Proactive Spinal Health Care

January 17th, 2012

We all have heard the saying “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” This is no more applicable than when dealing with your health. We understand that by taking a proactive approach to health we may reduce injury, disease, and sickness. A popular example practiced by most is dental care. We brush, rinse, floss (yes, we need to floss) and have our periodic check-ups with the dentist. We understand that if we don’t care for our teeth, we will lose them, a simple concept indeed.

We can apply this behavior and use it as a model for other health decisions.

Chiropractic For Back Pain

November 22nd, 2011

Introduction to Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic is a continuously growing practice of non-invasive procedures used to alleviate pain and headaches. It is a healthcare approach focusing on the relationship between the body’s structure, specifically the spine, and the body’s functions. Practitioners may use a variety of approaches, but primarily they perform adjustments to the spine with the goal of correcting alignment problems and encouraging the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Misalignments in the spine can interfere with the flow of energy needed to support health.

The term chiropractic itself comes from the Greek words cheir (hand) and praxis (action) to describe treatment done by hand or hands-on treatment. Today, chiropractic in the United States is considered to be a Complimentary and Alternative Medicine (CAM). Some chiropractic procedures can even be traced back to ancient times. Chiropractic is based on three key concepts:

The body has an ability to heal itself
The body’s structure, especially the spine, and the body’s functions are closely intertwined and this relationship affects overall health
Treatment aims to rectify this relationship between structure and function enabling the body to do what it does naturally, heal itself » Read more: Chiropractic For Back Pain
