Chiropractors provide natural, drugless, non-surgical health treatments and rely on the body’s inherent recuperative abilities. As Chiropractic Physicians, we typically diagnose and treat patients whose health problems are associated with the body’s muscular, nervous, and skeletal systems. In your treatment protocol, we incorporate the use of physiologic therapies like massage therapy, electrical nerve stimulation and traction. We may also recommend changes in your lifestyle, incorporation of exercise, nutrition and postural programs.

Like other health practitioners, chiropractors follow a standard routine to secure the information we need for diagnosis and treatment. On your first visit, we’ll take your medical history, conduct physical, neurological, and orthopedic examinations, and may order laboratory tests. We have found that X-rays and other diagnostics are important tools because of our emphasis on the spine and its proper function.

We also conduct a postural and spinal analysis because vertebral dysfunction may alter many important body functions by affecting the nervous system and causing a skeletal imbalance, which can cause pain or lower resistance to disease.

The Chiropractic Doctors of Back 2 Health Physical Medicine are experts at locating and analyzing improper placement of the vertebrae and correcting subluxations, enabling the body to return to its proper alignment. This is key in correcting the “vertebral subluxation complex,” which can interfere with your body’s normal functioning and long-term health.

The spine and the nerves that connect to it are part of an incredibly complex systems that require years of study to understand. While all doctors receive basic training on the health and care of the musculoskeletal system, from day one, chiropractors focus and specialize in non-invasive treatments for the spine to restore its proper function. All too often, patients suffering from disorders like sciatica, disc problems and chronic low back pain are only offered addicting pain medications or expensive and invasive surgery.

What Is A Chiropractic Adjustment?

The practice of chiropractic care is based around the concept that a healthy spine follows a normal alignment. When the spine becomes misaligned, discs and the nerves around them are easily compressed. Restoring natural alignment often relieves the pain and other symptoms that resisted more conventional treatments. The chiropractor applies a small amount of focused pressure to move vertebrae and to loosen joints that have become frozen in an incorrect position. Once the spine is aligned, it’s easier to access damaged nerves or relieve muscle tension that are also contributing to your discomfort.

Many people worry that the popping noises and feelings of adjustment are causing damage to the spine. However, your skeleton creaks and pops anytime you stretch, even if you can’t hear it or feel it. If you visit a trained and licensed professional, there is nearly no risk. Chiropractic adjustment has a far, far lower rate of associated risk than any other basic medical procedure. Taking an over the counter pain killer is 20 times more likely to harm you than a simple chiropractic adjustment.
