Health In Balance Chiropractic

Chiropractic is a form of holistic health care that can heal the body through various forms of manual therapy such as adjusting, soft tissue work, and various other means.

One thing that is unique to Chiropractic, is the Chiropractic adjustment which often times is applied to the spine and other parts of the body to bring about motion to a fixated area of the spine to not only affect the joints of the body, but also to enhance the well-being of the person as a whole. It is well known in the Chiropractic profession that areas of the body are connected in more ways than just direct structural connection.

Therefore, therapies that may seem to be unrelated to the area of complaint can have profound and lasting effects to problem areas as well as to correct issues that may have seemed to have no relation to the original problem.

Scar tissue is also a large instigator of pain around joints and in/around muscles.  It is common for physical therapists and chiropractors to implement certain techniques designed to soften and remove problematic scar tissue.  Scar tissue can cause lots of problems in the body including but not limited to: nerve entrapment (e.g. sciatica, carpal tunnel), a painful inability to stretch a muscle, and deep aches that seem to originate from joints.

As already mentioned, Chiropractic is a holistic form of health care, so chiropractors often will look beyond just bone.  They often work on soft tissue, nutrition, and the energy system of the body.
