Chiropractic services focus on the relationship between the spinal column and the nervous system. Through holistic practices such as spinal adjustments, chiropractic doctors alleviate problems caused by the misalignment of the vertebrae. Chiropractors do not use surgery or drugs in their practice, but they may also incorporate many other natural therapies besides spinal manipulation, including: craniosacral therapy, visualizations, breath work, herbal or vitamin supplements, all holistic parts of the fitness spa lifestyle. The chiropractic approach to health care is holistic, focusing on the patient's overall well-being. It recognizes that many factors affect health, including exercise, diet, rest, environment and heredity.
Chiropractors diagnose and treat patients whose health problems are associated with the body's muscular, nervous and skeletal system; especially the spine. Chiropractors believe interference with these systems impairs normal functions and lowers resistance to disease. They also hold that spinal or vertebral dysfunction may alter many important body functions by affecting the nervous system. Skeletal imbalance through joint or articular dysfunction, especially in the spine, can cause pain. Visits to a chiropractor can greatly benefit the patient to relieve any of these symptoms and to better the overall functionality of one's body. |
