What is Chiropractic?
According to The Association of Chiropractic Colleges, “Chiropractic is a health care discipline which emphasizes the inherent recuperative power of the body to heal itself without the use of drugs or surgery. The practice of Chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (primarily the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health.”
Fundamental approach to the Boynton Beach Chiropractor is the belief that good health depends upon having your spine and nervous system working at their best. Chiropractors approach health care differently than traditional medicine. Rather than using medications and surgery, Chiropractors correct misalignments of the spine which helps the nervous system function properly.
Who Can Chiropractic Help?
People have been turning to Chiropractic health care for over a century. They have sought treatment for a wide variety of ailments, from migraines to back pain. The following is a brief summary of circumstances where Chiropractic is an appropriate health care choice.
You have been in an accident:
Trauma can cause spinal misalignments which can in in turn distort your structure and irritate your nerves, bones, ligaments and discs. Florida Spine and Injury Chiropractors warn that any accident, no matter how minor, can create nerve-damaging misalignments. We can give you a spinal check-up to ensure that your spine is free from these health compromising changes and to prevent any long term damage.
You have a sports or work related injury:
When a subluxation has been caused by repetitive stress or overuse at work or at play, spinal nerves may be impeded. This may in turn negatively affect one’s range of motion, strength, reflexes, endurance, and ultimately performance. Chiropractic can help your body restore normal nerve function and help you get back to your peak in both play and work.
You are simply in pain:
Interruption of proper nerve flow, for whatever reason, can eventually lead to pain, disability, and an overall decrease in the quality of life. You don’t need to live with it-we can help you get to the root of the problem, set your body up to heal, and restore your health.
You are pregnant:
The additional weight and stress on the framework of the body during pregnancy can cause pain in almost any part of the body. Because pregnant women are reluctant to take an over-the-counter and prescription pain relievers, they often turn to Chiropractic care to help alleviate pains associated with pregnancy. In addition, we can also offer lifestyle (especially nutrition and exercise) advice specific to the expectant mother.
You have a little one:
Babies and children grow quickly, and their muscles, ligaments and bones develop rapidly. A jump, tumble, or fall can jar the body, affect the spine (and possibly the nervous system), and then go undetected for years. Even simple factors, such as a heavy backpack or an ill-fitting car seat, can have negative effects on a child’s health.
Conditions seen:
Chiropractic care is effective for a wide variety of conditions. The following is a partial list of the most common.
- Allergies
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
