Thousands of people worldwide have experienced the extraordinary benefits of chiropractic care. If you haven’t visited a chiropractor earlier then you might be missing out. The greatest thing about chiropractic care is it’s a drug-free and surgical free procedure to cure pain naturally.

Chiropractic Care

What Chiropractors do?

• Chiropractic specialises in the connection between the body’s structure – the skeleton, the muscular tissues and the nerves – and the patient’s wellness.

• Chiropractors (NYC) believe that one’s well-being is elevated and preserved through making changes to these structures, principally to the spinal column.

• Whether you might be affected by aches, pains, or anxiety, you can visit a chiropractic clinic to get treatment.

• People find chiropractic changes and massages are affordable for leisure and relaxation purposes but they also have countless other advantages that shouldn’t be ignored.

Top 5 Researched Benefits of Chiropractic Adjustments

• Neurological conditions

A recent study published on the effect of chiropractic adjustment on neurological conditions like “cerebella invagination”, in which cerebellum drops down the skull line, found this condition was being reversed. The “brain plaquing” condition seen in multiple sclerosis patients is also getting diminished.

• Ear and Colic infection:

Children suffering from acid reflux, otitis media (ear infection) and colic have attained near complete resolution within a few weeks of chiropractic treatment. This is a proven result as published in Journal of Manipulative Physiological Therapeutics.

• Scoliosis

1. Scoliosis is an abnormal clinical condition in which a person’s backbone has a curve either “S” or “C” shaped. 
2. Sometimes the curve is stable and usually does not cause discomfort but in some cases, the curve increases causing pain and breathing problem. 
3. It is believed that it's brought about via both genetic and environmental causes.
4. Chiropractic adjustments coupled with muscular rehabilitation techniques may help prevent the progression of scoliosis.
5. In many cases patients have an obvious 10 to 30 percent curb of their scoliosis curvatures and it makes them avoid using restrictive braces or dangerous surgical procedures.

• Migraine and Headache

The headache is the second most common condition among people. Chiropractic adjustment has shown a significant improvement in pain reduction for people who suffer from a migraine or a headache.

Compared to most other medical treatments chiropractic care for a headache will be a great choice.

• Overall health

Chiropractic adjustment has shown a tremendous improvement for the people suffering from lower back pain and knee pain. Apart from this it improves your mood by balancing chemicals in the body.

ChiropractorCare For Sciatica

Chiropractor Car Sciatica

What is Sciatica?

• Sciatica is pain originating from the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve is the widest and the longest nerve that runs from the lower back, through the buttocks, and down the legs through the knees ending up in the feet. 

• This nerve controls several muscles and supplies sensation to the skin of the foot and most of the lower leg.

• Any compression caused to this nerve is termed as “Sciatica”. “Sciatica” is often confused with lower back pain but it is not limited to the back.

• Sciatica is a condition rather than a symptom related to a problem involving the sciatic nerve.

Common causes of Sciatica

• The spinal column is made up of three main parts:
• Vertebrae (individual bone in the spine), Nerve and Disks.
• Disks are made of cartilage that acts as a cushion between each vertebra and makes the spine flexible. Any damage or slipping of the disks will give compression to sciatic nerves causing pain.
• Nearly 90% of sciatica is caused by a herniated (slipped) disk.
• A chronic infection within the spine.
• An injury caused in the spine.
• Tumors in the spine compressing the sciatic nerve.
• Spondylolisthesis is a condition where a disk slips forward over the vertebra thus pinching the sciatic nerve.

Common risk factors

There are a few common risk factors for sciatica, they are:

Profession: if your job involves in the lifting of heavy loads for a long period then you are at risk.

Age factor: people in their 30s and 40s have a higher risk of developing sciatica due to the deterioration of disks.

Lifestyle: people who are physically inactive and who sit for long periods are more likely to develop sciatica, compared with physically active individuals.

Pregnancy: During pregnancy most of the women will come across a sciatica condition.

How to treat Sciatica by Chiropractor?

• Sciatica is a painful condition, so a patient requires pain killers and an anti-inflammatory drug immediately for a temporary relief. However, a complete diagnosis is taken before starting the treatment.

• A combination of Chiropractic adjustments, stretching, massage and cryotherapy will give a permanent remedy for sciatica.

• Chiropractic adjustment will address any mis-alignments of the spine and pelvis and takes the pressure off the nerve and helps the recovery of any slipped discs.

• Ice/cold therapy decreases the inflammation and controls the pain.

• A gentle heat is induced in the affected area by sound waves (ultrasound) which will increase the circulation of blood decreasing the pain and swelling.
