What is Chiropactic?


A Healthy Nervous System

Picture
The most important component of wellness in the vitalistic paradigm of the
Chiropractic Profession is a healthy Nervous System.

Doctor's of  Chiropractic are in reality Doctor's of the Nervous System. An optimally  working Nervous System is critical to health, because the Nervous System controls the health of every cell, tissue and organ in our body. 

Wellness Chiropractic care is defined as regular spinal adjustments to  create optimal functioning of the Nervous System.
 
Regular care can be  anything from weekly to monthly adjustments, and has the overall effect of continually increasing our body's adaptability and vitality.



Medicare Study on Chiropractic

Picture
A revealing piece of research done by Medicare showed that regular Chiropractic adjustments, defined as a minimum of once per month, for 5 years, had a monumental positive impact on health. The people that used Chiropractic for health and wellness had 50% fewer visits to their MD, AND the overall dollars spent for "healthcare" (an oxymoron, because healthcare is really sick care) was 70% less!

Medicine vs. Health

Picture
It is important to distinguish the contrasting interpretations that  exist when a Chiropractor uses the language of Wellness, vs. a Medical Doctor. When medicine refers to wellness, what they really mean is early disease detection. This obviously is an important part of what they do, but the emphasis is on the detection and treatment of disease, using interventions that include drugs and surgery. Chiropractic Wellness arises from the premise that the body is homeo-dynamic and self healing.  By providing the body with proper nerve function, nutrition, exercise, a safe clean environment, and a balanced lifestyle, our body's will thrive, and the end result will be health, vitality, and wellness!!

What Chiropractic Treats

Picture
Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the
musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects of these
disorders on general health.  Chiropractic care is used most often to treat
neuromusculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited to back pain, neck
pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches.


Doctors of Chiropractic – often referred to as chiropractors or chiropractic
physicians – practice a drug-free, hands-on approach to health care that
includes patient examination, diagnosis and treatment. Chiropractors have broad diagnostic skills and are also trained to recommend therapeutic and
rehabilitative exercises, as well as to provide nutritional, dietary and
lifestyle counseling.
