There are many misconceptions about chiropractic. In a society and culture that has been raised with the ‘Take a pill’ mentality, we have rarely been taught to consider a more natural alternative to taking care of our body
Medicines and surgery are modern wonders and there is no question that they are very necessary in making us feel better and relieving our pain. The question that we should be asking ourselves is, are they always the best choice?
Modern chiropractic is the second largest healthcare provider in the world today and it is the most sought after treatment for back pain. Chiropractic is the most natural, non invasive, form of therapy for the treatment of muscle and joint pain and is recognised throughout the healthcare profession as the most effective source of relief for these conditions.
Today’s chiropractor works closely with traditional medical practitioners to provide the most efficient way of treating the aches and pains that affect us as a result of injury to our bodies that occurs while performing our everyday routine without the patient having to use medications that do not necessarily correct the cause of the problem.
Chiropractic deals with the structures of the body, focusing on the spine and joints of the body. The basic premise is that “structure determines function”. In other words, if the structure of the body is correct, the body will return to its normal function! Keeping in mind that the onset of diseases or trauma will have an adverse effect on the functions of the body, if the structure is correct, the body will have the best opportunity to work at its optimum level of performance and will be pain free while performing our everyday routine.
Recent breakthroughs in treating musculoskeletal pain have lead to the use of Low Level Laser Treatment (LLLT) for pain relief of a number of conditions. Low Level Laser Therapy is currently being used by a number of NHS departments in the UK and Europe to Premier football clubs, British Olympic teams, the Royal Ballet and Professional Sporting associations around the world. The use of LLLT is certified for use in Europe, Canada and the United States and holds the European C mark, Canadian CAMCAS and the USA FDA approval.
How it works
The light from LLLT penetrates the surface of the skin with no heating effect, no damage to the skin and no known side-effects. The laser is designed to repair damaged tissue, reduce pain and decrease the healing time by stimulating the cells of the involved tissue in order for the tissue to heal at a faster rate than normal. The result is that the patient can return to their normal routine and continue without pain.
The most common conditions that are successfully treated by the low level laser are pain in the joints, muscles and tendons of the body. The repetitive work that we do at our job, for example, the long hours of sitting in front of a computer, always in the same position, even the daily housewife routine of cleaning, cooking, shopping, ironing, washing the floors can cause us pain which we do not have to live with.
As you can see today’s modern chiropractic is here to help you get through your everyday life without having to suffer from the ill effects on the body. Make the call today to take advantage of this opportunity to live a healthier and happier pain-free life.
