Common Conditions
The overall goal of chiropractic care is not to treat symptoms. Symptoms are simply the way changes in the body are expressed. Rather than treat symptoms, chiropractors treat people, some of whom happen to suffer from symptoms. One common side-effect of chiropractic care is symptom relief, which comes from correcting the cause of the problem. Once the subluxations are corrected, function is restored, nerve impingement is alleviated, and relief follows, usually fairly quickly with specific chiropractic adjustments.
Hippocrates, the "Father of Modern Medicine" stated that in disease and illness, "first look to the spine". When someone utilizes chiropractic care for relief of complaints, the relief actually comes as a result of correcting vertebral subluxations, conditions of the spine where nerves are impinged and function is compromised. Chiropractic adjustments correct subluxations, allowing for restoration of nerve impulses, and the restoration of health.
Here are a few conditions patients commonly get relief from with chiropractic care:
Headaches Lower Back Pain Neck Pain
Disc Problems Sciatica Whiplash Injuries
Sports Injuries Carpal Tunnel Syndrome TMJ Problems
Shoulder Pain Knee Pain Scoliosis Stress
In fact, if you consider that every organ and tissue is regulated through the nervous system, just about every health condition can benefit by allowing for proper nerve flow. Feel free to research the effects of chiropractic care on asthma, allergies, ear infections, immune system function, blood pressure, vertigo & balance, digestive disorders, and many other visceral and musculoskeletal problems.
