The Spinal Column
From Back Pain To General
Health
Many people
initially visit chiropractors for problems relating to pain. But what
happens to them as they continue their care? In two studies of 153 and 311
chiropractic patients who initially suffered from back, neck and other
pains, two studies revealed the following: as patients continued care
after their initial complaints cleared up they began to experience an
improvement in their perception of health which included improved general
health, more vitality, and better social functioning. These findings
confirm other studies and over a century of chiropractic observations -
chiropractic is not for disease but for improving physical and mental
health.
Yes, millions of
people see chiropractors for various health problems but chiropractic is
not for diseases, it is for you. It is a procedure that locates, and
removes a deep form of stress and spinal damage called vertebral
subluxations.
No matter what
condition you may have: sciatica, back pain, headache, ear infection,
menstrual disorders, depression or any other health problem, a
chiropractic spinal adjustment is very badly needed. It has made the
difference between suffering and wellness, between health and disease,
between drugs and surgery or natural healing for millions. (1)
The
Chiropractic Approach
Chiropractors
help connect you with the wisdom of your body, your inner doctor.
Chiropractors correct a deep stress inside you called the vertebral
subluxation complex, which causes nerve pressure and stress on your spinal
nerves, joints and discs. This disconnects you from your optimum health
and healing.
Just as you need
dental, vision and blood pressure checkups so you need your spine checked.
It can improve your physical and mental health.
Please come in
for a spinal checkup and bring your family with you.
Pregnancy,
Labor and Chiropractic
Pregnancy and
labor are more comfortable for women under chiropractic care. Spinal
problems are common during pregnancy, up to 90% of pregnant women have
them. The chiropractic drug-less approach is ideally suited for pregnancy
care. Chiropractic can also help women with premature contractions, back
labor, low back pain, morning sickness and can help prevent post-partum
depression. Believe it or not, a study by the American Medical Association
revealed that women who have chiropractic care enjoy easier pregnancies
and deliveries. (2)
Asthma and
Chiropractic
A 6-year-old boy
who had asthma for three years was using aerosol inhalers up to three
times a day, every day. After a few adjustments he could run during soccer
games and, according to his mother "almost never used his inhaler." He
began to sleep more soundly, "hardly ever had bouts with mucous clogged
nasal passages" and inhalant use stopped. (5) February 2008 Newsletter | (download) Right-Click --> Save File As |
