost of regular wellness care.
Chiropractors work with and enhance the body's natural ability to heal itself without drugs or surgery. We know that the nervous system controls the functions of every tissue, organ and system in the body. Chiropractic concerns itself with the relationship between structure (primarily the spine) and function (primarily coordinated by the nervous system) of the human body, and how that relationship affects the restoration and preservation of health. How it works When that relationship is compromised by a spinal bone interfering with the nervous system (a vertebral subluxation), your Chiropractor will deliver a spinal adjustment (a specific, precise, corrective force to the offending spinal segment). This correction permits normal nerve transmission, enabling the body's innate recuperative power to begin the healing process. Chiropractors follow definitive protocols to gain the information to provide you with the best care. They will take your history and conduct physical, orthopedic and neurological examinations and may request further testing such as X-rays, MRI and other functional tests. Come before you have pain. Chiropactors can determine long before you have pain, where areas of your spine and other joints are not working properly. They see these issues off before they prevent you from doing things. Its like getting your WOF done, interestingly the government dictates that your car is checked for operational issues, however it does not make you get your own health checked before there is a problem. Perhaps we would act with a focus on prevention rather than cure if it took the same approach around our physical and metal wellbeing? Imagine that. |
