A branch of the healing arts, chiropractic health care is based on the scientific fact that our nervous system controls or influences the function of every cell in our body. Interference to the nervous system (caused by the vertebral subluxation complex) will effect how the nervous system relates to the cells to which it travels.
The term “chiropractic” comes from the Greek words “cheiro and praktikos” meaning “done by hand.” The chiropractic model of health is centered on the philosophy that the human body, being knit together in a wonderful way, will heal itself given the right opportunity and circumstances. Doctors of Chiropractic essentially promote the healing process by minimizing nerve interference.
There are three phases of chiropractic care: relief, correction and wellness. In the relief phase, the goal is to substantially reduce or eliminate pain. The number of visits necessary to accomplish this will depend on the patient’s age, underlying spinal condition, and other lifestyle choices. Restoring the body to normal or maximum function is the goal of the correction phase. The purpose of the wellness phase of care is to prevent relapses of previous conditions and to address new conditions before symptoms appear. When maximum improvement has been achieved, an appropriate level of care will be suggested to “maintain” the corrections made during the first two phases.
