How Does Chiropractic Work? Your Nervous system is the master control center that runs everything from your stomach to your legs.
So what did you do about the pebble? You took your shoe off and took it out, right? If someone else had a pebble in their shoe and told you they were taking medication for the pebble irritation, that would be ridiculous, wouldn’t it? It is not logical to treat a physical problem with a chemical solution! If they performed surgery on their foot for pebble irritation, that would be extreme, wouldn’t it?
The correct thing to do would be to remove the pebble from the shoe. It’s a physical problem causing the irritation. And that’s what chiropractors do.
Chiropractors are nerve doctors. They treat your nerves without drugs and surgery. They are trained to locate tiny areas of irritation to your nerves and remove them safely and painlessly. By removing irritation, chiropractic allows your body to to heal itself.|back to top|
Do Chiropractors Only Treat The Back? Because chiropractic treats your nervous system do not be surprised other things begin to work properly.
To their surprise, they begin treatment for problems like these, but end up finding relief from other conditions such as asthma, allergies, digestive disorders, sleep disorders, and fatigue conditions because their nervous system becomes "tuned-up” as the nerve irritation is relieved. Please see the section on Conditions Treated for some of the more common Chiropractic complaints or call for a complimentary consultation with Dr. Sturdevant. |back to top|
What Is A Subluxation? Fixations in the joints of the spine can cause subluxtions.
A spine is composed of twenty-four moveable bones called vertebrae,each shaped like a ring. These vertebrae are stacked one on top of another, forming a vertical tunnel. The spinal cord is suspended from the brain and extends down through the tunnel formed by vertebrae. Smaller nerves lead from the spinal cord through openings between the vertebrae, called foramen. Each nerve goes to and controls a specific area of the body. When the spinal column is in proper alignment, the nerves pass unimpeded through the foramen. But, when one or more vertebrae become misaligned, the nerve is impinged (pinched), and normal nerve function is cut off to the parts of the body served by that nerve. Sometimes misaligned vertebrae correct themselves. Most subluxations, however, need chiropractic care for correction. |back to top|
What Is An Adjustment?A spinal adjustment is a precise placement of the vertebra into its correct position, by applying gentle pressure to the bone and "unlocking" it from its improper position. The bone is then free to align itself correctly.
Is An Adjustment Painful? Although each patient reacts differently, the procedure is rarely painful. It can cause a variety of reactions from temporary soreness (like the first time you do a new exercise) to a sense of relief and well-being. |back to top|
How Are Chiropractors Trained? Chiropractic training includes more than five years of courses in anatomy, physiology, pathology, diagnosis, laboratory and nutrition. In addition to their academic training, chiropractors also participate in an intensive post-graduate internship program. How Long Can I Expect To Be Under Chiropractic Care? How long and how often you see a chiropractor will depend on several factors: your age, physical condition, previous history of accidents or surgeries, occupational requirements and how well you adhere to our treatment program. Pain relief usually happens quickly (within a month), though stabilizing your condition may take longer. This will be discussed with you before you start treatment.
What About Playing Sports? Chiropractic care for sports-realted injuries has become increasingly popular. Spinal injuries can restrict range of motion, reduce strength, slow reflexes, shorten endurance, and decrease performance. Professional sports teams, Olympic trainers, and competitive athletes are turning to chiropractic care - because they demand results. |back to top|
Does Insurance Cover Chiropractic Care? Chiropractic care is covered by many insurance plans in the State of Arkansas, including Medicare. Chiropractic care is specifically covered in cases of motor vehicle injury by Personal Injury Protection (PIP).
