Turn on your TV at any time of the day or night and you’ll be bombarded with advertisements for new drug treatments. From chronic depression to acid reflux, drug companies are urging you to improve your health by increasing your medication. Is it possible to maintain optimal health naturally? Without resorting to drugs that can have serious side effects?
Chiropractors have long known about the body’s amazing ability to promote its own inner healing. The practice of chiropractic dates back to 1895 and has traditionally partnered with primary health care. Today, chiropractic is increasingly recognized by the larger healthcare profession as an important part of patient well-being. As one popular New York chiropractor put it, “Ten years ago, if you practiced chiropractic manipulation…you couldn’t get published and you never got invited to meetings. Now I can’t keep up with the invites.”
Who Can Benefit From Chiropractic Care?
New York City, a “hot spot” for chiropractic care, has attracted many expert practitioners. New York, in a way, mirrors developments in practice across North America. When a number of NYC chiropractors were polled about their patients’ experiences, they offered some interesting comments about the wide range of people who could benefit from their services:
Newborns: Chiropractors often discover birth-related abnormalities that pediatricians don’t notice. Some defects are best corrected soon after birth to improve the child’s chances of growing normally.
Children: As children grow, the likelihood of developing problems increases. The causes are often related to trauma sustained during the many activities children participate in. By detecting and correcting such problems immediately, serious disorders later in life can be prevented.
Active Adults: Adults involved in activities that require endurance, stamina, and balance can improve their performance and protect their overall health by involving a chiropractor in their health and fitness plan. Plus, as many of the NYC chiropractors surveyed noted, they can prevent debilitating spine issues. Chiropractors can identify alignment issues before they cause permanent injuries and chronic pain.
Pregnant Mothers: Skilled chiropractors can help expectant mothers with things ranging from adjusting to a changed center of gravity to planning a natural, safe birth.
Elderly: We now know more than ever about extending and enriching life naturally. Chiropractors have long been at the forefront of promoting natural wellness and an abundant quality of life at all ages.
The functions of chiropractic care
Most people wonder what chiropractic care actually does for the body. So what did that panel of NYC chiropractors have to say about the functions of chiropractic?
Simply put, chiropractors focus on the physiological relationship between the spine and the other body systems. One of the first parts of the human anatomy to develop is the spine. Not only does the spine support the entire body, but the human nervous system is also protected by the spine. Any biomechanical or structural problem that occurs in the spine affects other bodily functions.
Chiropractors can be thought of as the vigilant watchdogs of healthcare. Their susceptibility to spinal problems developing helps them treat problems before they worsen and become chronic. Chiropractors manage to prevent debilitating illnesses in their patients without drugs or invasive techniques.
