Chiropractic Care for Neck Pain, Back Pain or Arthritis!

 

Chiropractics can tackle a multitude of afflictions. The first step in understanding this practice is realizing that prevention is our number one goal.  Knowing that you personally can prevent illness, stress, fracture, fatigue, and discomfort can place you ahead of the game.  It can and will increase you mood and productivity, as well as give you relief from everyday aches and pains.

 

Chiropractic’s, as defined, is a health care discipline which emphasizes the inherent recuperative power of the body to heal itself without the use of drugs and surgery. The practice of chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure, primarily the spine, and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health.

 

Because chiropractic treatments are primarily applied to the spinal region, many individuals incorrectly assume that chiropractors treat only back and neck ailments. While we do quickly and effectively eliminate back and neck pain, it's not the only goal. The objective is to restore and optimize human health. The technique is painless and the benefits far out way those of modern medicine. There is a significant and very important difference between the way chiropractors and medical doctors approach health ailments.

 

When Chiropractors are evaluating and treating patients, they take a holistic approach which includes identifying and correcting the cause of the patient's health ailment. In contrast, the medical approach tends to focus more on the treating the symptoms of a condition rather than focusing primarily on the actual cause.

 

Chiropractors believe that correcting the cause of the problem provides significant long-term benefits over only treating the symptoms.  This differs from modern medicine because its approach is less invasive, yet the long-term effects are lasting.

 

Chiropractics also take on many forms of treatment and prevention.  How it works is often confusing to those who are unfamiliar or new to the practice.  As you may already know, the nervous system is the master controller of all living cells, tissues and organs; orchestrating and coordinating all cellular functions. The spinal column encases the nervous system, spinal cord and nerve roots, and is responsible for its protection.

 

Because of this intimate relationship, biomechanical and structural problems in the spinal column can irritate parts of the enclosed nervous system. This irritation can result from noxious inflammatory biochemicals released during tissue injury or may result from direct mechanical pressure. In either case, the functioning of the nervous system is negatively influenced as is the functioning of the cells, tissues and organs which are supplied by the affected nerve.

 

The resulting ailment depends on the cells, tissues and organs affected as well as the extent of nervous system compromise.

 

In short, because the body's innate recuperative powers are affected by and integrated through the nervous system, correcting spinal abnormalities which irritate the nervous system can lead to a number of favorable results in patients suffering from various, seemingly non-spinal health conditions.

 

Practically speaking, chiropractors are primarily concerned with locating and treating vertebral subluxations.  Which quickly defined is:

 

“A vertebral subluxation is a complex of functional and/or structural and/or pathological articular (joint) changes that compromise neural integrity and may influence organ system function and general health.”

 

Using a number of unique and highly refined skills, the chiropractor checks the patient's spine for any misalignments, fixations or other abnormalities (vertebral subluxations). If subluxations or other abnormalities are detected, the chiropractor will generally apply a gentle force in a corrective manner to the affected spinal area.

 

Chiropractors use many specialized techniques to identify and treat these spinal abnormalities and optimize overall health. In addition to spinal adjustment techniques, soft tissue techniques such as massage, dietary and nutritional counseling, physical therapies, and lifestyle modification programs are commonly employed.
