What is Chiropractics?
Chiropractics is a medical system based on the theory that
disease and disorders are caused by misaligned bones, especially
in the spine, that obstructs proper nerve functions.
Chiropractors manually manipulate the joints of the body and
realign the spinal column.
Chiropractors are people who diagnose and treat disorders of the
musculoskeletal and nervous systems. The philosophy of
chiropractic medicine believes that skeletal imbalance and joint
malfunction, particularly in the area of the spine, can cause
pain and other problems. Chiropractors rely on palpitation,
pressure, and manual manipulation of the joints and muscles to
cure these problems.
Subluxation and chiropractic manipulation
Chiropractors use the term subluxation to depict the altered
position of the vertebra and subsequent functional loss, thus
determines the location for the manipulative treatment.
Chiropractic kinesiology
Chiropractors often use chiropractic kinesiology to treat
structural imbalances and muscle and joint problems.
Chiropractic kinesiology is a specific form of diagnosis using
functional neurological muscle testing (FNMT) as a primary
feedback mechanism to help determine the cause of an
individual's chief complaint and to help evaluate our
structural, nutritional and mental aspects of health.
Chiropractic treatment is suitable for everyone, including
newborn babies, the elderly, pregnant women, and sports
enthusiasts. Your chiropractor will help you to maintain your
health, and keep your body aligned as it should, and by offering
exercise and lifestyle advice for you to follow in the future.
Not all insurance covers chiropractic care. You will need to
check with your health care provider. Most chiropractic offices
will call and check on your coverage, but it is best to call
your health provider prior to your visit.
Chiropractic treatment can be ongoing. You may achieve a degree
of comfort after your treatments, but misalignment of joints can
sometimes be reoccurring.
