Chiropractic
medicine is a form of natural health care that focuses on treating a
patient without the use of drugs or medicines. Doctors of
Chiropractic, more commonly known as chiropractors, are primary
health care providers licensed in all 50 states, and are recognized
by governmental health care programs such as Medicare, Medicaid,
Workers' Compensation programs and more. Every year, more
than
30 million Americans see chiropractors as part of the regular health
care programs and with over 84,000 licensed chiropractors nationwide
and more than 10,000 students currently enrolled in chiropractic
school, it is the fastest growing health care profession.
A
chiropractor
is involved in the treatment and prevention of disease, as well as
the promotion of public health, and a wellness approach to patient
healthcare. The practice and procedures that are employed by
chiropractors are based on the academic and clinical training
received in and through accredited chiropractic colleges. Chiropractors frequently treat individuals with problems, such as
headaches, joint pain, neck pain, low back pain and sciatica.
Chiropractors also treat patients with osteoarthritis, spinal disk
conditions, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, sprains, and strains.
However, the scope of conditions that chiropractors manage or provide
care for is not limited to the common pains and problems listed
above. Chiropractors also have the training to treat a variety of
conditions such as allergies, asthma, digestive disorders, and other
disorders as new research is developed.
Chiropractic adjustments are the most
essential
part of your care.
Spinal
joints
that aren’t moving right can choke or irritate nearby nerves.
Chiropractic adjustments add motion to these stuck joints, reducing
nervous system disruption. Then, health can return.
Like
lifting a
heavy rock off your toe, our practice members often report a pleasant
sense of release directly following their adjustments.
Many
Techniques
Sometimes
a
specific, highly-accurate thrust is used. Or an instrument delivers
carefully directed energy. Or a slow, constant pressure is used.
Several areas may be adjusted, or just one. Sometimes a popping sound
is heard.
Feels Great
Because
we rely
on adjustments to help your body “right itself", we’re
experts.
Most
practice
members report a sense of well-being and ease. After all, if
adjustments weren't pleasant, our practice members wouldn’t return
for the multiple visits needed to retrain their spine!
Everyone
Benefits
Newborns,
infants, children, seniors and even back surgery practice members can
get adjusted. Naturally, adjustments are tailored to your size, age
and particular health issue.
