People seek out a chiropractor for many reasons, most of them pain related - often this is low back pain, or pain/tension to the neck and shoulder. Other pain related complaints I see include migraines, upper or mid-back pain, pain into the leg, backache during or after pregnancy, sports injuries and repetitive injuries.
Could Chiropractic Help You?
Aches and pains are a sign that your body isn't working properly. Muscles contract, locking spinal joints that pinch or irritate nearby nerves. When the spinal joints become stuck this often puts pressure on the nerves resulting in symptoms such as sharp or dull pain, numbness or tingling, burning or itching. When this happens, chiropractors refer to this as a subluxation. Subluxations are the result of stresses placed on the body. Stresses can be physical (trauma, auto accidents, sports, slips/falls, etc.), chemical (caffeine, prescription medication, poor diet), and emotional (personal problems, employment issues, anger, fear). If the stresses aren't dealt with, this can lead to a breakdown in communication between the brain and the rest of the body which can result in many health problems.
The nervous system controls every organ, gland and tissue in the body so optimal communication in the nervous system is vital.
The nerve impulses travel through the spine so having a properly functioning spine is essential to good health. Chiropractors detect the presence of subluxations and chiropractic adjustments correct them. Adjustments add motion to the stuck joints reducing pressure on the nerves thus reducing symptoms.
Think of a chiropractic adjustment as a gentle "nudge" to help restore better movement to the spine.
While the word chiropractic comes from the Greek meaning "done by hand," there are many ways to adjust the spine.
Whether done with actual hands, various types of handheld instruments, blocks that harness the effect of gravity or by other means, a chiropractic adjustment is distinguished by the chiropractor's intention.
It surprises many to learn that the intent of chiropractic adjustments is NOT to treat a disease, reduce pain or any other symptom. Granted, that's a frequent result, but that's not the purpose of chiropractic adjustments! Instead, the intent of chiropractic adjustments is to help revive your spine's ability to function more normally.
Helping your spine and nervous system to function to the best of its ability is the century-old basis of chiropractic.
If you suffer from spinal dysfunction, in which spinal bones are stuck, fixated and not moving properly, your ability to turn and bend can be compromised. When a spinal bone loses its normal relationship with the bone above or below it, it may set in motion a cascade of effects:
• Reduced joint motion
• Nerve irritation
• Inflammation
• Muscle spasm
• Disc bulging
• Joint degeneration
• Pain
• Numbness in the hands and feet
• Pins and needles" sensations
As a short-term solution to overwhelming physical, chemical or emotional stress, spinal joint dysfunction is a brilliant coping strategy. Yet, when this stress response doesn't resolve in a timely manner, or the stress is chronic, it may lead to other consequences.
