Chiropractic care has become a forerunner in general healthcare maintenance and prevention.
Its use of heat therapy, massage therapy and gentle manipulation of the spine have eased muscle and nerve pain and a gamut of health problems.
Chiropractic is generally associated with neck and back pain care. It is that and so much more. Chiropractors gently repair subluxations, which are the displacement of spinal vertebrae due to injury or everyday stress.
Chiropractors have 8-10 years of training in anatomy and physiology and extensive training in anatomy of the spine. They are highly educated and compassionate health care providers that heal naturally without drugs or surgical intervention. Many common injuries and disease conditions are successfully treated by chiropractors.
In addition to treating injuries of the neck and spine, chiropractors can also treat and help menstrual cramps, migraine headaches, stomach and digestive issues and edema. Since all nerves from every part of the body enter the spine at some point, making sure the spine is properly aligned is essential. When it is not, subluxations press on nerves which can cause pain, discomfort or malfunction of a body part.
Chiropractors realign vertebrae that are pressing on nerves hindering normal function and feeling. They will use the aid of X-rays or MRI’s when necessary and will suggest medical doctor or surgical consults, if deemed necessary.
