2 min read
The chiropractic profession is one that treats the neuro-musculoskeletal system. The spinal column houses one of the most important organs in your body-the spinal cord. There are approximately 45 miles of nerves in the human body and these bundles carry messages and signals to literally every part of your body. Contrary to the majority of public perception, feeling pain is not the only function of your nervous system. Your nervous system controls all of your major organs, your five senses and brain function. Your chiropractor makes adjustments to the spine to alleviate any pressure on the nerves that might be restricting these signals. By having a trained chiropractor adjust the spinal column, you can alleviate many common ailments like headaches, back pain, or neck aches. Additionally, the chiropractic profession is a holistic one, meaning that it believes in treating the whole body through rest, environment, diet and exercise. By addressing the health and well being of each person, conditions can be treated and possibly cured. This is all done through a natural, non surgical approach. Of course in addition to chiropractic care, changes and modifications are often times needed in a person’s environment, or lifestyle.
Chiropractic adjustments are often used to treat someone after a specific injury like a car accident. Due to the physics of most car accidents, being that a body in motion comes to an abrupt stop; most spinal columns will need adjustment following the accident. Whiplash accounts for 30% of car accidents and in more severe cases nerve damaging misalignment’s. While most certainly, life threatening conditions should be addressed first. However, as soon as possible it is often advised to seek out chiropractic care to do a check up and determine the condition of your spine and whether there is nerve pressure or interference. Chiropractic adjustments can mean the difference between a life in pain or disability or even full recovery and range of motion. Often times a spinal readjustment can do the trick, while in some cases ongoing treatment may be necessary to eliminate pain.
Spinal adjustments can also be done to treat ongoing symptoms on a regular basis much like a health maintenance program. Often times chronic headaches can be treated and kept at bay with regular chiropractic adjustments. Headaches are often times hard to diagnose much less permanently treat with western medicine. The holistic approach that chiropractic adjustments offer has shown to be very successful with chronic pain. While some people are able to manage chronic pain through the western practice of prescription medication, chiropractic care can often give the same results in a natural, drug free way – eliminating the dependence on pills and medicines.
