WHAT A CHIROPRACTOR CAN TREAT
When discussing what conditions chiropractic treats, it must be emphasized that doctors of chiropractic most often treat subluxation, not the specific conditions. Subluxations are misalignments and/ or fixations of the vertebrae resulting in nerve pressure, irritation and interference to the nervous system which ultimately can affect any part of the body.
A subluxation in the spine can cause many varied ailments and conditions. In order to relieve a specific condition, the doctor of chiropractic must first remove the subluxation responsible for the problem. The doctor of chiropractic accomplishes this by delivering a specific spinal adjustment to realign the vertebrae and restore normal function to the area. With the use of the adjustment, your doctor of chiropractic can relieve a variety of illnesses.
Most chiropractic patients are seeking relief for musculoskeletal pain. Some have headaches and migraines, and the remaining patients have a wide variety of disorders caused fully or in part by signal subluxations. It must be understood that spinal subluxations are perfectly capable of stimulating, accentuating or making a major contribution to organic diseases. There can be no doubt that the state of the spinal column has a bearing on the functional states of the internal organs.
Even though doctors of chiropractic treat a wide variety of conditions that respond favorably to conservative chiropractic care, these are just some of the most common situations that patients seek relief from.
