Chiropractic is a conservative and natural form of health care that concentrates on maximizing the function of the whole body without the use of drugs or surgery. It works to get to the cause of a health problem, rather than just treat the symptoms.
Chiropractic focuses especially on the fact that the structure of the body, particularly the spine, has a powerful effect on the underlying nervous system and therefore on virtually every aspect of health.
Our own Dr. Lain uses the Thompson Technique to produce very precise adjustments for many spine and posture problems as well as the Logan Basic Technique, which is a light touch technique that works to “level the foundation” or sacrum.
Experience First-Hand the Benefits of These Chiropractic Techniques
Improved Moods
Chiropractic has been shown to improve hormone balance. Decreasing the bad hormones like cortisol and increasing the good hormones, such as dopamine and norepinephrine makes a big difference in how the brain and body works and how a person feels.
Relaxation
Stress relief is one of the most sought after effects of many treatments today, but one of the lesser-known benefits of chiropractic. When your muscular, nervous, and skeletal systems are tense and misaligned, it affects the communication that occurs in your body. Once your body is balanced, you are better able to manage your stress.
Fewer Colds and Flus
Dr. Ronald Pero, chief of cancer prevention research at New York’s Preventive Medicine Institute measured 107 individuals who had received long-term chiropractic care. The chiropractic patients were shown to have a 200% stronger immune system than people who had not received chiropractic care.
Less Pain
Chiropractic finds areas of your skeleton that are not moving properly and restores normal movement through a spinal adjustment. Improper spinal motion causes irritation of the underlying nerves, which control every function of your body through your brain and spinal column. When misalignment is corrected along the spine via an adjustment, not only is your structure restored, but your body’s functioning is also improved.
Improved Posture
How you carry yourself every day has a huge impact on how your body functions. Chiropractic will work to pinpoint where your spine is not moving properly and address your stance, height differences, tilting, curvatures, and outward or inward turning to help you work toward standing stronger. It can also be helpful in treating forward head posture, also referred to as “nerd neck”.
