What is chiropractic? Chiropractic is a branch of the healing arts based upon the understanding that good health depends, in part, upon a normally functioning nervous system (especially the spine, and the nerves extending from the spine to all parts of the body). "Chiropractic" comes from the Greek word chiropraktikos, meaning "effective treatment by hand." Chiropractic stresses the idea that the cause of many disease processes begins with the body's inability to adapt to its environment. It looks to address these diseases not by the use of drugs and chemicals, but by locating and adjusting subluxations (misalignments) of the spine causing improper functions in the body. What conditions benefit from chiropractic care? Although chiropractic is commonly believed to be a back pain treatment, chiropractic does not treat the pain but works on correcting the cause and effect of the symptoms. As the body heals and function is restored symptoms reduce. Just like low back pain responds well to care not because the pain is being treated but because the body starts to function better so do a variety of other conditions, such as migraine headaches, neck and shoulder pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, and infantile colic. Does Chiropractic hurt? Under normal circumstances, adjustments don't hurt. The patient may experience a minor amount of discomfort during the adjustment which lasts only seconds. Is Chiropractic safe? Chiropractic adjustments are extremely safe. The risk factor is estimated to be in excess of one million to one which is way lower than the risk factors of pharmacology and certainly surgery. What kind of education and training do doctors of chiropractic have? Chiropractors receive an education that emphasizes health and wellness neuromuscular diagnosis and treatment. Preparation for the practice of chiropractic is concentrated on three areas of learning; basic training in the biological and health sciences (anatomy, physiology, histology, biochemistry, clinical and radiological diagnosis); specialized training in the chiropractic discipline (theoretical studies, practice, diagnosis and applications); and extensive clinical training. Have any studies been published showing what chiropractic is effective for? Several studies have documented the effective relief of back pain while under chiropractic care. More recent studies have shown chiropractic having a positive effective on infantile colic and migraine headaches. It is still important to realize that chiropractic does not treat the condition but that the conditions improve with chiropractic care. What can I expect on my first visit? The first thing a chiropractor will do is ask you about the health complaints about which you are chiefly concerned. The DC will also ask about your family history, dietary habits, other care you may have had (chiropractic, osteopathic, medical, etc.), your job, and other questions designed to help determine the nature of your illness and the best way to go about getting your body back onto the healing path. A physical examination will be performed in accordance with your DC's clinical judgment, which may include x-rays and other diagnostic procedures. In addition, a careful spinal examination and analysis will be performed to detect any structural abnormalities which may be affecting or causing your condition. All of these elements are important components of your total health profile, and vital to the doctor of chiropractic in evaluating your problem.
