Chiropractic is recognized worldwide as the safest, most effective method of treatment of disc herniation and degenerative changes in the spine. Chiropractor recognizes the body’s innate ability to heal itself and that in order for that process to fully express itself, the body has to be in an optimal alignment. However, because of our daily living and events, whether it is trauma from an accident or repetitive sitting from our job, our body adapts a compensatory misalignment. This misalignment, better known as subluxation, creates dysfunctional movement within the spine which can interfere with the normal function of the nervous system. This process repeats over and over and if left uncorrected, will eventually lead to condition such as disc herniation and degenerative changes in the spine. The task of the chiropractor is to find and remove subluxation. Once subluxations are removed from the spine, neuro-physiological function is restored, thus the body is allowed to start its natural healing process fully.
Before treatment by a chiropractor can begin, our doctor of physical medicine will perform an assessment to see if chiropractic care will be safe and effective for each patient. All objective findings will be used and supplemented in the assessment including X ray, magnetic resonance imaging(MRI), ultrasound imaging and relevant laboratory findings. Our doctors will recommend an assessment by other specialists such as neurologist if they deem it necessary.
