Explaining Chiropractic

Can you explain Chiropractic? How does it work? Why does it work? Who is a good candidate for care? How long do you go? Is it good for kids? Why are we so confused when it comes to Chiropractic? People have been asking me these questions for years, and still the majority of people that I meet are unsure about Chiropractic. It’s no wonder we are confused, because Chiropractors do a variety of alternative health procedures. Some do modalities like ultrasound, electric stimulation, decompression, acupuncture, rehab, full spine adjustments, extremity adjustments, or upper cervical adjustments. What is the difference between all of these, and which one do you need? I suggest praying over which one to choose, as God alone knows what you need. Chiropractic is not like medicine, so it does not follow the one visit guideline. It is a program of care to remove subluxations in your spine. A subluxation is a vertebrae in the spine that is creating dysfunction in the body. Subluxations arise from all sorts of trauma. It can be a difficult birth process, a fall while learning to walk, a bike accident, a sports injury, a car accident, and all types of abuse. Emotional abuse, physical abuse, or chemical abuse (prolonged medication that suppresses our bodies ability to function normally). All of these traumas have the ability to create dysfunction in the body. We utilize specific analysis through x-rays to determine the angles that the vertebrae is subluxated, and then we go about correcting it! When the subluxation is removed, then the dysfunction associated with it will begin its healing process. The subluxation will return more frequently in the beginning of your care, but then as the body continues to heal the subluxation will return much less frequently. This will reduce your visits, and help you to remain healthy. We see people with a variety of health conditions from numbness and tingling, all types of headaches, colic, dizziness, low immune function, reflux, irritable bowel, allergies, seizures, shoulder issues, sleeping issues, anxiety, depression, disc bulges, previous spinal surgeries, and so much more. We do not offer cortisone shots, muscle relaxers, or any other medication. These do not correct the underlying problem, but they can create additional problems. Only God knows what type of care you need to heal! Listen to His leading, and always know he leads you in Peace not in fear. Woo Hoo!! Love you💕
