Chiropractic Care In Georgia

Chiropractic medicine is a healthcare discipline that emphasizes the inherent recuperative power of the body to heal itself without the use of drugs or surgery. The practice of chiropractic care focuses on the relationship between the structure (primarily the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) of the body, and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health.

What Are the Benefits of Chiropractic Care?

The benefits of chiropractic care are numerous. First and foremost, chiropractic services are highly effective at resolving pain and related medical complaints. It’s not uncommon for patients to experience immediate pain relief upon receiving a spinal adjustment. Depending on your particular health issues, multiple appointments may be needed to fully treat your condition, and you can look forward to feeling progressively better after each visit.

Other benefits of chiropractic care include the following:

Holistic – Although it’s commonly believed that chiropractors primarily treat back pain, they actually take a holistic approach to healthcare. A chiropractor will consider the entirety of your health—not just your symptoms.

Addresses Underlying Causes – Chiropractic care doesn’t just mask symptoms. Instead, chiropractors work to identify the underlying causes of your symptoms, and by addressing those root causes, they can effectively resolve the symptoms.

Customized – Chiropractors never take a “one size fits all” approach. Each treatment plan at EIH is fully customized to suit the patient’s needs, preferences, and health history.

Noninvasive – Chiropractic care can often allow patients to avoid invasive procedures such as surgery and injections. For patients who have undergone surgery, a chiropractor can design a custom rehabilitation plan to support post-surgical healing.

Drug-Free – Medications can cause undesirable side effects, particularly when used for long periods of time. Chiropractic care is drug-free.

Versatile – Chiropractic services are capable of treating a wide range of health complaints that stem from musculoskeletal/nervous system dysfunctions.

Safe – Chiropractic services have a long track record of safety. It’s even safe to receive care during pregnancy, as these professionals are specially trained to provide care to expecting moms.

Spinal manipulation

One of the most common and well known therapeutic procedures performed by chiropractors is spinal manipulation (sometimes referred to as a ‘chiropractic adjustment’, although this technique is also used by osteopaths and physiotherapists). The purpose of spinal manipulation is to restore joint mobility by manually applying a controlled force into joints that have become restricted in their movement as a result of a tissue injury.

Tissue injury can be caused by a single traumatic event, such as improper lifting of a heavy object, or through repetitive stresses, such as sitting in an awkward position with poor spinal posture for an extended period of time. In either case, injured tissues undergo physical and chemical changes that can cause inflammation, pain, and diminished function.

Manipulation or adjustment of the affected joint and tissues restores mobility, thereby alleviating pain and muscle tightness, allowing tissues to heal.

Spinal manipulation is very safe when performed by a trained, registered practitioner, although some people may experience mild soreness or discomfort following treatment. This usually resolves within 12 to 48 hours. Your chiropractor will discuss this with you prior to any intervention in a process called informed consent.

How Chiropractic Improves Your Health

Your nervous system controls every cell, organ and tissue in the body. It’s responsible for the communication between your brain and body. Pain and other symptoms are often a sign that there’s a problem present in the nervous system that isn’t allowing proper brain-body communication.

Chiropractic is an effective solution to optimize these communications, making sure the nervous system enjoys its greatest possible function.
