All about Chiropractic and its Benefits

Many people all over the world are turning to Chiropractors to maintain good health. Chiropractic is a natural approach to health. The brain and nervous system control everything in the human body. When the body does not function optimally there is usually nerve interference. Nerve Interference can be caused by any emotional, physical or chemical stress. Chiropractors do not claim to cure any diseases or treat symptoms but through regular chiropractic treatments many benefits come about in a persons health. Maintaining proper control of your nervous system can help a person stay active and enjoy a full and long life. Working for a Chiropractor I have come to appreciate the many benefits of regular adjustments. I will share with you information that I have learned over the years. I will include some great chiropractic products that would make great gifts for chiropractors, assistants, students, ect.

How Does Chiropractic Work 

Chiropractic works through small adjustments made by the chiropractor by freeing the nerve interference that is preventing the body from functioning at its optimal level. If the nervous system is not functioning the way it should the body is prone to more sickness, disease and pain. Chiropractic removes these barriers so the body can function at its greatest potential. By maintaining proper spinal health many benefits will be seen. More energy, better posture, stronger immune system and increased vitality are just some of the health benefits.

What is a Subluxation 

I'm sure many people have never heard the term subluxation or know what it is. A subluxation is the improper position or motion of the bones of the spine. This can cause irritation of the nerves and compromise nervous system function. The causes of subluxation range from things such as improper lifting, falls, accidents, bad posture, poor nutrition, hormonal problems, drug or alcohol abuse, stress or traumas. Many subluxations can only be resolved by seeking help from a chiropractic doctor.

What is an Adjustment 

Chiropractic adjustments involve the moving or nudging of the bones of the spine. Different Chiropractic doctors use different methods to perform these adjustments.

Some of the methods that are used are:

Instruments (adjuster, activator)
electro therapy
ultra sound
laser treatment
hot & cold therapies
the doctor's hands
electric massager

Each Chiropractor is trained in the methods they choose. After doing a consultation and exam the doctors create a plan of treatment specific to each individual.

About Chiropractic 

CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENT (www.docgunter.com)

This video shows how chiropractic adjustments are performed by Dr. Stephen R. Gunter, DC. It is an actual office visit and was posted for educational purposes and to promote dialogue. For those interested in this field, this is a great video to observe. If there are questions, Dr. Gunter will check in to answer. Frequently asked question: "What was that clicky thing he was pushing on him? He does it at 4:26" Answer by Dr. Gunter (BackCarePlus) "This is clearly the most common question I get. That is an adjusting instrument called an Activator. It is spring loaded for rapid delivery of a force to move one vertebra at a time and has some advantages (and disadvantages, too) compared to traditional manual techniques. This treatment sequence shows several distinct methods of correction, and I commonly combine them in the manner shown, although there are times that one single method may be more desirable on a given treatment session."
