For more than a century chiropractic care has proven to be an effective approach to healthcare focusing on natural methods to help the body heal itself. Many people still don’t understand how chiropractic works or why, and feel apprehensive about trying it.
Do I Need to See a Chiropractor?
In many cases, the symptoms of a health issue are the only way to know there’s a problem. The root cause remains hidden. So, masking the symptoms may seem like a fix but it’s just hiding the problem. Many times a problem festers without us knowing it. Chiropractic care consists of techniques that can put the body back into proper alignment and restore the natural flow of blood, nerve response, muscle function, and skeletal movement.
From your very first visit with Dr. Bronson, we will be gathering important information and history that paints a picture of your health. Coupled with our innovative Insight Scanning technology, we can map your body’s stress points and show you your current condition and the progress throughout your care plan. A complete examination will help the doctor identify the cause of your discomfort so that a treatment strategy can be formed. You will be involved in every step of your treatment plan so you will know what to expect.
When to see a chiropractor:
- You want an approach that addresses the root cause of your symptoms.
- Your attempts at help with medical doctors is not helping.
- You want a natural way to treat your condition without drugs.
- You want to start taking better care of your body and want to improve your wellness.
- Your condition is recurring and you’ve tried everything else.
The Human Body Benefits From Adjustments
The human body is an amazing machine with thousands of simultaneous processes happening every minute of the day and night. Sometimes, stress or trauma throws the body off its rhythm. Chiropractic adjustments are used to put the skeletal system back in line so it moves properly. Also muscle and tissue affected can be treated to help with the symptoms of pain, inflammation, blockages, and to stop some trigger points that could be causing additional discomfort. The main goal of a chiropractor is to restore the body to its optimal function.
The spine deals with movement and protection, keeps us standing erect, and helps with balance and range of motion. But the spine protects our nervous communication pathway from the brain to the rest of the body. Our nervous system controls every body function, both voluntary and involuntary. This nerve function is affected by the mechanical structure of the spine, so if it’s out of line we experience problems. If the spine is affecting something in your body, chances are it’s having a butterfly effect on other areas of your body too. That’s why many conditions get worse over time, if left untreated.
Why Chiropractic Adjustments?
The spinal adjustments involved in chiropractic treatment place the body in proper alignment, which removes nerve interference, and restores optimal nerve function. Simply, the adjustment helps clear the communication pathway from the brain to the rest of the body and helps with recovery and overall wellness. This can include muscles, pelvis, neck, back, knees, elbows, shoulders, wrists, ears, ankles, hips, and all other joints. It can help lower stress and ease headaches, restore proper balance and many bodily functions making chiropractic a great foundational move for better health.
What Does an Adjustment Feel Like?
All adjustments are different, but they generally feel like a relief. We use a variety of techniques from a gentle activator adjustment to a more traditional manipulation. As a pediatric and pregnancy specialty clinic, Bronson Heritage Chiropractic uses very gentle techniques on newborns and children. Generally, patients will feel pain, stiffness, pulling or throbbing discomfort before an adjustment. Afterwards, we regularly hear patients breath a sigh of relief.
