What is Chiropractic &/or what is a Chiropractor?
Chiropractic is a primary-contact health care professions that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health.
Doctors of Chiropractic – often referred to as chiropractors. Practice a drug-free, hands-on approach to health care that includes patient examination, diagnosis and treatment. Chiropractors have broad diagnostic skills and are also trained to recommend therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises, as well as to provide nutritional, dietary and lifestyle counseling.
Chiropractors use a combination of treatments, all of which are predicated on the specific needs of the individual patient. After taking a complete history and diagnosing a patient, a chiropractor can develop and carry out a comprehensive treatment/management plan, recommend therapeutic exercise and other non-invasive therapies, and provide nutritional, dietary and lifestyle counselling.
For many conditions, such as lower back pain, chiropractic care is frequently the primary method of treatment. Where other conditions exist, chiropractic care may complement or support medical treatment by relieving the musculoskeletal aspects associated with the condition.
Chiropractic care may also be used to provide symptomatic relief for patients with chronic conditions. According to patient surveys, by treating the musculoskeletal elements of such disorders, chiropractic treatment has been shown to improve the general well-being of the patient.
There are many reasons to seek chiropractic care:
· Back pain
· Neck pain
· Headache
· Whiplash
· Strains and sprains
· Repetitive strain injury (RSI)
· Work and sports injuries
· Arthritis
· Limited range of motion in the back, shoulder, neck or limbs
· General health and well-being
Chiropractic is a regulated health profession, recognized by statute in all Australian states. Almost 2 million patients in Australia rely on chiropractic care every year to help them live healthy, active lives.
How to find a Chiropractor that is a perfect match for you and your family
The Chiropractor you want will depend on your health goals (Symptom relief or Optimal health).
Symptom Relief Chiropractor: Primarily focus on symptom relief like a standard G.P., Physiotherapist, Osteopath etc. They care for the spine by adjusting only to reduce pain. They use massage, ultra sound, tens units and electric stimulation as an artificial way of relaxing muscles.
Unnatural electric energy entering the cells of the body will destroy or mutate those cells and because the heart and other organs work by electrical impulses, these artificial currents will alter their function.
Likewise, massage therapy is designed to relieve the tension and pressure in muscles. Whilst it feels good at the time and shortly thereafter, it does absolutely nothing to address or correct why those muscles are tight, nor does it do anything to prevent further re-occurrences.
This type of chiropractic care determines you care by your symptoms and by your insurance coverage. While this may seem like a benefit because it could reduce the cost and lower your treatment time, you are actually wasting your time and money. You may get some temporary relief, but your spine and nerve system are left uncorrected and your health is no better off than when you started care. In fact, you might even be worse off. Because your spine and nerve system are still in their improper position, they will continue to degenerate silently and allow organs to malfunction and become diseased. When the red oil light in your car goes on, it would be foolish to put tape over it to cover-up that signal! Further damage would obviously occur.
“The body has an innate ability to heal itself. Western Doctors are frozen in the disease-oriented model, curing disease with drugs and surgery, rather than on prevention and stimulating the body’s natural healing power. Most treatments just prevent the disease from expressing itself symptomatically. Symptoms disappear but the disease actually gets progressively worse.” - Dr. Andrew Weil, M.D. Harvard University
Corrective Care Chiropractors: Corrective Care Chiropractors are concerned with actually correcting your spine and function of your central nervous system, to not only eliminate symptoms, but to improve overall health and prevent disease.
Like changing teeth alignment in your mouth with braces, the duration of care and frequency of adjustments is essential to changing the bone alignment in your spine. It is also necessary to use very specific, highly advanced techniques in order to get the subluxation in your spine corrected and see those improvements on x-rays. (Infrequent visits of non-specific manipulative techniques will make no significant or permanent changes to spinal structures and may even cause damage)
While all doctors want their patients to be out of pain, the focus of Corrective Chiropractic Care is to remove interference to the central nervous system (subluxation) through a very precise program of spinal adjustments, stretches, and exercises that are unique for each individual.
Understand that insurance is designed to pay for the cost of fast relief to a new accident or injury and not for correction of long term, old problems and the prevention of future ones.
Wholeness, proper function and the restoration of health can only be achieved through long-term, strategic, disciplined action.
