YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM AFFECTS YOUR ENTIRE BODY. WE WORK ON THAT.

Chiropractic has been shown to help reduce the severity and frequency of allergic and asthmatic attacks.

Chiropractic does not work like a medication offering short term relief from allergies or Asthma, but rather it allows your body to be better equipped to fight against the allergic or asthmatic attack.

A misaligned (subluxated) spine can cause stress to your body’s nervous system. Studies have shown that when the nervous system is under stress it can not function at its optimal level. The nervous system affects the body’s immune system which coordinates proper response to allergens that bring on the attacks. In the case of Asthma a properly working nervous system inhibits the bronchial spasm associated with an Asthmatic attack. Fewer attacks are experienced and the severity of attacks is decreased.

Intervertebral discs are positioned between the vertebral bones in the spine. The outside of the disc is made from cartilaginous type tissue and the center is a jelly like solution. These discs serve many purposes, including allowing movement of the spine, creating space between the vertebrae that allows nerves to pass by freely and acting as shock absorbers. The gelatinous middle of the disc allows the disc to compress and expand based on impact and movement.

Trauma to the spine can cause the disc to herniate, bulge or even rupture. Even with out trauma spinal discs tend to break down and dehydrate as we age, leading to a condition know as Stenosis. Stenosis commonly leads to symptoms of numbness, tingling, ache, burning and intense pain that can be noted next to the spine or down arms or legs.

Proper chiropractic treatment has been shown to be highly effective in treating both Disc Problems and Stenosis.

Whiplash is a common spinal injury for people involved in auto collisions. Though Whiplash is most associated with the neck it can also occur in the mid and low back.

When a car is struck by another vehicle or collides with an object the body is violently snapped back and forth. This causes the muscles and ligaments to over extend, leading to tearing of the tissue. This is referred to as soft tissue damage (bones are hard tissue), and can cause stiffness, soreness and pain. Whiplash will also cause structural damage such as misaligned vertebrae, herniated, bulging or ruptured discs, or nerve damage due to the over extension from the violent movement.

Chiropractic is the most appropriate treatment for whiplash injuries. Spinal adjustments, specific spinal stretching and exercise are necessary for proper healing.

Proper Chiropractic care following an accident will minimize the initial discomfort and pain of the soft tissue injury and maximize the long term healing. Furthermore, it will help avoid future spinal degeneration of the injured spinal areas.

Arthritis is a condition that is caused by the wearing down of the cartilage between joints. Some of the major joints that are affected are the knees, hips, back, neck, hand and wrist. Arthritis can be painful and can cause the affected area to not function properly. Arthritis in one area can cause arthritis or other problems to develop in other joints. For instance if you have arthritis in your left knee, you may compensate for this by putting more of your weight on your right side, leading to right hip or low back problems.

Pain killers can give temporary relief but are not a good long term solution. Chiropractic helps by aligning your joints and spine. In turn balancing your weight and restoring normal joint function. This decreases joint wear, discomfort and pain. In many cases it will allow for some natural regeneration of joints that are already arthritic.

Joint dysfunction occurs when joints become stiff and full movement is restricted. It can be caused by an injury, poor posture, overuse/under-use of a joint, muscle imbalance, as well as other factors. Like arthritis, joint dysfunction can cause pain in the joint and the surrounding muscles, and can also cause problems in other parts of the body due to overcompensation.

One common form of joint dysfunction is sacroiliac joint dysfunction, which occurs where the base of the spine meets the pelvis. It causes low back pain and prohibits movement. This condition is often misdiagnosed because the symptoms are similar to sciatica or a herniated disc.

Your chiropractor can properly diagnose this condition and provide relief. Using specific adjustments for the affected joint can return proper mobility and relieve pain.

Pain along the spinal column in your neck or back is usually caused by spinal vertebral misalignments or fixation referred to as Subluxations. These Subluxation can cause pain by irritating a nerve, by causing pressure in the spinal joint and or causing muscle spasm near the joint. Left untreated Subluxations can also lead to degeneration of the joint.

Chiropractic adjustments free up the spinal joints, align the spine and in turn decrease the joint pressure and nerve irritation. Chiropractic is a direct treatment for the cause of the problem, not a temporary relief like pain killers.

Many people believe that headaches are caused by loud noise, being tired or being stressed. While these are all factors that can lead to headaches, the direct cause maybe tightness in the neck and shoulder muscles. The tightness can cause spinal vertebral misalignments referred to as Vertebral Subluxations in your neck. It is estimated that 80% of all headaches originate from the neck. With this type of headache a person usually feels pain starting at the base of the skull which radiates into the temples, eyes and forehead.

A chiropractic adjustment to the neck can realign spinal vertebral bones or free up fixated vertebral joints. This will allow spinal joints to work properly leading to a relaxation of spinal muscle resulting in the relief of headaches.

The Sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body. It is made up of a group of nerve branches that come off the lower spine.

Sciatica is a condition that results when the Sciatic nerve becomes irritated. Bulging discs, spinal subluxations and muscle spasms can all cause increased pressure on the sciatic nerve. When this happens it causes pain, numbness, and weakness in the low back and leg.

Chiropractic is highly effective at treating Sciatica without drugs, injections or surgery.

When a nerve is squeezed or compressed it is referred to as a “pinched nerve”. This can be caused by spinal misalignments, called Subluxations, bulging or herniated discs, or other factors. The increased pressure on the nerve causes inflammation, pain, numbness, and sometimes muscle spasms and weakness.

Chiropractic spinal adjustments can alleviate the pressure on the nerve and ease the associated symptoms.

This condition is mostly associated with people who do repetitive hand motions. Symptoms include Numbness, pain, weakness, or burning sensations in the hand or fingers.

Often times associated with repetitive hand motions the same people spend prolonged periods of time with their head being tilted forward. The tilting of the head creates neck strain that can aggravate the effects of the repetitive hand motions. This is a perfect scenario for the development of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Proper Chiropractic care addresses both the neck issues as well as the hand issues insuring a more complete and lasting result.

What is Chiropractic? Get educated.

Taking A Natural Systemic Approach To Healing

Chiropractic is an overall way of looking at the human body. It’s based on the idea that the body is self-sustaining and self-healing. The body is in essence completely controlled by the brain through its connection via the spinal cord and the vast networks of nerves that make up the body. When this system is not functioning at its peak, the overall performance of the human body is lacking.

In the chiropractic world, drugs and medicine are not utilized as a form of treating a patient. While supplementation and nutrition are almost always a part of the bigger picture, drugs and prescriptions can be viewed as band-aids to treat symptoms rather than going to the source and treating the real problem.

While it’s often perceived that the chiropractor is solely here to treat back and neck pain, this is simply a small piece of what the profession really is capable of handling. Chiropractors not only treat soft and hard tissue problems such as sciatica and joint pain, but are largely called on to deal with more significant issues. Some of these issues include fibromyalgia, allergies, insomnia, headaches and many more.
