Chiropractic For Back Pain

Introduction To Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic is a continuously growing practice of non-invasive procedures used to alleviate pain and headaches. It is a healthcare approach focusing on the relationship between the body's structure, specifically the spine, and the body's functions. Practitioners may use a variety of approaches, but primarily they perform adjustments to the spine with the goal of correcting alignment problems and encouraging the body's natural ability to heal itself. Misalignments in the spine can interfere with the flow of energy needed to support health.

Chiropractic Is Based On Three Key Concepts:

The body has an ability to heal itself
The body's structure, especially the spine, and the body's functions are closely intertwined and this relationship affects overall health
Treatment aims to rectify this relationship between structure and function enabling the body to do what it does naturally, heal itself
According to a national survey from 2007, about 8 percent of American adults and 3 percent of adolescents or children had received chiropractic manipulation in the past 12 months. Those figures are probably higher today.

Why Chiropractic?

Many people seek chiropractic care in lieu of surgery, or simply because they have pain which may be brought on by stress or physical injury. This may be chronic low-back pain, neck pain, headaches or other pain related health conditions such as fibromyalgia. Although chiropractic is not a treatment for any one disease or condition, if there is a misalignment, chiropractic may help a body's healing ability. Because chiropractic is a natural, non-surgical and non-invasive treatment it is wise to consider chiropractic for any of these pain related issues and definitely before undergoing any surgery for such problems.

Chiropractic for Children?

You may not realize how important it is to have children checked for subluxation or misalignment of the vertebra. Subluxations do occur in children and often have little or no symptoms at this early stage. The birth process alone is a very traumatic experience for a child's body and can certainly cause enough pressure for a subluxation to occur. I am sure you've heard of deliveries resulting in broken collar bones and breech deliveries, etc.

                                   

Subluxations can also occur when the child is learning to walk and also when they are older and playing sports and games. What is important to note is that children have certain windows of development that are often only open for a short period of time. This is predicated by the neural system which is the first system formed in a child's development. If the neural system is being affected by subluxation your child's potential is being limited. Chiropractic moms have claimed that their children are more expressive, don't get sick as often and have better concentration than those who do not benefit from chiropractic treatment.
