What is Chiropractic Care?

Like conventional medicine, chiropractic is based upon scientific principles of diagnosis through testing and empirical observations. Treatment is based upon the practitioner’s rigorous training and clinical experience. Unlike conventional medicine, which focuses on attempting to treat disease once it occurs, chiropractic attempts to improve the health of the individual in an effort to avoid illness in the first place. Most people would rather be healthy and avoid illness, if they could. This is one of the main reasons for the big upsurge in the popularity of chiropractic. People are recognizing the benefit of seeking an alternative to traditional medicine; one that will help them achieve and maintain optimal health.

The chiropractic approach to healthcare is holistic, meaning that it addresses your overall health. It recognizes that many lifestyle factors such as exercise, diet, rest, and environment impact your health. For this reason, chiropractors recommend changes in lifestyle’ eating, exercise, and sleeping habits in addition to chiropractic care.

Chiropractic is so much more than simply a means of relieving pain. Ultimately, the goal of chiropractic treatment is to restore the body to its natural state of optimal health. Since the body has a remarkable ability to heal itself and to maintain its own health, the primary focus is simply to remove those things which interfere with the body’s normal healing ability.

Chiropractors understand that one of the main causes of pain is the restriction and abnormal motion of the vertebrae in the spinal column called segmental dysfunction. Chiropractic works by removing this segmental dysfunction in the spine, thereby relieving pressure and irritation on the nerves, restoring joint mobility, and returning the body back to a state of normal function.

Numerous studies have demonstrated that chiropractic care is one of the most effective treatments for back pain, neck pain, headaches, whiplash, sports injuries and many other types of musculoskeletal problems. It has even been shown to be effective in reducing high blood pressure, decreasing the frequency of childhood ear infections, and improving the symptoms of asthma.

More and more scientific research is demonstrating the tremendous detrimental impact that segmental dysfunction has on the tissue of the body. In order to be truly healthy, it is vital that your nervous system be functioning free of interference from segmental dysfunction. Chiropractors are the only health professionals trained in the detection, location, and correction of the segmental dysfunction through chiropractic care.

At Sovar Chiropractic, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic care to each and every patient.

How Does Chiropractic Work?

Chiropractic doctors practice natural, drugless, non-invasive health care and rely on the body’s ability to self-heal. Sounds ideal, but just how does it work?

We Look At The Whole Picture

Like other healthcare providers, we follow a standard routine to gain information about the patient. We consult, review the case history, conduct a physical examination, and may request laboratory analyses and/or x-rays. Unlike other healthcare providers, however, chiropractic physicians also conduct a careful analysis of the patient’s structure and pay particular attention to the spine. We also ask you about your life- Do you eat well? Exercise at all? How do you deal with stress? Do you have children? What do you do for work? And so on.

We Seek The Origin of the Problem

Using this information, a diagnosis is made. Included in the diagnosis is the probable reason for your pain or discomfort. It is important to note that chiropractors seek the origin of the illness in order to eliminate it-we do not simply treat the symptoms. If your roof is leaking, do you simply catch the drips in a bucket for years on end, or do you repair the roof to prevent it from leaking? Similarly, if the headache you’ve had all week is being caused by a joint restriction, do you take pain killers indefinitely, or do you initiate range of motion back into the joint to relieve the pain? You get the picture.

We fix the origin of the problem

Chiropractors have a term for joint restrictions: segmental dysfunction. Segmental dysfunction is when a vertebral segment is not moving correctly. This can cause problems to arise in the body areas supplied by the nerves exiting this vertebral segment. Think of it as a kink in a garden hose. We see the problem at the end of the hose because there is no water coming out, but the origin of the problem is at the kink further up the hose. The same goes for our spine. Segmental dysfunction can be caused by any number of incidents, from birth trauma to an auto accident to simple repetition or overuse.

Who is Chiropractic For?

Chiropractic Care for Seniors

Our doctors will design a custom treatment program to help seniors maintain health, increase mobility, and reduce chronic pain.

Many patients find pain relief through chiropractic adjustments. This can reduce patients’ use of pain medications, thereby helping patients avoid the side effects of the medications. Many chiropractors also advise on nutrition, exercises and ergonomics, all of which aid in fall prevention.

Pregnancy and Pre-Pregnancy Chiropractic

It is best to begin chiropractic care before you decide to become pregnant. This will allow our doctors opportunity to access your needs and to get your pregnancy started on the right foot. Our doctors will speak with you about important aspects of your lifestyle that could influence your ability to become pregnant and hold your pregnancy, including proper nutrition, and exercise. Our doctor’s goal is to make sure that you are as healthy and comfortable as possible during your pregnancy and your upcoming delivery.

Pediatric Chiropractic

Children, just like adults can benefit from regular chiropractic care. Injuries that children receive during their everyday lives and while playing sports can cause many symptoms that can be treated by chiropractors. This includes soreness, discomfort, stiffness, or neck pain. Our doctors understands that younger patients can have some anxiety about chiropractic care, so he caters his treatments to be gentle and comfortable.

Athletics/Sports Injuries

Chiropractic care has been used to add professional athletes and weekend warriors alike for decades. One of the biggest benefits of chiropractic for those with active lifestyles is injury prevention. Making sure that your spine is aligned properly and identifying any possible weaknesses in muscles and joints can help prevent minor or even serious injuries. Once an injury does occur chiropractic care can assist in the recovery process by reducing pain and decreasing the injury’s severity. Lastly, ongoing chiropractic care has been shown to increase range of motion and enhance overall athletic performance.
