Types Of Chiropractic Care

Your chiropractic doctor will
recommend treatment based on
your spinal health.

Chiropractic care is a non surgical, drug free way to provide natural relief from a variety of conditions. When it comes to your health and well being, deciding the appropriate type of chiropractic care is very important. There is a wide selection of chiropractic treatments and types of care available for you to choose from. The frequency and care type chosen must be based on your current health situation and what your body needs. The different options for care provided by most chiropractic doctors are;

•   Relief Care,
•   Corrective Care, and
•   Wellness Care.

Whether you are looking for simple pain relief or maximum performance, chiropractic has a proven track record and just might be the answer you are searching for.

Relief Care is focused on providing immediate alleviation of pain and discomfort resulting from some form of trauma or injury is the goal of this type of treatment. Relief care is highly effective in easing you of your symptoms and provides effective pain relief, but does not eliminate the cause of it. Although symptoms are the first thing to disappear with this type of care, it is important to keep in mind that they are usually the last stage of a developing problem. If you only remove symptoms, the underlying problem will still be present and the symptoms are likely to return in the near future. A good analogy would be constantly airing up a tire that keeps going flat, but never actually getting the hole in the tire patched. This would be an effort in futility. The reason the tire keeps losing air needs to be addressed; the same way the underlying cause of your pain needs to be determined and corrected.

Chiropractic Corrective Care is designed with that purpose in mind and will do just that, patch the hole. Corrective care focuses on spinal integrity and promotes proper nervous system function. The nervous system controls and coordinates our organs and every cell in our bodies. A vertebral subluxation or misalignment of the spine may irritate nerve roots and the blood vessels which branch off from the spinal cord between each of the vertebrae. This irritation then causes pain and dysfunction as well as neurological imbalance in the normal body processes. Because of this process and the symptoms that occur, we know that a correction of the spinal vertebrae is necessary. As you can see, the focus of corrective care goes beyond symptom and pain management. It addresses the problem vertebra and restores normal positioning, mobility and function. Corrective care involves a repetitive frequency of adjustments that restore a normal working state to the spine that is less likely to suffer from re-injury. By addressing the source of the problem, instead of focusing on the symptoms, this level of care will give your body the edge it needs to repair a neglected problem and put you on the path to wellness care.

Wellness Care is the dynamic process of becoming aware of, taking responsibility for and making choices that directly contribute to one's well being. It is the integration of body, mind and spirit and the ongoing development of one's health. In other words, wellness care is taking action that reduces the likelihood of problems developing in the first place. Wellness care can be compared to proper tire maintenance. Having routine tire checks and rotations allow you to locate and address any problems: a nail in the tire, uneven tread wear or the need for new tires; thus preventing an accident or being stranded because of a flat or blowout. Wellness care is intended to help you retain the benefits you've achieved from the relief and corrective care and prevent the possibility of the condition's recurrence; especially in the case of your spine. When the body is working properly, maximum function and mobility are the result. Chiropractic doctors recognize the value of wellness, preventative care and the powerful effect it can have on your overall quality of life. With regular adjustments, spinal health is maintained which encourages proper nervous system function, increased mobility and a restoration of the body's inborn ability to repair itself.
