Chiropractic translates from its Greek origin into "treatment by hand". Chiropractic is a hands-on approach to healing that emphasizes correction of bad structure. It is bad structure that directly or indirectly causes irritation to the joints, ligaments, muscles or nerves throughout the body.
Through the use of specific tests and treatment, the Doctor of Chiropractic is able to relieve pressure exerted on body structures and restore proper function and better health.
Before initiating any treatment, a health history and examination involving a postural, functional, neurological and orthopedic evaluation, as well as x-rays, (if required) is performed, to assess and evaluate each patient.
After identifying the cause, the first phase of care begins. This involves pain management and correction of faulty joint function, soft tissue abnormalities and other acute problems.
The second phase of care consists of rehabilitation to promote stability in the body and prevent a reoccurrence of the injury. This is achieved through postural retraining, stretching, strengthening, and muscle re-education. Each rehabilitation program is individualized so that patients begin to take an active role in their care and decrease the likelihood of chronic problems developing.
Once our patient's immediate problems have been resolved, they have the option of supportive or preventative care programs, similar to other dental and medical monitoring programs. Periodic evaluations may be performed to identify and correct body dysfunction before it becomes a problem. In many cases, patient's continue with home exercises and other life style improvements and have these monitored and or changed periodically in order to preserve precious health.
