Why Gentle Chiropractic?
The spine might simply seem like a collection of bones but it's much more than that. It is an imperative part of the complicated system which allows for fluid motion in everyday activities. This includes basic movements such as lifting, rotating and bending.
If the spine is not in the correct position, the misaligned segment causes pain and over time may become chronic. This results in very limited range of motion and deterioration of the joints. Dr. Hendon uses several different light force chiropractic techniques and instruments to adjust the spine without the typical Snap, Crack & Pop of conventional cadjustments. Using these specialized methods gives Dr. Hendon's patients all the benefits without the fear. These techniques take a couple extra minutes and effort but your comfort and the end results more than justify the effort.
Another point and reason to use light force chiropractic is the minimal pressure and stress on your spine. The musculoskeletal system is a major function of the spine, but it is certainly not the only one. Protecting our Spinal Cord is no small task. The spine houses the nervous system which is our wiring that controls every move we make, both voluntary & involuntary. It is imperative to our mobility and quality of life that our spine stays intact & protected. Collectively, pressure of any kind may cause future problems that everyone should minimize whenever possible.
Proper spinal alignment effects numerous conditions and issues usually not associated with Chiropractic Care. These includes:
-
Migraines/Head aches
-
TMJ
-
Sinus / Allergy Problems
-
Sciatica
-
Carpal tunnel Syndrome
-
Knee & Ankles
-
Sleep Problems
Many Studies show that other vital stats such as high blood pressure can be improved by correcting subluxations. This is not to say it is the cure for high blood pressure or heart disease. These studies provides us with new examples of the many benefits to having a healthy spine. Proper nerve supply improves all body function & processes which ultimately provides for every fiber of our being. It is like proper nutrition, essential for life.
The reason that these problems can be diagnosed and treated by a Chiropractor is the same reason that it's so effective with neck and back issues. It is all neurology. When one or more vertebra in the back are out of alignment, it puts pressure on the nerves which causes pain or problems throughout the body. When this occurs it's called subluxation. A Chiropractor treats this by adjusting the vertebra into alignment. This takes the pressure off the nerve which relieves pain and successfully repairs the subluxation.
Having a healthy spine greatly improves your overall health and wellness. Dr. Hendon is very sincere & has a great bed sided manner and is dedicated to providing his patients with honest treatment advise to get you healthy and back on their feet as soon as possible.
