What Is Chiropractic Health Care? Chiropractic health care believes that all parts of the body are a system working together for total health. Modern chiropractic celebrated its centennial in 1995 and is the most widely used alternative healing method in the western world. Chiropractic care works because the brain stem and spinal cord are the primary pathways for nerve impulses to and from the brain. Messages back and forth through these nerves control the health and function of virtually every other cell, tissue, organ, and system of the body. Chiropractic works to clear neuro pathways so your body can heal, and you can be free from pain. Good health is a combination of body function, nutritional balance, emotional balance and managing stress. Many everyday things can cause the bones to loose their normal motion or position. This sets off a chain reaction affecting the spinal bones, nerves, muscles, soft tissues, and results in degenerative changes throughout the body. Chiropractic care restores and maintains body function by identifying body imbalances while correcting improper nerve functioning, and spinal misalignment. Dr. Rogers uses a variety of evaluations to identify the problem and a variety of treatments to help restore your body function to the best of its ability to accept healing. Regular chiropractic care is a highly effective method for regaining and maintaining total health. What Can You Expect from Chiropractic Treatment? Health history and consultation. Treatment starts with a complete health history to discover old injuries, chronic problems, and present symptoms. Examination tests and x-rays. A standing x-ray of the spine is taken to show the spine in its natural weight-bearing state. Subluxations are determined by careful analysis of the x-rays, palpation of the soft tissue of the spine, range of motion studies, and other chiropractic tests. Other tests include: dietary evaluation, body fat analysis, and reflex testing. A caring and knowledgeable doctor you can talk to. After Dr. Rogers has studied your health history, x-rays, and evaluations, he will meet with you to explain the results of the exam and recommend a treatment plan. A complete information panel and other instructional aids are available so that all questions can be answered. Chiropractic correction and treatment. The first adjustment begins to restore the vertebra to their natural position. The soft tissues, the muscles and ligaments are stretched when the vertebra is in an unnatural position, so these tissues must have time to "rehabilitate." Normally, proper muscle tone, ligament position, and the shape of the vertebrae will keep the vertebrae in place. Most patients will have a treatment period ranging over a couple of months. Professional therapeutic massage. Massage is an important adjunct to chiropractic treatment and optimal physical health. Dr. Rogers has brought together a massage team that is professional, competent, and caring. |
