Why a Chiropractor?
It may be the second fastest growing segment of the health care industry, but when it comes to chiropractors, chiropractics and what, exactly, chiropractors do, chiropractics is a new science. Patients are still looking for answers regarding chiropractics and how it can help them, and because of that they’re not getting the chiropractic treatment they deserve. Yet back pain has reached nearly epidemic levels in the United States. Eight out of every ten Americans suffer at least one episode of debilitating back pain in their lifetimes. Over one million workdays are lost to back pain at a cost of over $50 billion annually. It is for this reason that chiropractic is a vital form of health care.
The Bottom Line
There are two simple concepts that make up the entire foundation on which chiropractics is based:
1) The body is the sum of its parts, operating as part of a giant network rather than individual systems. A problem in one system will lead to problems in another.
2) Many of the most common health care problems people face, including idiopathic, chronic pain in the lower back, joints and extremities, can be traced back to the spine.
Many people think of chiropractors as spine doctors, and in many ways that’s right. The spine is the mainframe upon which the skeleton is built, and the rest of the body is built around the skeleton. A problem with the spine is going to have obvious and far reaching effects throughout the rest of the network.
By performing what is known as a spinal adjustment and encouraging regular and repeat therapies chiropractors are able to correct problems and inflammation in and around the spine, eliminating the root of the problem rather than trying to treat the symptoms.
Who Should See a Chiropractor?
A better question would be, who shouldn’t see a chiropractor! The field of chiropractics has such a wide range of applications that it’s impossible to single out a specific patient demographic. If you suffer from chronic back and neck pain, either as a result of injury, trauma or sitting in front of the computer for eight to ten hours a day, you should see a chiropractor.
If you suffer from any type of pain in the joints or extremities, even as the result of a secondary condition such as fibromyalgia, you will probably benefit from chiropractic treatment. Chronic migraine sufferers have been proven to benefit from continual chiropractic care, minimizing the pain and side effects of their headaches and, in some cases, eliminating the headaches altogether. Anyone suffering from pain or stiffness as the result of some form of trauma should seek out chiropractic care to restore full mobility as quickly, painlessly and inexpensively as possible.
Are There Side Effects?
Dr. Tuchinsky, a spinal injury chiropractor in Weston Florida, says that one of the best aspects to chiropractic treatment is the fact that there are no drugs or surgical intervention involved, there absolutely no side effects. Literally. None. You won’t have to deal with the nausea and grogginess of prescription painkillers or the pain of a post-surgical site. This type of therapy has become so widely recognized for its effectiveness and its lack of potential side effects that insurance companies have even begun including it in their standard benefits packages.
If you’re suffering from pain or a lack of mobility, you should see Dr. Tuchinsky, he is a leading chiropractor in his field, his practice is located in Weston and Pembroke Pines FL. If they find that you have another underlying condition causing your problem they’ll be happy to refer you to a top physician on his network. If you’re a candidate for chiropractic care you’ll find relief from your pain quickly, quietly and side effect free.
