Chiropractic Overview

Focusing on the vital relationship between the nervous system and your health, chiropractic restores health and well being by removing spinal nerve interference known as vertebral subluxation. Without the use of drugs or surgery, chiropractic takes a structural, nutritional and emotional approach to healthcare and aims to restore the natural and delicate balance that exists in all healthy individuals. This is done most commonly to help treat various problems involving bones, joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons. Generally, a chiropractor manually applies a controlled force to the problem area, alleviating inflammation, reduced mobility or pain. Chiropractors are also trained to give advice on lifestyle and dietary changes.

Modern chiropractic began in 1895, when its founder reportedly restored hearing to a man who had been deaf for 17 years by adjusting his misaligned vertebrae. Since then, chiropractic patients have included everyone from healthy babies to people with chronic injuries. The practice is most commonly used to alleviate headaches, migraines, lower-back pain, ear infections, whiplash, neck pain, bed-wetting, muscle weakness and chronic fatigue. Although often aimed at a specific problem, chiropractic provides a 400 percent increase in resistance to sickness for those under regular care. This is achieved by removing blockages in the spine that prevent the body from staying well.

In 1994, the U.S. Agency for Health Care Policy and Research recommended chiropractic manipulation as a safe initial form of treatment for acute lower back pain in adults, and urged most patients to try conservative treatments like chiropractic before opting for more aggressive measures, such as drugs and surgery.
