WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC?

Doctors of Chiropractic medicine (D.C.s) are family doctors. They adjust the spine with easy, manual thrusts to move the spinal vertebrae back to their normal positions. A chiropractor will sometimes also adjust the joints of the neck, arms, and legs. Spinal adjustments may relieve a spectrum of ailments such as neck pain, back pain, headaches, migraines, arm, hand, and leg pain that’s due to dysfunction of the neck or lower back.

If your neck or lower back has bothered you, you are not alone. Eight out of ten adults will experience neck pain and/or low back pain at some time in their lives. Most symptoms are blamed on car accidents, sports injuries, poor muscle tone, muscle tension, spasms, ligament or muscle tears, and joint problems.

In the past individuals have subjected themselves to prolonged bed rest, uncomfortable traction, heavy sedation,injections, and surgery. But there is a safer, more natural approach to healing the back: Chiropractic care.

Back pain may be the most common reason patients seek the expertise of a chiropractor, but chiropractic techniques accomplish far more. They help patients with acute or chronic issues, including headaches, neck pain, sciatica and improper function of the nervous system that may result from car accidents, sports injuries, heredity and other causes.

Busy parents, athletes, weekend warriors, golfers, runners, anyone can benefit a great deal from routine chiropractic care. Regular chiropractic visits may help maintain bodies at the high level of activity to which they have become accustomed and even aid in function allowing the body to self-heal when proper alignment is achieved and maintained. Additionally, sports injuries are less likely to be serious and can heal at a significantly faster rate in those who receive regular chiropractic care, especially when combined with other healthy activities such as regular exercise and eating a nutritious diet.
