Question 1

How effective is chiropractic care?

Accepted Answer

Chiropractic care is effective in removing postural imbalances and structural misalignments that accumulate over time. By restoring spinal function with adjustments, we remove nerve interference, allowing your nervous system to function optimally and improve your overall health.

Question 2

What does subluxation mean in chiropractic care?

Accepted Answer

In chiropractic care, a subluxation occurs when a vertebra becomes misaligned or moves out of its normal position. This can result from various issues, such as minor slips, bumps, or sudden trauma like car accidents. Subluxations put pressure on nerves and blood vessels, disrupting the natural pathways for brain messages, which can affect overall health.

Question 3

What is the process behind chiropractic care?

Accepted Answer

Chiropractic care is a holistic approach that views the body as self-sustaining and self-healing. Controlled by the brain through the spinal cord and nerves, any dysfunction in this system affects overall performance. Chiropractors use adjustments to treat a range of issues, from back and neck pain to more complex conditions like fibromyalgia and headaches, without relying on drugs.

Question 4

What is a chiropractic adjustment? Is it safe?

Accepted Answer

Adjustments, or manipulation as they're sometimes referred to is the minor movement of vertebrae in the spine. The objective of this movement is to realign vertebrae that have moved out of place for a number of reasons ranging from normal daily activity to trauma such as a car accident.

When these vertebrae are out of place, it has an overall systemic effect from muscular to the central nervous system. Without proper alignment and flow of all nerves and systems in the body from the brain, we can't function at our peak.

An adjustment is often a pressure from the chiropractor utilizing the hands or an instrument to move a vertebrae back into place. This happens with a quick movement and is often without discomfort. You may hear a noise that sounds like you're cracking your knuckles referred to as joint cavitation. It is the release of gases such as oxygen and nitrogen from the joint.

Question 7

What results can I expect from treatment?

Accepted Answer

Chiropractic is a healthcare approach that focuses on removing imbalances in the body's structure and posture. The ultimate goal is to allow the body to heal itself. To achieve this, the network of nerves and signals from the brain, down the spinal cord, and through the network of nerves must flow freely without any interruption. By using their skills, chiropractors can eliminate these interferences or misalignments, thereby enabling the body to function optimally.

If you have ever been involved in a car accident, played a sport, fallen down, or had a hard bump, you may not be functioning at your best due to misalignment. While there are many possible causes of misalignment, some may be due to chemical reasons. For example, smoking, excessive drinking, or a poor diet can lead to chemical issues in the body that may eventually result in underlying conditions and diseases.

Dr. Spillers can help you get back on track both chemically and structurally, which will restore your body to its optimal state and enable it to perform at its best.
