What Is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic is a drugless, hands-on approach to healing. Doctors of Chiropractic understand that disease within the body is initiated by a blockage of nerve impulses from the brain cell to the tissue cell. Every tissue, organ, and gland in your body receive nerve impulses from the brain to control function. There also exists a feedback loop from the tissue cell back to the brain. This allows the brain total control over all bodily cells. Every tissue in your body, when working optimally and properly, is controlled 100% of the time by your brain and nervous system.
THE FOUR STAGES OF CHIROPRACTIC CARE ~ The path to feeling better starts with understanding.
Initial Intensive Care: If an ache, pain, or other symptoms has encouraged you to consider chiropractic care, the first thing you want is to feel better. Office visits should be on a regular basis and your adjustments may be combined with other procedures (such as massage) to help offer relief. Depending on your age, condition, and lifestyle, consistent visits over an extended time may be needed to reduce or eliminate your symptoms.
Rehabilitative Care: Muscle and other soft tissue damage often remain after the original symptoms improve. Rehabilitative care helps stabilize your body and promotes healthy healing. Visits to the office are reduced and you may be encouraged to supplement your care with exercises, vitamins and other alternative lifestyle ideas. With your ache or pain gone healing can occur. Stopping care at this stage may risk a relapse.
Maintenance Care: When ideal improvement is experienced, periodic chiropractic checkups are highly recommended. Check ups are for wellness and prevention and can detect and correct most new problems before they become serious. Health and lifestyle conscious adults choose this type of care for themselves, their children and their animals. Like other preventative health measures, maintenance care can save time, money and enhance your everyday life by staying well.
Wellness Care: Wellness Care can include many phases of chiropractic care including a holistic approach to greater health through personally designed programs including ideas for nutrition, exercise and fitness, acupuncture, organic food plans, stretching and yoga, and emotional health perspectives. Most Chiropractic offices have staff members who are Certified Wellness Practitioners and are available to help each individual reach their specific health goals. CHIROPRACTIC DEFINITIONS Subluxation: When one or more of the vertebrae are misaligned, the flow of energy and messages from the brain to the body is altered. This causes disorganization and disease. Subluxations are known as 'silent killers', often they go undetected, slowly deteriorating your health. Adjustment: A specific force applied to one or more of the vertebrae of the spinal column to remove nerve interference and promote the body's natural healing ability.
Health: A state of optimal physical, mental and social well being not merely the absence of disease or infirmity (symptoms)-World Health Organizations definition.Can Chiropractic help me? Absolutely!
If you have nerve interference (i.e. subluxation) then chiropractic can and will help. Whether you need wellness care or crisis care, the goal of chiropractic remains the same - remove any and all interference. The spinal column consists of 24 bones called vertebrae, 7 are located in the neck, 12 in the mid-back, and 5 in the low back. The vertebrae stack on top of each other like the examples to the left. The spinal column houses the spinal cord, which is the lifeline of the body. The spinal cord and nerves allow the brain to communicate and control every cell within us. Chiropractors remove nerve interference by working with the structural integrity of the spinal column, thus allowing each person to achieve a greater state of health.
Chiropractors work with the internal healing ability of each individual. The doctor will take information from your previous health care history, perform a chiropractic examination, take X-rays if necessary, and design a care plan specifically for each individual. Every care plan is unique, however the objective is always the same: to remove all nerve interference so each person may achieve optimal health.
