CHIROPRACTIC: WHAT IS IT?

Chiropractic medicine is a popular form of natural health care that provides a holistic, non-invasive option for pain relief and wellness. Chiropractic focuses on the health of the spine and the nervous system. The nervous system is the main communication pathway for the body. It is housed and protected by the bones and joints of the spine. When there is a misalignment or imbalance within the spinal joints, this can cause dysfunction in the nervous system, which can manifest as pain, numbness and tingling. The chiropractic adjustment looks to correct these misalignments and imbalances, relieve pain and return the body to its optimal functioning. Chiropractic has been proven effective for back pain, neck pain, headaches. The Doctor of Chiropractic can also identify and correct imbalances in the extremities, relieving pain in the arms, hands, feet, legs and hips. Unlike the manual chiropractic techniques, the Activator Methods Technique utilizes a small, spring-loaded instrument, which allows for very specific adjusting while the patient remains comfortably lying down. It eliminates the twisting and turning motions that can cause anxiety and discomfort. The Activator is safe for adults, infants, children and the elderly.
