What is Chiropractic?
If you open the dictionary to find out the definition of Chiropractic, you may find something like this: "A system of therapy in which disease is considered the result of abnormal function of the nervous system. The method of treatment usually involves manipulation of the spinal column and other body structures."
How does Chiropractic work?
Chiropractic works by restoring your own inborn ability to be healthy. When under the proper control of the nervous system all the cells, tissues, and organs of your body are designed to resist disease and ill health. The chiropractic approach to better health is to locate and help remove interferences to your natural state of being healthy.
A common interference to the nervous system is the 24 moving bones of the spinal column. A loss of normal motion or position of these bones can irritate or impair the function of the nervous system. This can disrupt the transmission of controlling nerve impulses.
With improved spinal function there is often improved nervous system function. The doctors at CA Clinic can help remove interferences that may be impairing normal health. Chiropractic can have a positive effect on many health conditions not normally thought of as "back" problems.
Is Chiropractic care safe?
Chiropractic care is "remarkably safe", according to the New Zealand government's inquiry. It is the result of a conservative approach to health that avoids invasive procedures or addictive drugs. The doctors at CA Clinic combine Chiropractic and Acupuncture knowledge and techniques together to offer you a natural approach to better health that safe and effective.
How about the healing process?
While there aren't any shortcuts to speed your body's natural healing process, there's a lot you can do to give yourself the best chance of a quicker recovery. Proper sitting and lifting methods and specific exercises may be suggested to help retrain the muscles that support your spine. Proper rest is an important aspect of the healing process, too. Didn't we hear "Don't work too hard" often? Get the appropriate amount of rest your body needs and avoid sleeping on your stomach.
During the healing process, proper nutrition is more important than ever. Our doctors may give you herbal supplements after your treatments which will greatly help your body to be well balanced with nutrition.
But the most important of all, please keep your appointments and follow our doctors' recommendations for a optimum result.
How long will I need Chiropractic care?
Spinal problems, neglected since early childhood, may require ongoing supportive care for optimum spinal function. These long-standing problems are often associated with muscle weakness, soft tissue damage and degenerative changes to the spine.
Most patients find that periodic chiropractic checkups help keep them in tip-top shape. Those who are active, have stressful jobs, or want to be their very best, find that a schedule of preventive visits are helpful in the maintenance of good health.
Some patients see chiropractic care only when their ache or pain becomes unbearable. While this style of "crisis management" is usually more costly and time consuming, our office stands ready to help all patients, regardless of the health goals. But as we have stated before, following the doctors' treatment plan are always to the best of your own health.
