Chiropractic Treatment And Chiropractors

Chiropractic was created by Daniel David Palmer in 1895 as a natural healing therapy

. The word chiropractic has been derived from a combination of the Greek words chiro and praktikis, meaning done by hand. Chiropractic treatment avoids using drugs and surgery and draws on the bodys inherent ability to recuperate itself. It also involves changes to lifestyle that include exercise, diet and sleeping habits. Chiropractic is a Philosophy, art, and science of things natural. A good Chiropractor uses all three parts of Chiropractic to achieve a common goal between the patient and the doctor. A good clinic is unique in that both doctors have the same philosophy and scientific principles, but the art of Chiropractic, the technique, is different and unique to each doctor. A chiropractor normally uses x-rays and other diagnostic images and laboratory tests to analyze the condition of body structure. While some chiropractors make use of their hands to treat patients, others use instruments. A chiropractor uses light and heat therapy as also massage and water therapy. Other techniques adopted by chiropractors include soft tissue manipulation, trigger-point manipulation or deep tissue massage. Some chiropractors work solo , while some are a part of larger group or chiropractic institution or hospital. A chiropractor is a physician who takes care of the health problems associated with the muscular, nervous and skeletal systems. A chiropractic practitioner employs a holistic approach to the patients well being. Chiropractors are known for performing "adjustments." Adjustments are made to the body bone structure by applying a calculated force in a specific direction, and it results in a desired change in the position and motion of backbones. Force can be applied with hands or using small instrument called an Activator. You may hear a popping noise, which occur from gas and lubricating fluids in the spinal joints shifting. Usually one receives treatment on a chiropractic table designed of several parts that can be moved to assist the chiropractor in performing the adjustment. The role of the chiropractor is to improve your nervous system function overall, rather than treating a specific disease or ailments. Chiropractors can effectively treat patients of all ages, including children, babies and the elderly, with gentle adjustments. Chiropractic care is very safe and is thought to facilitate the body heal itself. Adjustments are made to the structure which correct what are called "subluxations." Subluxations may occur when the joints of the spine fail to move properly and/or spinal bones move out of alignment, which results in interference with the nerve messages from the brain to the body or the other way round. Muscle balance, organ function, and the body's production of hormones and chemicals can be affected. Such disorder can exist without causing any obvious symptoms, since only about 10 percent of nerves actually perceive pain.

It is important to know and understand that chiropractic treatment is not without risks. Spinal manipulations and neck manipulations must be carefully executed otherwise the repercussions can be serious. You can discuss about your chiropractic treatment with your medical doctor to rule out any possibility of erroneous diagnosis.

Such disorder if overlooked for a long time can cause serious health issue and hence should be taken care of a early stages. Chronic neck pain for example if not taken care a early stage can lead to painful day/nights and will take a long time to heal back later. So it is advisable to consult a chiropractor as early as you discover such disorder.
