Why should you come to see us
Many of us have minor injuries or incapacities without even realising it; then of course, there are those of us who unfortunately are only too aware of our painful problems!
For the above reasons it is worthwhile giving us a visit because the process that damages the joints and disturbs the communication between the different body parts could be reversed by a chiropractic adjustment. In addition, we could advise you in person how to contribute successfully to your treatment.
Some examples of the problems that can affect us all:
Spinal column and intervertebral disc
Disturbed joint mobility -> dehydration of the disc, poor spreading of pressure over its nucleus -> displacement of the nucleus (disc hernia) -> irritation of the nerve root
Head and neck
Deviating biomechanics in this region (ex: after a car accident)
----> insufficient transfer of stimuli around the joints, pressure from the muscles on the blood vessels, tension in the cerebral membranes
----> bad interpretation of the information necessary for spatial orientation (false proprioception), reduction of blood supply to the tissues inside the skull (ex: optic and auditory nerve), change in cerebrospinal fluid circulation ----> dizziness (ringing in the ears), migraine, vegetative dystonia
Children and adolescents
Abnormal position before birth, difficult or forced delivery ----> extreme tension at the connection between skull and the upper cervical vertebra ----> asymmetric muscle development, torticollis, scoliosis, KISS-syndrome, learning and concentration problems, ADD-syndrome (hyperactivity)
Internal organs
Spinal subluxation --> mechanical and chemical aggression to the autonomic nervous system
--> the target organs of those nerves receive insufficient and irregular nervous stimuli
-->organ functioning is disturbed (reversible)
Ex: heartburn, flatulence, tachycardia
-->the organ changes and degenerates (irreversible)
Sport and position
Subluxation of the lower extremities (foot, knee, hip)/ subluxation of the upper extremities (hand, elbow, shoulder)/ subluxation of the spinal column ----> the sportsman moves improperly ----> injuries, reduced performance
Inadequate distribution of weight and incorrect position (by work, leisure activities, psyche, previous injuries, digestive problems) ----> holding the body in an improper position could become an engrained habit that is not noticed anymore (chronic state).
Prevention and energy level
Symptoms only appear at the end and disappear before the patient is completely cured.
The chiropractor is able to notice the painless beginning of a disorder and can therefore carry out adjustments which are highly beneficial at that state.
As a result the patient experiences an increased energy level and the appearance of symptoms can be avoided
Nervous communication is increased --> spending energy for compensatory muscular action is superfluous --> more muscular strength ----> increased psychological and physical performance
