Chirporactic Care
Chiropractic
is the Science, Art and Philosophy that concerns itself with the
restoration of good health by restoring and maintaining a properly
functioning nervous system, without the use of drugs or surgery. Chiropractic
is based on the scientific fact that your body is a self-regulating,
self-healing organism. These
important functions are controlled by the brain, spinal cord, and
the nerves of the body. The skull prtoects the delicate
tissues of the brain. The moving bones of the spine protect
the vulnerable communication pathways of the spinal cord and nerve
roots. If the nervous system is impaired, it can cause malfunction
of the tissues and organs throughout the body. Doctors of
Chriopractic call this the Vertebral Sublaxation Complex. The
Chiropractic adjustment has been proven to increase motion, increase
circulation, reduce swelling and pain, and remove nervous irritation. Once
this nervous irritation is removed, your body is able to know what
it is designed to do - heal itself.
Chiropractors help in restoring nervous system function. Many
chiropractors also focus on the biomechanics of the body such as
joint motion. Helping to restore proper spinal biomechanics
and improved nervous system function begins with a case history. Your
case history is vital, as it reveals the background about your
health such as surgeries, accidents, the onset of your condition,
and other details, which brought you into the office. After
reviewing your history and discussing your specific problem, a
thorough orthopedic, neurological, and chiropractic examination
is performed. X-rays may be taken which will help uncover
structural and functional problems. Then, once the examination
is complete, your chiropractor will explain the findings and outline
a treatment plan. Progress is then monitored with periodic
examination and follow-up reports.
