Chiropractic Care

Many patients are surprised to discover that Chiropractic doctors do not treat symptoms. This is very different from traditional medical approaches. Chiropractic treatment releases the stress points that result in non-optimum body conditions.

These stress points are called subluxations.

Simply stated, a subluxation is a misalignment or fixation* of the bones in your spine which may cause pressure, soreness, or pinching of the nerves. Subluxations cause nerve interference which can result in many non-optimum conditions of the body. They can also cause problems with the spinal discs in your back and can lead to inflammatory or arthritic conditions.

A subluxation often starts as a painless, tiny misalignment, but as it continues it can affect your overall health and vitality. And can become a source of intense pain and discomfort. Chiropractors have specialized training that makes them able to analyze your body for subluxations.

Using special Chiropractic adjustment techniques, your Chiropractor safely, gently, and painlessly corrects them, helping you to regain more optimum health.

* Fixation- lack of normal motion

Our approach to Chiropractic is not just pain relief, but rather correction of the normal motion/alignment/movement of the spine and extremities. With this technique not only does pain go away or improve but function is restored, which leads to increased health of the joints and nervous system.

Most people are aware that Chiropractic treats neck, mid back, and low back pain. However, any extremity – such as a wrist, knee, foot, shoulder, ribs etc. – can be treated successfully. Our clinic handles extremity problems on a routine basis. In fact, often an extremity problem can cause your spine to recurrently misalign.

We often combine our Chiropractic treatment with a nutritional approach, to help your body heal faster and better.

Example: A thyroid issue can be supported with nutrition, which can help the neck stay in place or a Chiropractic adjustment to the neck can assist the thyroid to function better by removing nerve interference.

Most people are familiar with Chiropractic care for neck and back pain, but it spans much further than that, helping to naturally improve problems such as:

• Headaches
• Bowel regularity
• Improved mental clarity
• Scoliosis
• Asthma
• Surgery prevention
• Arthritis and joint pain
• Vertigo
• Joint and knee pain
• Carpel Tunnel
• Plantar Fasciitis
• TMJ
• Sports Injuries
• Childcare including infants
• Organ function: note that spinal misalignment/fixation can affect nearly any organ tissue of the body.

Remember that medication of any sort only attempts to handle the symptoms and not the cause.
Real solutions come from real technology.

You might ask how could a newborn possibly need an adjustment? Well, they don’t suffer from low back pain but they have endured the stress of labor and delivery and it’s important to ensure the delivery hasn’t damaged their spines and delicate structural systems. Chiropractic care will ensure a healthy baby with better resistance to disease as well as a better ability to discharge toxins.

There are many conditions that chiropractic can assist with, such as: Asthma, colic, difficulty breastfeeding, ear infections, autism spectrum disorder, vision and hearing disorders, and neurological conditions. No matter what conditions babies may have, chiropractic care can help them grow into healthy, happy children.

If there is anyone that needs chiropractic care, most of it might just be a pregnant woman. Pregnancy changes a woman’s balance and can make distortions more severe which can cause pain and exhaustion. Chiropractors can help ensure the body is balanced and that the pelvis is relaxed and open, so the developing baby has the maximum amount of room for development. Clinical research has shown that breech presentation have been corrected, with the fetus turning into a healthy position as a result of chiropractic pelvic balancing.

Childhood is an adventurous time for children and sometimes those adventures lead to falls, trips and even traumas. A physical, emotional or chemical(toxic) trauma experienced by a young child can lead to a subluxation that affect internal organs, mental health, overall resistance to disease, and strength and balance. In short chiropractic helps keep children healthy.

Chiropractic care assists by releasing stress from the brain and nervous system which may improve concentration, attention span, and interpersonal behavior, coordination, and in some cases it has shown to increase IQ. One thing is certain, chiropractic will help improve their chances of healing naturally.

Physical, emotional and chemical stresses accumulate as we age. For more energy and for improved function of the immune system, digestive system, eliminative system, cardiovascular system and just about any other system, your body needs unobstructed communication. For a healthier life, periodic chiropractic care is absolutely necessary as it removes the obstructions caused by subluxations.

An unfortunate truth is that our elderly are among the most drugged citizens. It is not unusual for someone to be taking many different medications and suffering from serious reactions to them. Many times, people are taking drugs that interact in ways that are more damaging than if they took them individually. Chiropractic offers a drug-free alternative to an over-drugged population. Chiropractic helps to turn on the internal functions of the body to help heal itself without drugs.

Chiropractic helps many athletes, including top athletes all over the world to assist them in keeping their structural system balanced, the nervous system healthy, and their muscles functioning at their peak. Chiropractic can help to prevent sports injuries, as well as help an injured player return to the game or competition faster. So any athlete looking to function at their peak athletic ability, regular chiropractic care is absolutely necessary.

The pelvic area receives an intense amount of nerve communication. The ovaries, uterus, tubes, kidneys, and adrenal glands all need a healthy nerve supply to function properly. It can be particularly beneficial when pregnant.
The point here is that everyone benefits from chiropractic and this form of preventative and corrective care shouldn’t be neglected.
