What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic care, meaning ‘done by hand’, looks at the whole person (holistic)and focuses on finding and fixing problems with the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. Chiropractic care is based on the premise that if the bones in the spine are aligned, that the body will function stronger and healthier. Therefore, the connection between the spine and the nervous system is at the heart of chiropractic care, which stresses how important spinal health is to general health.
How do chiropractors help people?
Chiropractors, also called "doctors of chiropractic," use their hands to adjust and move the spine in order to fix subluxations and get it working properly again. These changes help ease pain, make it easier to move around, and support the body's natural healing process, so that you are able to live an enjoyable life doing the things you love at your best. Chiropractors may also use X-rays (if clinically indicated)and other diagnostic tools to check the health of the spine and make individualised treatment plans.
Chiropractic care is more than just adjusting the spine. It can also include posture advice, mobility and strengthening exercises and lifestyle advice to help you live a healthier happier life.
Why is going to a chiropractor a good idea?
Natural Pain relief: Pain alleviation is one of the most important benefits of chiropractic care. A study in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that 94% of patients who received chiropractic care reported less acute low back pain. Chiropractic has also proven to be effective in resolving Neck pain, sciatica, headaches and other pains naturally without the need for drugs or surgery.
Better Mobility: Chiropractic adjustments can make joints more mobile and flexible, which can ease pain and stiffness. A lot of our patients say that their range of motion has increased, which makes everyday tasks easier and more comfortable.
Better functioning of the nervous system: The spine is an important part of how the brain and body talk to each other. Chiropractic care aims to remove interference to the nervous system coming from misalignments in the spine, which may lead to better health and well-being all around.
Preventive Care: Chiropractors not only treat problems that already present, but they also stress the importance of keeping problems from happening. Prevention is better than cure after all. Going to the chiropractor regularly will help find and fix imbalances in your body before they become a big problem. Keeping your spine healthy and strong is paramount for your long-term musculoskeletal health and mobility. Just like going to a dentist regularly keeps your teeth healthy, seeing a chiropractor regularly will keep your spine at its best!
