Chiropractic Care

What is chiropractic care?

Chiropractic care is a form of medical treatment based on the philosophy that inflammation, pain, and illness are caused by impingement or subluxations in the nervous system, which controls the whole body. Chiropractic care releases impingements and realigns the spine and other joints in the body, harnessing its inherent recuperative powers and optimizing the relationship between the brain, the body, and the spinal cord. Chiropractic is a pharmacology-free form of medical care. Chiropractic heals the body while pain medication only masks the symptoms, puts strain on the liver and kidneys, and eats away at the lining of the digestive system.

Is chiropractic care safe?

Chiropractors undergo extensive training before ever interacting with a patient. They learn about the physiology of the body and practice adjusting techniques. As a result, chiropractic care is widely recognized as a safe and non-invasive therapy. It’s known as an effective drug-free treatment for a wide variety of neuromusculoskeletal complaints and medical conditions. Chiropractors use a wide variety of techniques and adjustments, which are customized to meet the specific needs of each individual patient. Some treatments are more aggressive than others. For example, most patients experience almost immediate relief from pain following an adjustment, although it’s not uncommon for a patient’s muscles to feel stiff or tender as they readjust to being in the correct position. The chiropractic team at Active Medical Center has been trained in many techniques. Patients will receive safe and effective treatment that provides pain relief as well as decreasing arthritis, restoring joint motion, and healing any underlying conditions. Many patients prefer this natural approach to healthcare because they don’t want to be reliant on drugs to be pain-free. Others may prefer to work with doctors who want to help them avoid surgery while improving and maintaining physical, emotional, and mental well-being.

When should a patient seek chiropractic care?

Chiropractic care is a safe and effective treatment for many of the painful symptoms people experience in their neck, back, and extremities. If patients experience pain in any part of the body, especially if it stops them from participating in normal day-to-day activities, chiropractic care may be an excellent treatment choice. Chiropractors take a holistic view of a patient’s health and will not only provide adjustments to address structural misalignments but also provide advice on exercise, diet, sleep, and other factors that can contribute to a patient’s overall wellness.
