Why Choose Chiropractic Care?
The body is self healing and regulating and the brain and nervous system work together to control and co-ordinate all functions in the body.
Fortunately chiropractic care assists the body to maintain optimal functioning of your body. True health is more than the absence of symptoms and pain.
As chiropractors, we are the only professionals who undergo years of training to be able to detect, reduce, and correct subluxations .
It is my responsibility as your Doctor of Chiropractic, to increase the capacity of your body to function at its maximum
Anatomy
A subluxation occurs when one or more of the vertebrae (bones of your spine ) move out of position and create pressure on, or irritate spinal nerves.
These nerves that exit from each vertebrae level. They make every organ, tissue and cell in the body function.
If there is interference with nerve signals, parts of the body will not get the correct nerve messages and they will not be able to function to the best of their ability. Normal nerve function is essential for good health.
Stress
There are different types of stressors. Spinal stress can be caused by a single traumatic event, such as improper lifting of a heavy object, or repetitive stresses, such as sitting in an awkward position with poor spinal posture for an extended period of time.
Life events such as automobile accidents, sports injuries, repetitive work, emotional or chemical stress can also produce subluxations.
Why An Adjustment?
Headaches, migraines, back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of arms or legs, stomach discomfort, TMJ problems, scoliosis and heel spurs are some conditions resulting from subluxations.
For an active and healthy body, it is essential to have a healthy nervous system. Adjustments help in restoring normal nerve function thus bringing relief from pain.
After An Adjustment
After the initial adjustment, most patients will feel immediate relief, even from years of discomfort and pain. This could be felt as having less tension and discomfort and more energy.
Patients will often feel better when the spine is in its normal position and worse if the correction does not stabilize and needs to be adjusted again.
During the healing process and transition, very few will experience slight discomfort or muscle soreness. If it does, it will normally resolve in 12-48 hours. For the most part, your pain did not happen overnight, and it is often deep seated. With continued chiropractic care, your nervous system will begin its healing process.
Continuing Your Care
Once you continue with your wellness care, please keep up with the regular visits that we have scheduled. Each visit builds on the ones prior. Sometimes relapses occur.
It Is important to keep your visits, so we can attain your goals! I know your time is valuable, and I will do everything I can to be respectful of yours.
