Aid Your Body In Healing Disorders Itself Using Natural and Drug Free Means: Chiropractic Therapy

By David R. Lee

Chiropractic therapy is a holistic therapy that focuses on how the musculoskeletal structure of the body affects the body as a whole, including the central nervous system. The main idea with chiropractic therapy is to diminish aches and pains and to allow the body to naturally heal any problems. The way this is done is by a chiropractor manipulating certain areas of the body, such as muscles and the skeleton, and especially the spine.

The theory behind chiropractic therapy is that when vertebrate are poorly aligned, this causes blockages along the spinal column's nerve bundles. This is called subluxation. These are considered a disorder even if they don't cause any pain.

Every motion, thought, reflex, and sensation happens thanks to the central nervous system. It is how the body functions, therefore when there is subluxation, or a blockage, it affects someone more than they realize. That is why chiropractors believe once subluxation occurs it leads to illnesses and disorders of the body.

Now chiropractic therapy is widely known to help treat back and neck pain along with migraine headaches. After a serious trauma event such as a car accident, or if someone suffers from chronic joint pain, chiropractic therapy will be prescribed. Chiropractic therapy can be beneficial to anyone though, even if they do suffer from any pain, discomfort, or sickness.

However, there are also other uses for chiropractic manipulation besides the commonly thought of disorders like joint or neck pain, or migraine headaches. If one has asthma or PMS, for example, chiropractic therapy may help. When one is tense or under significant stress, this can cause subluxations in the spinal column, even if there has been no specific trauma. Realignment can help cure disorders such as asthma or PMS as well.

Before any chiropractic therapies or manipulations begin, the chiropractor will begin the first visit with an evaluation. The evaluation will cover ones complete medical history, their lifestyle and eating habits, and how frequently they exercise. After the evaluation is completed the chiropractor will give the person a physical exam and diagnose any current problems or disorders they may have.

The main thing to realize about chiropractic therapy is that it is a completely natural and drug free way to treat many disorders and the main goal is to return the body to its natural balance. For example, drugs tend to cover, hide, and ease the symptoms of disorders but truly do not aid in repairing the body. With chiropractic therapy the idea is to determine the cause of the symptoms, treat them, clear the nervous systems pathways, and allow the body to naturally heal itself as a result. In some cases a medical doctor and a chiropractor will consult with each other and work with one another to find the best suitable treatment for a particular treatment. - 14130
