Intro to Chiropractic Care


are you thinking about saying
chiropractor but not sure if it’s going
to be painful not sure how the process
is gonna go hi welcome to watchmojo.com
i’m your host poorna and today i have
the opportunity to sit down with a
licensed chiropractor he’s gonna be
talking to us about some of the
treatments and the benefits of
chiropractic care so there are many
processes that a patient can go through
when they come in what are some of them
and how does it benefit them well
everybody has to go through the same
process when they walk into the office
is the same as a medical clinic they
have to fill out a questionnaire sort of
a background on them to see what’s wrong
they’ve had any issues any surgeries
anything of that sort once they filled
out that paperwork at our office we take
x-rays to make sure that everything is
is more or less as it should be as far
as their spine is concerned so what I do
when I take my x-rays is once they’ve
been taken and developed I measure them
to see how close are far from the normal
they are and from there I can tell them
what they need to do this person had a 5
degree curve when they started and their
head was forward by about 11 millimeters
from the normal does the adjustment
process hurt it might for that split
second while it’s being done it might be
a little bit of a reaction especially in
the first few visits but once they know
what to expect it’s a piece of cake and
just about everybody can handle it be
they 12 years old or be the 84 years old
they can handle it how often do patients
have to come in per week some of my
patients right off the bat come in once
every two weeks or once every three
weeks because they’re already near
perfect but if somebody comes in and
they’re already somewhat damaged or
they’re feeling damage they’ve got some
symptoms or whatever the case might be
then they might need more care and how
long does it generally take for someone
to feel those improvements from the
adjustments most people within about two
to four visits they already feel
something by and large age plays a huge
role I get a person who’s 15 they’re
going to be a lot quicker than 25 by the
same token quicker than 35 etc so
there’s a lot of factors that play into
how long it’s going to take now for the
viewers who might not know what exactly
is vertebral subluxation that’s a term
that’s existed for about 112 years since
chiropractic began if a football player
gets sat from behind and dislocates his
shoulder a medical doctor would call
that a luxe ated shoulder in
chiropractic the term sub which is a
prefix of luck sation had mean
less than an actual dislocation instead
of an actual dislocated joint it’s more
of an actual twist if you will so that
the vertebrae are not properly aligned
causing pressure on the nerves because
we have 24 vertebrae and there’s a pair
of nerves coming out at each level and
these nerves are going to different body
areas but if the vertebrae is twisted at
those several levels it’ll cause the
flow to be somewhat diminished from the
brain trying to get the messages through
so that the body will somewhat suffer
this is what you’d call a textbook
normal vertebral section of the spine if
you’ll if you don’t maintain yourself
you lose that curve which is phase one
the definition of phase one is a loss of
curve it takes typically they say on
average about five years to get here on
its own if you’re working at a computer
for many years and you’ve got a bad
posture that’s kind of developed over
time now to get to phase two you’ll
notice that the vertebrae is actually
changed in shape so that takes a long
time but phase three is where the
vertebrae is completely be generated and
the disc is completely dehydrated in
between the two not too many patients
come into our office with a face for
where are they if you have to guess
pretty much a dying I would assume well
pretty much dead they’re already at the
morgue unfortunate because the the
nerves going to the heart need to be
able to get the message the heart needs
to get the messages from the brain but
if it’s fused the message can’t get
through what do you think it is about
chiropractic care that’s attracting more
people each year people are realizing
that there’s there’s a finite amount of
improvement that you can get from
utilizing drugs and medication it has
its place and I’ve had surgeries and I
know that it has its place that you do
need and you can’t get around it but if
you can try to find a solution prior to
actually getting the knife put to you
it’s always better
