Important Definitions for Chiropractic Care:
Chiropractic: It is a distinct science, art and philosophy dealing with the detection, location, control, and correction of vertebral subluxation. Chiropractic is a profession dealing with the cause, not the symptom.
Spinal Adjustment: An adjustment is the specific application of forces to facilitate the body's correction of vertebral subluxation. Our chiropractic method of correction, done by hand, gives specific adjustments of the spine.
Health: A state of optimal physical, mental and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. This can only be accomplished with a properly functioning nervous system.
Intervertebral Disc: The cartilage pad between each vertebra in your spine. Each disc serves as a connector, weight bearer, & shock absorber, providing you flexibility and normal range of motion. Discs rely on proper motion, a pumping motion that brings nutrients into the disc and carries waste away, to remain healthy. This requires proper alignment of each bony segment in the vertebral column.
Vertebral Subluxation: A misalignment of one or more of the 24 vertebrae in the spinal column which causes alteration of nerve function and interference to the transmission of mental impulses, resulting in a lessening of the body's innate ability to express its maximum health potential. back to top-->
Why do People Visit Back in Balance Family Chiropractic?
Patients may initially seek care at our office from hearing our current patients share the results they've had or due to a new or persistent pain that they've "tried everything else" to get rid of. Many times that means taking medication repeatedly which masks the pain or seeking other treatments that temporarily relieve some soreness. At Back in Balance Family Chiropractic we offer an natural, honest fix to the underlying problem, a spinal or joint misalignment irritating the disc & putting pressure on nearby nerves.
How is that possible?
Through the use of the Gonstead Technique, Dr. Adam carefully analyzes your spine for the root of your problem & specifically adjusts only the vertebrae of your spine that need corrected. The purpose of the specific Gonstead adjustment is to achieve proper spinal bone placement, relieving irritation to surrounding nerves & restoring health and mobility of the adjacent vertebral discs. Symptoms resolve & you experience true health! Click on our Gonstead link for more details.
Why do Patients Stay With Us?
The patients that start for pain relief are the most amazed to see other daily symptoms disappear, finding out that chiropractic care is for more than just back pain! Every function of your body takes place because of a message from your brain traveling down your spinal cord, out the spinal nerves and to specific tissues and organs in your body. When a vertebra is out of alignment, this causes irritation to the adjacent nerves carrying your vital brain messages! Like a kink in a hose, the message does not fully transmit to the organ or tissue it innervates. That's like operating at 0-50% all day! You then feel specific pain or symptoms like indigestion, high blood pressure or allergies (see list below). What's worse is that it often takes weeks or months of having a subluxation (misalignment) to experience any symptoms at all!
What To Do?
Contact us! Being checked for proper alignment and nerve health, like brushing your teeth or routine eye exams, is the best recipe for the entire family for true health! Come see for yourself, a consultation with Dr. Adam is always free! Check out the list of symptoms below that have been relieved through specific Gonstead chiropractic care.
