Chiropractic is the philosophy, science, and art used to treat a
variety of conditions of the human spine and muscle-skeletal system.
Chiropractic is unique because it relies on the bodies recuperative
abilities to heal itself without drugs and/or surgery. This is
achieved by focusing on the spine and the role it plays in
regulating the body's functions.
Chiropractic was discovered by D.D.
Palmer in 1895, after an inadvertent push to Harvey Lillard's spine relieved a
long time complaint of his. Soon after Dr. Palmer realized his
problem was related to the mal positioned vertebrae in Mr. Lillard's
spine causing nerve interference which was the
true cause of the problem. Since that day, Chiropractic
medicine has
grown by leaps and bounds. In many
states, Chiropractors are recognized as primary health care
physicians, and can be seen everywhere from professional sports
teams to hospitals. Today we have one of the primary
treatments for conditions such as low back pain, hip and leg pain,
neck pain, arm and shoulder pain, headaches, carpel tunnel syndrome,
mid back pain, and foot pain. Being well educated in the
structure and function of the human frame, chiropractors can help
with every day aches and pains to the most complicated sport or work
injuries.
The combinations of chiropractic
adjustments and physiotherapies, like electric muscle stimulation and
ultrasound, allows for a quick, healthy and speedy return to your
favorite activities. Chiropractors can asset many people to
live an overall healthier life while educating them on proper spinal
hygiene, nutrition, and exercise. This completes a total
holistic health care picture.
