Healing Art
Chiropractic
is a safe and natural form of healing for the entire family. While
no health care system is completely risk free, no other form of healing
can compete with the safety of chiropractic. Chiropractic
can benefit everyone from newborns, children, adults to the elderly. The Facts
Chiropractic is the largest
natural healing field in the world. Today, many medical doctors are chiropractic
patients and their family members also share in the treatment of
natural healing. The actual statistics for potential complication
from chiropractic care is 2 cases for million patients treated. Considering
the statistics for other forms of medical care, 1 in 700 people are
killed from chymopapain injections in the spine to treat back and
leg pain; 10,000 to 20,000 patients out of a million who have neck
surgery due to arthritis meet a fatal end; and the death rate from
anesthesia during surgery is approximately 8 to 10 people per 1000
operations, chiropractic is certainly safe.
Spinal Check-Ups
Spinal examinations
on a regular basis are an excellent way to keep your body healthy
and functioning. It
will enable any subluxation to be detected and corrected. Care
or your spine should be treated like dental care; annual visit for
check up are performed at the dentist and cleaning is performed for
preventative measures. Sometimes the dentist finds a cavity
that you did not know that you had, and filling it is easy. If
you had waited until you had pain the tooth may be in such decay
that it cannot be repaired. The same holds true for visits
to the chiropractor, feeling
fine does not mean healthy.
Chiropractic is not just
a treatment for neck or back pain; it is a means of healthy living
and disease prevention. Your
Chiropractors goal is to relieve your body of vertebral subluxations
so that your body may function properly. Uncorrected
vertebral subluxations can cause a weakening of the spinal muscles,
stretch and deform the spinal column, cartilage, discs and vertebrae. This
causes a lack of energy,
early aging and fatigue. But
the most prevalent result of spinal nerve stress is the irritation
of the nervous system and brain stem. This irritation
is an interference that interrupts the information and energy flow
to the various parts of the body and lowers our natural resistance
to sickness and disease. Chiropractors are trained to locate
and correct vertebral subluxation through examination and spinal
adjustment. The adjustments relieve the nerve stress and assist
in restoration of body function. Proper functioning of the
nervous system through chiropractic treatment is one of the best
defenses against conditions and diseases that one would normally
not be susceptible to.
You may suffer from spinal
nerve stress for years before a symptom appears, but while
symptoms are absent the damage
to the body is being done over time. This is why a chiropractic
check-up and maintenance is very important. A vertebral subluxation,
diagnosed in its early stage is easier to correct than a subluxation
that has progressed to the point of actual symptoms. Just
as we should see our dentist regularly, we should see our chiropractor
regularly. Like dental care, if a cavity is located when it
is small it may be filled, but if one waits until pain is noticed
that cavity may have already damaged the tooth beyond repair,
the
same holds true for vertebral subluxation. |
