Does Chiropractic Help?
Most people come in to see a Chiropractor initially because they are in pain. The fact is that Chiropractic care is amazingly effective in dealing with back pain, headaches, radiating pain into arms or legs, or a host of other painful conditions simply because it deals with these conditions where they are most often initiated, where pain is generated...at the level of the nerves. If you are looking for relief from pain and are not sure whether or not to try Chiropractic care...take the plunge.
Recently, a patient came to me from a referral..very unsure..somewhat skeptical..with neck pain as well as low back pain and sciatica. Both of these conditions had followed her through many therapy attempts.
She did allow me to adjust her the first day. The next day my front desk came to me and said:
“Now don't get a big head, but Karen called and said that she had slept without pain for the whole night for the first time in years after that first treatment.”
Recently a leading Cardiologist was interviewed on a morning TV program after having listened to his Chiropractor describe how often his patients with high blood pressure responded to his care with a lowering of their blood pressure..often requiring them to go off the blood pressure medicine. This cardiologist set up a double blind experiment to test this scientifically. His conclusion... somewhat to his surprise... was that the Chiropractic adjustments lowered the test patients high blood pressure more effectively then even a combination of blood pressure medications... and without the somewhat disturbing side affects of these medications.
DOES THIS MAKE SENSE?... SHORT ANSWER... YES!
Think about how complicated and wonderful you are. Billions of cells all being run by your brain, through your nervous system. Think about that protective shell offered by the spine around your spinal cord. When out of alignment that protection can break down and instead... cause pressure along the precious nerve roots, and that... is not good!
So, if you are having a problem... come in. I operate with your goals in mind. I let my patients set their goals in care, and offer the counsel to assist that. If you look for pain relief... that one is usually easiest. If you are looking to thrive and make sure you are not bent over in pain as you progress in life... that is also a common goal. I often ask patients how much younger they wish to feel... then we set up a program to achieve that... exercise, nutrition, chiropractic care... all with the goal to re-set that biologic clock that people carry internally. Feel younger at 60 than you did at 50..why not?
