CHIROPRACTIC CARE EXPLAINED

Turn on your TV any time of day or night, and you will be bombarded with
ads for new drug treatments. From chronic depresssion to acid reflux, drug
companies urge you to improve your health by increasing your medication. Is
it possible to maintain optimal health in a natural way? Without resorting to
drugs that may have serious side effects?

Chiropractors have long known about the body’s amazing capacity to

promote its own inner healing. The practice of chiropractic dates back to
1895 and has traditionally worked in partnership with primary health care.
Today, chiropractic is increasingly recognized among the greater health care
profession as a key component of patient wellness. As one popular New
York City chiropractor put it, “Ten years ago if you practiced chiropractic
manipulation...you couldn't get published and were never invited to
meetings. Now I can't keep up with the invitations."

Who Can Benefit from Chiropractic Care?

New York City, one “hot spot” for chiropractic care, has attracted many
expert practitioners. New York is, in a sense, reflective of developments in
the practice throughout North America. When a number of NYC
chiropractors were surveyed about their patients’ experiences, they
offered some interesting observations about the broad range of people who
can benefit from their services:

Newborns: Chiropractors often spot birth-related anomalies that pediatricians

fail to detect. Some defects are best corrected soon after birth to
increase the infant’s chances of growing normally.
Children: As kids grow, the likelihood of developmental problems increases.
The causes are often related to trauma experienced during the many
activities that children participate in. Detecting and correcting such
problems immediately can prevent the onset of serious conditions later
in life.
Active Adults: Adults involved in activities requiring stamina, endurance, and
balance can improve their performace and protect their overall health
by involving a chiropractor in their health and fitness plan. Additionally,
as many of the polled NYC chiropractors noted, they can prevent
debilitating spinal-related issues. Chiropractors can identify
misalignment problems before they result in permanent injuries and
chronic pain.
Pregnant Mothers: Expert chiropractors can help expectant mothers with
matters ranging from adjusting to a changed center of gravity to
planning a natural, safe delivery.
The Elderly: We know more than ever now before about prolonging and
enriching life through natural means. Chiropractors have long been at
the forefront of promoting natural wellness and abundant quality of life
at all ages.
The Functions of Chiropractic Care

Most people wonder about what chiropractic care actually does for the
body. So what did that panel of NYC chiropractors have to say about the
functions of chiropractic?

Simply put, chiropractors focus on the physiological relationship between

the spine and the other bodily systems. One of the first parts of the human
anatomy to develop is the spine. Not only does the spine support the entire
body, but the human nervous system is protected by the spinal column. Any
biomechanical or structural problem that occurs in the spine impacts other
bodily functions.

Chiropractors might be viewed as the vigilant watchdogs of health care.

Their sensitivity to the onset of spinal-related problems helps them to treat
problems before they become aggravated and chronic. Chiropractors,
without drugs or invasive techniques, manage to prevent debilitating
illnesses in their patients.
