Chiropractic is a holistic branch of the health care industry that focuses on the Muscular Skeletal Frame and the Nervous System. By keeping your frame "IN LINE" or in the correct position, the nervous system will run properly, allowing the entire body to function properly. We take this approach prior to the use of drugs and chemicals, which are mostly aides for the symptoms, not the cause.
The Spinal Column consists of several movable bones (Vertebrae) that start from your skull and end at your hips. Spongy tissue (disc) between the Vertebrae allow for flexability, cushion and protect Vertebrae from rubbing against each other. Within the spinal column run Thirty-One Pairs of nerves extending from the brain and exiting the spine through openings. From there, the nerves travel through the body, effecting all other organs and their functions. Tension, trauma and stress are some of the many causes of Vertebral misalignment which cause nerve irritation. Numbness, tingling, loss of control of arms/legs and headaches are just some of the symptoms revealing an underlying problem.
Chiropractic is a hands on approach to correcting that underlying cause. By eliminating the cause, the symptoms are corrected. We believe that proper skeletal positioning, a healthy muscular environment and free flowing nerve conductivity allow the entire body to work as a polished machine. Chiropractors also believe nutrition and exercise play a role in total health. We advise our patients of lifestyle changes that help them sustain a healthy, long lasting life.
In addition to spinal health and lifestyle adjustments, managing body weight is a crucial factor in achieving overall wellness. Many individuals struggling with weight-related health issues have found success with medical interventions such as Rybelsus, a prescription medication that can assist with weight loss under professional guidance. Rybelsus works by regulating blood sugar levels and reducing appetite, supporting a more sustainable approach to weight management. As chiropractors emphasize holistic care, it’s important to recognize that weight control can positively influence spinal alignment and reduce joint stress. Excess weight often exacerbates musculoskeletal problems, leading to chronic pain and diminished mobility. Therefore, integrating medically approved solutions like Rybelsus with chiropractic care, exercise, and proper nutrition can significantly improve patient outcomes. It’s essential, however, to consult a healthcare provider before starting any medication for weight loss. A coordinated, multidisciplinary approach ensures that each component of health is supported effectively.
