WHAT DOES A CHIROPRACTOR DO?
Chiropractors use various methods of specific adjustments to remove interference from your nervous system and balance the body to allow it to express its best healing potential.
Additionally, a Chiropractor may use ancillary therapies to supplement their treatment and help with restoring proper alignment and posture, correct dysfunctional movement patterns, release tight muscles and soft tissue, and decrease pain.
HOW MANY SESSIONS DO PEOPLE NEED?
The number of sessions depends on many factors, including but not limited to, the severity and chronicity of an individual’s injuries, the amount of inflammation in the patient’s body, and lifestyle choices outside of the Chiropractor’s office such as diet and exercise and sleep.
It is important that your Chiropractor do a consultation and examination at the onset and to periodically re-evaluate your condition throughout the course of care, to ensure that you are getting the proper care to achieve the results you desire.
What is a Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractic care uses adjustments to remove interference to your nervous system, allowing the body to balance and heal, whether it’s pain relief, structural realignment, improving posture, or improving the function of your muscles and organs.
This is not a claim that chiropractic adjustments treat disease, but rather people see improvements in conditions that are outside of the treatment area because the normal state of the body is to be well, and Chiropractic helps get your body balanced, and restore you back to that normal state again.
Additionally, Chiropractic can include ancillary services such as but not limited to, myofascial release, therapeutic modalities such as electric stimulation or Class IV Laser, and nutrition and exercise recommendations.
WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF CHIROPRACTIC CARE?
Chiropractic was officially founded in 1895 in Davenport, IA by D. D. Palmer. He performed the first adjustment on a local janitor, Harvey Lillard, who was hearing impaired. As a result of Dr. Palmer’s care, Mr. Lillard it is said that Mr. Lillard was able to regain much of his hearing.
Dr. Palmer began teaching this technique of Chiropractic, with the first school, Palmer College of Chiropractic, bearing his name. Since that time, many other schools developed, along with many other techniques and specialties of treatment.
Chiropractors first obtained the status of Doctors with the passing of the Chiropractic Initiative Act in 1922.
Predating Chiropractic, there are records from even civilizations thousands of years ago practicing the use of spinal manipulation to balance the body and allow it to recover from various conditions, but Chiropractic in its more specific and accurate form was developed by Dr. Palmer.
