Chiropractic
Chiropractic is a natural health care discipline that is centered on the role of the spine and central nervous system in maintaining good health, and leveraging the recuperative power of the body to heal itself naturally and efficiently. Millions of individuals have benefited from chiropractic care for over a century.
Doctors of chiropractic utilize a hands-on approach to health care that includes patient examination, broad diagnostic skills and treatment. They are also trained to recommend therapeutic exercises, as well as to provide nutritional, dietary and lifestyle counseling.
The most common therapeutic procedure performed by doctors of chiropractic is known as “spinal manipulative therapy” or the “chiropractic adjustment.” The purpose of manipulation is to manually (or with an adjusting instrument) apply a controlled force into joints that have restricted movement-usually the result of tissue injury. Tissue injury can be caused by a single trauma such as improperly lifting an object, or through repetitive stress, such as poor spinal posture for an extended period of time. Injured tissues undergo chemical changes that can cause inflammation, pain and diminished function. Manipulation of the affected joints and tissues restores mobility, thereby alleviating pain and tightness, allowing tissues to heal.
