Chiropractic’s role in health care

Posted Jul 29 2010 12:29pm

I was reminded today of the power of a chiropractic adjustment.  I saw one of my patients who had knee trouble that was unresponsive to physical therapy, cortisone injections, anti-flammatory and muscle relaxant medications.  This patient responded to adjustments of the knee, as well as the pelvis subluxation.

I know what you are thinking.  What is a subluxation?  A subluxation is when a joint goes out of place and causes pressure against a nerve.  Not directly on the nerve, but rather it increases the rate at which the nerve fires causing pain, discomfort, and a loss of range of motion.  A subluxation also can initiate the inflammation cascade, which can bring more pressure and pain into a region.

Chiropractic is the best option for any musculoskeletal condition.  Headaches, back pain, sciatica, stabbing pain in between your shoulders, frozen shoulder, pain down the arm, etc.  If it comes on suddenly it is most likely your nerves systems being influenced by your bones, skeletal system.

That is why being adjusted to so vitally important to your health.  A healthy functioning body will be able to fight off virtually anything.  Getting adjusted not only allows you to feel good, but your body will be healthier too.
