Q&A
Is chiropractic effective?
Chiropractic is effective in helping to remove postural imbalances and structural misalignments that can accumulate in our bodies over time. Chiropractic works by restoring your own inborn ability to be healthy. For your body to remain healthy, your nervous system must function well. In order for the nervous system to function properly it must be free of interference. Chiropractic adjustments can restore spinal function, which removes nerve interference from misaligned vertebrae. This allows optimal nervous system function and, therefore, improved health.
Why should I see a Chiropractor?
A chiropractor is not only for back pain and neck pain. Chiropractic care is an excellent way to keep your entire body at its peak performance through nutrition, adjustment and overall wellness. In addition, chiropractic care has been known to help a wide range of conditions from fibromyalgia to diabetes.
What is Subluxation?
When a vertebrae comes out of alignment, or moves out of its normal position, this is referred to subluxation. Subluxations can be caused by a wide range of issues ranging from a minor slip or bump to a car accident or any sudden trauma. When a vertebrae is out of alignment, it begins to put pressure on nerves, blood vessels and everything around it. This pressure comes with a price. Messages sent from the brain need a clear path way, the subluxation interrupts this natural pathway.
How does chiropractic care work?
Chiropractic care is an overall way of looking at the human body. It's based on the idea that the body is self-sustaining and self-healing. The body is controlled by the brain through its connection via the spinal cord and the vast networks of nerves that make up the body. When this system is not functioning at its peak, the overall performance of the human body is lacking.
The chiropractic world does not utilize drage and medicine as the primary way of treating a patient. Supplements and nutrition are almost always a part of the bigger picture, drugs and prescriptions can be viewed as band-aids to treat symptoms rather than going to the source and treating the real problem.
Chiropractic care is often thought to be used solely to treat back and neck pain, but that is just a small part of what the profession is capable of handling. Chiropractors not only treat soft and hard tissue problems such as sciatica and joint pain, but are also called on to deal with more significant issues. Some of these issues include fibromyalgia, allergies, insomnia, headaches and many more.
What results can I expect from treatment?
Chiropractic is centered around the idea of removing imbalances, both structural and postural, in an effort to allow the body to heal itself. For this to happen, the network of nerves and signals from your brain, down your spinal cord, to the network of nerves must be allowed to flow freely without any interruption. Chiropractors have the ability and skill to remove these interruptions or misalignments and allow the body to perform as it was meant to.
If you've ever been in a car accident, played a sport, fell down or just bumped into something too hard, it's very possible that your body is not functioning at it's best due to a misalignment. While there are many potential causes, mechanical or structural, for misalignment, there are also chemical reasons. For example, if you smoke or drink excessively or even just have a poor diet, these can cause chemical issues in your body, which can eventually cause underlying conditions or disease to appear.
Allowing a chiropractor to get you back on track both chemically and structurally will bring your body back to the proper state it should be in to perform at its peak.
