CHIROPRACTIC
is about prevention and wellness. The practice of chiropractic
focuses on the relationship between the structure and function of
the body and how that relationship affects the preservation and
restoration of health. Treatment approaches used by doctors of
chiropractic include manipulation of the spine and other joints,
and a host of preventive and wellness care regimens.
Doctors of Chiropractic, 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.
The purpose of the “spinal manipulation,” also called
“chiropractic adjustment” is to restore joint mobility by manually
applying a controlled force into joints that have become
hypomobile – or restricted in their movement – as a result of a tissue
injury. Tissue injury can be caused by a single traumatic event,
such as improper lifting of a heavy object, or through repetitive
stresses, such as sitting in an awkward position with poor spinal
posture for an extended period of time. In either case, injured
tissues undergo physical and chemical changes that can cause
pain, (though often times, hypomobilty will not produce any
symptoms) inflammation, and diminished function for the sufferer.
Manipulation, or adjustment of the affected joint and tissues,
restores mobility, thereby alleviating pain and muscle tightness,
restoring function and allowing tissues to heal.
