Chiropractic for More than Just Pain?





Chiropractic for More than Just Pain ?

When a new patient walks into our office, they are often seeking out care for a specific health problem such as neck or low back pain. But chiropractic can be used for more than an acute injury or pain. It is also extremely useful in preventing injury and more importantly, maintaining wellness. Chiropractic wellness care consists of regular, periodic adjustments and treatments in order to help prevent the onset of many common disorders and ailments.

The wellness principle and chiropractic in general, is based on the fact that our entire body is controlled by our brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system. Our nervous system controls the health of everything from our smallest blood cells to organs like our heart, lungs, and intestines. So it makes sense that if our nervous system is not healthy, our bodies are not healthy. Joint fixations, in our spine or extremities, cause the communication between the nervous system and the rest of our body to not function properly.

When this communication is affected, it can cause the onset of many common health issues. Osteoarthritis, headaches, and sinus congestion are just some of the many disorders that can take place. Chiropractic adjust-ments remove the joint fixations and allow our bodies to maintain proper health. Also, if you have received previous care for an acute injury or illness, regular wellness adjustments will help you maintain the level of health and recovery that you have achieved from your previous treatments. So use chiropractic for more than just pain. Use it to live a healthy, well-balanced life!
