We’ve talked to you about chiropractic at home or on the go, acupuncture, and the Webster technique that we offer, but we should take the time to talk about chiropractic itself.
Do you know what chiropractic is, what it does, or who it is for? 🧑🧑🧒⤵️
Many people do not know what chiropractic is, and if they have heard the word before, usually they don’t know what it means. “Chiropractic”, broken into its Greek word roots, means “done by hand”. 🖐️ Chiropractic is a means for us to use our hands to help the nervous system and the body function better, without the use of pharmacological drugs or surgery. 💊💉🚫 Chiropractic helps to fight the opioid epidemic; we want to prevent people having to go into surgery at a young age and predisposing themselves to Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (which unfortunately is a thing). How can chiropractic do this? Really- are we actually doing anything, or do we just lay you on the table, adjust a couple segments, and tell you to come back when you’re hurting again? 🚫❌🛑
We determine areas to adjust based on our exam findings, which may include orthopedic tests, ranges of motion, and palpation for edema, heat, and restrictions. We also take into account your history, including your symptoms of pain and any mechanism of injury. We do not do anything without a reason; we do not treat you blindly. 👩⚕️👨⚕️🩺
We search for areas in the spine that do not have full physiological range of motion. When this full, normal motion is not present, it is often the source of pain, discomfort, or the reason you are having those symptoms of anxiety, dizziness, indigestion, or fatigue (just for example). We do not only treat the spine, either- we can treat virtually any joint in the body. Ankle pain? Pelvis pain? Your hand hurts? Do you have brain fog or sinus pressure? We’ll take care of you, and gladly! Everyone can benefit from chiropractic treatment, from newborns to people who haven’t been newborns in 90+ years. Before you get nervous, yes, adjustments look a lot different on a baby than they do on a 30-year-old man (much, much gentler). 🚼🧑🍼
