Some common benefits of chiropractic care are: increased strength, increased flexibility, alleviation of pain, increased ability to move, decreased anxiety or irritability, decreased reaction to allergens, ability to focus, reduced stress, improved immune system, better posture, and a sense of calm and peacefulness.
Who can benefit from care?
Everyone! Even if you feel perfectly healthy, your body is a wonderfully complex system of nerves, muscles, organs, and bones. To run perfectly, your system needs an occasional tune-up. Much like the dentist who cleans your teeth twice a year to prevent cavities, or the car mechanic who does regular oil changes, we suggest that semi-annual chiropractic visits become a routine part of your life.
If you were in an accident (recently or many years ago) your biomechanical system was traumatized, perhaps in very subtle ways. A chiropractor can identify the resulting dysfunction, help your bodily systems to work better together, get you out of pain, and even eliminate that stiffness you've been living with.
If you have back problems, joint problems, or chronic pain, you can seek relief and renewed
flexibility through chiropractic care. Many people try to get help for chronic symptoms by
consulting medical doctors, who might initiate a program of medication and surgery. Often these same
patients will continue to experience their problems in spite of treatment. Why?
Medical doctors are experts at treating severe pathology (such as viral infections,
heart disease, cancer) and acute trauma (such as broken bones and open wounds). But
long-term symptoms often arise from systemic weakness due to trauma and stress
(physical/mental/emotional/chemical). Identifying and solving your body's functional
weakness is the expertise of the chiropractor. We do not treat pathology or
disease; we instead focus on restoring proper function in your body, which enables
your body to heal itself. This is the fundamental distinction between chiropractic
care and traditional medicine.
If you are a candidate for surgery, identifying and solving the cause of dysfunction can often eliminate the need for surgery. Surgery is highly invasive, has numerous consequences and risks, and should only be undertaken when there is no other alternative. In other words, surgery should be your last resort (and any ethical surgeon will confirm this fact). In cases where surgery becomes a requirement, the benefits of the procedure will certainly outweigh the costs. However if you have the opportunity to try less invasive methods, you should explore those options fully. It is always worth consulting a doctor of chiropractic for another perspective before non-emergency surgery. Chiropractic treatments are often successful in eliminating the need for spinal, carpal tunnel, foot, nerve ablation, and decompression surgeries.
If you have reached a state of severe illness, then it is essential that you consult a medical doctor to aid in managing your fight. Yet even with the severest of cases, there is often an underlying physical dysfunction that has allowed your body to be in its current state. Co-care at this stage can be very useful in maximizing the benefits of medical treatment and continuing you on your path to a better state of health. Chiropractic care usually leads to an increased sense of well-being and can help reduce or halt the progression of severe illness. Because we actively engage your body in our treatment, our holistic approach tends to decrease pain, and makes living with illness more bearable.
