Guide to Understanding Chiropractic Care
While more and more people are beginning to take advantage of the natural healing and relief a chiropractor can bring, there are still many who are missing out. Often, this is due to a lack of understanding or clarity. Dr. Thomas and the team at Baltimore Chiropractic Clinic of Baltimore, OH, have put together this quick guide to provide the knowledge people need to seek chiropractic care.
The Chiropractic Purpose
The chiropractic field is one built around the understanding that the human body has the ability to heal. When everything functions properly, natural processes can occur that take care of you and keep you healthy and pain-free.
However, daily tasks, accidents, and more can cause injuries that prevent these processes from taking place. Chiropractors focus on restoring motion segment integrity and removing the issues that are preventing health and healing so that the body can do what is necessary.
Benefits Patients Gain From Visiting a Chiropractor
Restoring motion segment integrity to the musculoskeletal system is not only beneficial for the musculoskeletal system itself but also for your general health and wellness. When motion segment integrity is impaired, it impacts the nervous system, blood flow, and more. When motion segment integrity is restored, it leads to many different benefits. These include but are not limited to:
- Reduction in back, neck, hip, shoulder, or knee pain
- Reduction in headaches and migraines
- Improved range of motion
- Improved blood flow
- Better nervous system function, which leads to improved mental clarity and mood regulation
- Improved quality of sleep
- Increased joint function
These are just a few examples, but there are many more potential benefits, depending on what you suffer from.
Chiropractic Techniques
Chiropractors use natural techniques that help empower the body to do its job. Some techniques used include:
- Adjustments to correct motion segment integrity issues
- Spinal decompression to break-up muscular fixations involving the spinal column, relieve pressure on the nerves, and address disc issues
- Cryotherapy to help reduce muscle spasms and pain
- Dry needling to stimulate and improve tissue healing response
Chiropractors combine techniques such as these and more in a customized treatment plan according to your specific needs.
