Practice Information Which conditions can benefit from Chiropractic care?
What
is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic
is a natural, drug-free way to get healthy!
Your
nervous system controls every function in your body – consciously or
unconsciously. If this function is impaired in any way, this places a stress
upon your body. Chiropractors remove this interference in your life (vertebral
subluxations) which prevent your body from functioning at it’s best. Free from
vertebral subluxations, your body is more balanced with less stress on your
nervous system and body structure.
What is a VERTEBRAL SUBLUXATION?
Misaligned
spinal bones (vertebrae) that affect your nerves, are very common. They can
affect your balance, spinal health, posture, resistance to disease and internal
organ health (including your brain).
These
vertebral subluxations prevent you from functioning at your best and may make you
more prone to physical, emotional and chemical stress, leading to sickens,
weakness, fatigue, and early aging.
Doctors
of Chiropractic correct this common and often painless condition. When
subluxations are corrected your natural healing ability, your “inner doctor”
is more in touch with you body. Scientific documentation reveals that no disease
is immune from the natural healing ability of your “inner doctor”.
What
conditions do Chiropractors “treat”?
Chiropractors
do not treat “conditions” – instead they correct a major cause of dis-ease
or lack of body harmony: the vertebral subluxation complex. Think of a healthy
spine as you would good nutrition: important for general health but especially
necessary if you are suffering from any disease or condition.
Vertebral
subluxations are very common and often painless. That is why Doctors of
Chiropractic suggest spinal checkups for all members of the family.
Remember:
you can always benefit from a healthy spine no matter what your health status.
Help awaken you “inner doctor” by getting a Chiropractic spinal check-up
and adjustment.
What
causes the sound of an adjustment?
Not all
adjusting techniques are associated with “popping” sound. Some create no
sound at all, some a little. Many techniques do however create a sound of spinal
release. What causes it?
The
sound is caused by a gas rushing in to fill the partial vacuum created when the
joints are slightly separated during the Chiropractic adjustment.
Is
Chiropractic safe?
When compared to a range of medical interventions a recent study found Chiropractic to be:
“one
of the most conservative, least invasive and safest procedures within the health
care system
Do Chiropractors believe in medicine and surgery?
CERTAINLY!
There are times when intervention in the form of medicine or surgery is
absolutely necessary.
Can
I go to the Chiropactor if I am under medical care?
Yes!
Having your subluxations corrected is very important! No matter what type of
health care you are receiving. Today many Chiropractors and medical doctors are
working closely together and on joint research projects. Medical doctors are
quite likely to have patients who are under Chiropractic care. Infact, many
medical doctors themselves visit a Doctor of Chiropractic themselves.
The
secret of health and happiness lies in successful adjustment to the ever
changing conditions on this planet! The penalties for failure in this great
process of adaptation are disease and unhappiness… many common diseases are
largely due to errors in our adaptive response… many nervous and emotional
disturbances, high blood pressure, gastric and duodenal ulcers, and certain
types of sexual, allergic, cardiovascular, and renal derangements appear to be
….. DISEASES OF ADAPTATION!
(Hans
Selye, Nobel Prize Winner – Pathologist)
YES.
Chiropractic helps the body to adapt to it’s environment and cope with the
structural changes within the body after surgery more efficiently. Your
Chiropractor will take special care to apply techniques that are safe and
effective for those whom have had back surgery.
YES.
Symptoms are not the best way to judge your health as subluxations can be
painless. Symptoms sometimes appear long after the body has begun to malfunction.
For
optimal spinal health, it is recommended that you receive a regular spinal
check-up to minimise the effects of the subluxation.
