WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC

Interestingly, I have found that many Chiropractic patients do not know why Chiropractic works, they just know that it does. If you had experience with Chiropractic and were asked to describe it to someone else, what would you say?

Unfortunately, we often hear the word "snap", "crack", or "pop"...

Kellog's Rice Krispies may begin to think that Chiropractic is encroaching upon their marketing campaign. This description also does not leave a good mental image to others who are considering Chiropractic care, much less describe what actually happens during a Chiropractic Adjustment/Manipulation.

The sound that is typically heard during a Chiropractic manipulation is merely a release of several gase, including Nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, which are released from an air-tight capsule...

Fortunately, nothing is being damaged during this type of treatment and the capsule containing the gases reforms very quickly. This is why individuals are able to continuously "pop" their knuckles...Arthritis is not a concern unless inflammation remains in a joint. This is the reason that COLD should always be considered over HEAT when a joint hurts. HEAT will reduce pain for a short while, yet always cause further inflammation several hours after application. COLD Packs reduce inflammation and promote healing after the first 24 hours.



The Chiropractic Manipulation is meant to relieve nerve interference, often called Subluxation, and restore your body's natural ability to heal itself. This natural ability to heal is called Innate Intelligence. Innate means "born-with", so it literally means that your body was born with an intelligent design to heal itself.



Nerve interference can come in many forms, often as misaligned vertebrae. The causes of these misalignments can be extensive. In the most basic form, misalignments in the spine are due to muscle and ligament failure, which are responsible for maintaining the body's structural integrity.

The muscles and ligaments can be affected by 3 things: Chemical Stressors, Physical Stressors, and Emotional Stressors...

Doctors of Chiropractic have been trained to assess all three of these components of a person's health and determine the proper treatment protocol. At times, the proper treatment may be a referral to another healthcare professional.

Chiropractors are a good first-choice when seeking care for a health ailment...

The goal is to "first do no harm", which Chiropractic successfully accomplishes through safe, manual methods of treatment using a combination of Chiropractic, Physical Therapy, and Osteopathic techniques. If Chiropractic treatment is not well-suited for a particular health problem, Chiropractors are trained to make a proper diagnosis and refer their patients to the correct health provider.

Despite having a vast knowledge of the spinal column and nervous system, Chiropractors have the ability to treat many different bodily ailments other than Back Pain, Neck Pain, and Headaches. The Reason?

Chiropractors are trained to identify nerve interference...

Nerves control absolutely every function in the entire body, including the air we breathe, the pain we feel, the tightening and relaxing of blood vessels, the production of chemicals & hormones, circulation throughout all tissues, the rate at which our heart beats, and hundreds of other functions that allow our body's to heal.

There's no mystery in science properly Applied...
