Dallas Chiropractor
Chiropractic treatment is a simple yet amazing concept. If the spinal column is lined up properly, the nerves, arteries and veins that run through it are able to work properly. If a bone is moved, even slightly, and is laying on a nerve, scraping, pulling or irritating it, the nerve cannot function properly which means the body can’t function properly.
A chiropractor offers an adjustment or manipulation of the structure, freeing the nerves of impingement. It can involve putting motion in the spinal column using the hands or for a more gentle adjustment, using equipment.
The body is smart: It has an innate ability to heal itself (imagine the body healing a cut or a bruise) enabling the nerves to work properly allows the body to function properly. Remember, if a bone is scraping, scratching or stretching a nerve, that nerve becomes irritated, eventually resulting in pain. When an adjustment is performed, the doctor will locate and correct that malposition or subluxation, moving the bone off the nerve and alleviating the symptoms or pain.
Some patients experience relief immediately after an adjustment. Getting the adjustment to “hold” or getting the body to stay in the correct position often takes repeated adjustments to retrain the muscles. Once the muscles are retrained, the length of time between adjustments typically increases. The results vary depending on the condition and the person. Specialized, customized protocols and treatment plans are the key to getting the best result for each and every patient we care for. Adjustments in combination with our proven protocols have been the key to our success.
Southwest Spine Center has doctors that practice all types of adjustments. Some techniques involve a high force while others are very gentle. The goal is the same, to remove a subluxation (a malposition of the bone) which causes the nerves to malfunction. If the nerves aren’t communicating properly, any number of symptoms can arise including pain, numbness, tingling and weakness to name only a few. Combined with the latest technology, such as acupuncture without needles, cold light laser therapy, spinal decompression therapy, myotherapy specific to the area of problem and physiotherapy, chiropractic can help with so much more then back or neck pain!
