How do you choose the right Chiropractor?

Symptom Relief Chiropractors primarily focus on symptom relief like a standard GP, Physiotherapist, Osteopath, etc. They care for the spine by adjusting only to reduce pain . They use massage, ultra sound, tens units and electric stimulation as an artificial way of relaxing muscles.

Unnatural electric energy entering the cells of the body will destroy or mutate those cells and because the heart and other organs work by electrical impulses, these artificial currents will alter their function.

Likewise, massage therapy is designed to relieve the tension and pressure in muscles. Whilst it feels good at the time and shortly thereafter, it does absolutely nothing to address or correct why those muscles are tight, nor does it do anything to prevent further re-occurrences.

This type of chiropractic care determines your care by your symptoms and by your insurance coverage. While this may seem like a benefit because it could reduce the cost and lower your treatment time, you are actually wasting your time and money. You may get some temporary relief, but your spine and nerve system are left uncorrected and your health is no better off than when you started care. In fact, you might even be worse off. Because your spine and nerve system are still in their improper position, they will continue to degenerate silently and allow organs to malfunction and become diseased. When the red oil light in your car goes on, it would be foolish to put tape over it to cover-up that signal! Further damage would obviously occur.

“The body has an innate ability to heal itself. Western doctors are frozen in the disease-oriented model, curing disease with drugs and surgery, rather than on prevention and stimulating the body's natural healing power. Most treatments just prevent the disease from expressing itself symptomatically. Symptoms disappear but the disease actually gets progressively worse.”

- Dr. Andrew Weil, M.D. Harvard University

Corrective Care Chiropractors are concerned with actually correcting your spine and function of your central nervous system, to not only eliminate symptoms, but to improve overall health and prevent disease.

Like changing teeth alignment in your mouth with braces, the duration of care and frequency of adjustments is essential to changing the bone alignment in your spine. It is also necessary to use very specific, highly advanced techniques in order to get the subluxation in your spine corrected and see those improvements on x-rays. (Infrequent visits of non-specific manipulative techniques will make no significant or permanent changes to spinal structures and may even cause damage.)

While all doctors want their patients to be out of pain, the focus of Corrective Care Chiropractic is to remove interference to the central nervous system (subluxation) through a very precise program of spinal adjustments, stretches, and exercises that are unique for each individual.

The frequency and cost of care is determined by the severity of the subluxation in your spine. It is not determined by your symptoms. Results are not based on how you are feeling, but by how you are healing. Re-examination and re-xray are the only way to give any real evidence of the position of your spine, and how you are doing.

Understand that insurance is designed to pay for the cost of fast relief to a new accident or injury and not for the correction of long term, old problems and the prevention of future ones.

Wholeness, proper function and the restoration of health can only be achieved through long-term, strategic, disciplined action.
