There are a lot of chronic conditions that people may have, and it can be very frustrating. Sometimes, problems can go on for years and doctors can't figure out the root cause of their pain or discomfort.
Before you give up hope on your unknown condition, consider seeing an upper cervical chiropractor. It may surprise you to discover just how integral your spine's health is to your overall health and well-being.
Why Spinal Health Is Vital to Your Overall Health
Just consider the important job the spine has: it protects the spinal cord. The brain and the spinal cord together make up the Central Nervous System (CNS). The spinal cord carries messages between the brain and the rest of the body. This is how the brain regulates all of the body's functions.
If even one vertebra slips out of place, it can cause health problems in other parts of the body. Nerves may become pinched or compressed, and important vessels may be blocked, signals can be disrupted, and this can set off a domino effect throughout the system.
One vertebra out of place can result in excessive stress on other joints, muscles, ligaments, or tendons. The problem kicks off a chain event throughout the musculoskeletal system.
When the spine is realigned to a healthy state, however, it reduces inflammation, removes pressure and strain, allows for nerve signals to flow freely, and bodily functions can resume. The body's natural healing mechanisms are triggered to help restore health and wellness.
What Kind of Conditions Can Chiropractors Treat?
While many people call the chiropractor to work on back or neck pain, chiropractors can treat many more conditions. Auto-immune diseases, chronic pain, mobility impairments, headache disorders, joint diseases, nerve conditions, or postural problems may all be connected to the state of the spine.
The spine's health can play a role in everything from sleep disorders to depression and anxiety to the immune system itself. When there is a problem impeding the central nervous system from doing its job, there is no limit to the symptoms that may manifest.
How Our Treatment Works
We treat a variety of symptoms at the Blair Chiropractic Clinic in Lubbock, Texas. Dr. Gordon Elder is trained in the Blair Chiropractic Technique. The Blair technique is a specialization in upper cervical care, combining advanced technology with modern chiropractic hands-on methods.
Dr. Elder begins treatment with a screening that includes state-of-the-art 3D diagnostic imaging tools. This is how Blair practitioners can pinpoint and calculate any misalignments, no matter how minute.
The second step in Dr. Elder's treatment plan is the healing process. Because of the advanced scans, Dr. Elder makes adjustments with a higher degree of precision, allowing him to use a lighter touch that is far more comfortable for patients than traditional chiropractic jerks and twists.
The final step in Dr. Elder's treatment plan involves ongoing care to prevent problems in the future.
You don't have to live with your symptoms. Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive, drug-free, natural alternative treatment that helps bring patients relief from many different conditions.
