Chiropractic care offers a way to treat neurologic, muscular and skeletal pain and disorders. Pain can arise from a variety of issues, including injury, overuse of muscles, torn ligaments, connective tissue inflammation, accidents or even simple poor posture over a long period of time. In many cases, however, pain is caused by misalignment of the spine or skeleton. Our chiropractors and professional staff at Foundation Chiropractic help with all kinds of pain, whatever the cause, in a safe, effective, natural way.
Pain is the body's mechanism to signal something internal is malfunctioning. Conventional medicine addresses pain by treating the symptoms, rather than checking to find the root causes of the patient's distress. Consequently, and all too often, the remedies offered by medical doctors include surgery and painkillers. Surgery may be necessary but only after other more natural avenues have been fully explored and found lacking. Painkillers are expensive, often have unpleasant to severe side effects which could cause other health problems, and potentially become addictive. By contrast, chiropractic care uses specific adjustments which have been scientifically tested and demonstrated to be safe and useful over a long period of time. Chiropractors focus on the entire patient, and on the body's own natural, built-in recuperative powers.
At your first session with our chiropractor, you will meet with our staff who will develop a comprehensive history, do a thorough examination and take any necessary x-rays. A comprehensive care plan, designed to improve your general health and well-being, rather than just treat symptoms, will emerge as the result of this consultation.
Chiropractic adjustments are varied and dependent on what the doctor’s find on a visit to visit basis. They are designed to relax over-tense muscles and connective tissue. These adjustments of the spinal column or skeleton are designed to place the body back in its correct position. Adjustments can be done by hand or using various devices designed to fit the natural shape of the body. Once the skeleton is correctly aligned, the body can begin to use its own natural healing properties to reduce inflammation and overall pain.
