As a chiropractor in El Dorado Hills many times I'm asked,
“What can chiropractic care do for me?”
The simplest answer for you is this; chiropractic care is a
unique branch of the healing arts that
deals with structure and function. Chiropractic doctors have found that if there
is a restriction in normal movement anywhere along the spine, from the
very tip-top of your neck, (near the base of your skull) all the way down to
your tail-bone —silent problems of mobility begin between the vertebra that
can develop into episodes of pain if ignored.
What we do is often referred to as:
Manual Orthopedic Performance and Injury Care
Bending, lifting, twisting, or stooping can be the cause of
a short-lived problem like this. Other times,
problems develop over time, and you slowly eliminate activities you once enjoyed hoping things will get better… And they don't.
We gently and specifically adjust your joints, the ones in your spine, pelvis, arms, and legs to restore normal flexibility and resiliency to restricted areas while we leave the joints with good flexibility alone. That is truly the KEY in achieving a successful outcome.
Stretched, scraped, pinched or irritated nerves exiting the
spine, can interfere with their normal function as it transfers information back
and forth between the brain, and where it exits from the spine or anywhere
along the nerve's path such as to your shoulder, your hips, your lungs, kidneys,
heart or digestive tract. No wonder a
problem in one place, seemingly unrelated to another, could be so closely
associated with something else. It’s not
that simple. Pain is definitely an
indicator that something is wrong, and the reason why a lot of people call for
an appointment… But not the only reason.
Take your car for instance, some people only bring it in for
repair when it won't start, there's a rough idle, the air conditioning is
broken or there's poor acceleration. Others bring their car into their mechanic
for regular routine and scheduled maintenance. Now and then something might go
wrong but for the most part a well-maintained automobile rarely breaks down and
will provide years and years of good performance and use. Your body is no
different, and only begs you for proper attention, and a little bit of love.
Some only go to a doctor when there are symptoms of fever,
or a life-threatening emergency. Or after
decades of eating crappy food, smoking, and being overweight you think a lap
band procedure, a prescriptive medication or two, liposuction, or a knee replacement is just
the thing to fix you up and be normal again.
When life is no longer bearable because of pain, or when blood sugar is so poorly controlled it begins to affect your vision, maybe causing numbness in your toes, and kidney problems…. Believe me, the damage is already done. It is highly probable that these problems among others will affect muscles, joints, blood vessels and even organs and glands that provide for your vitality and good health. That's why periodic check-ups, and regularly scheduled chiropractic visits will help minimize these other problems that unfortunately compromise your well-being and good health. It is much easier to stay healthy, physically fit and strong rather than struggle with the uphill battle of trying to regain your health once its lost because of neglect.

It is the chiropractor's job to determine if such a problem
exists, and if it can be alleviated or relieved. Advanced technology and extensive diagnostic
training assures you that the findings are valid and the prognosis is reliable.
The nice thing about chiropractic care is no potentially
harmful substances are ever introduced into the body, nor is any part of the
body cut away or removed. We don't use
drugs, we don't perform surgery, and if I can't find the cause of your problem
you’re referred to another specialist who can.
Our statistics reveal that 85% of patients who choose to see
a chiropractic doctor, someone like me, becomes symptom-free or shows improvement
in a very short period of time. It is
possible that some conditions may have progressed to the point where the
tincture of time and nature's healing process have become ineffective, or you’re
unable to cope with the damage already done.
And in those cases a cooperative effort is necessary between many different
providers.
Regular chiropractic care can help maintain or restore your good health... But it all depends upon what you decide is
best for you.
Bless and be blessed ALWAYS,
