What is whole body chiropractic care?
Misconceptions About Pain and Treatment
If we have shoulder pain, we believe our problem is in the shoulder. If we have a digestive issue, we believe the problem is in our stomach. Sometimes, this approach to diagnosis and treatment can be true, but often, our symptoms are not the site of our issue. Simply Well Chiropractic provides whole body care with chiropractic.
Dr. Faith’s Journey from Massage Therapist to Chiropractor
Dr. Faith learned this as a massage therapist. Sometimes a client would come in for a massage because their shoulder hurt, but the problem was really in their neck muscles or upper spine. As a massage therapist, Dr. Faith could only address the muscular issue whereas now, as a licensed chiropractor, she can address both.
The Holistic Approach to Chiropractic Care
What this patient said the other day is true: Dr. Faith is not just going to assume that your shoulder pain (or whatever pain it is) is just a singular issue. Dr. Faith takes a holistic approach by considering the body as a whole and addressing any areas of dysfunction that may be contributing to a patient’s symptoms or health concerns.
The Connection Between Spine, Nervous System, and Overall Health
Chiropractic care focuses on the relationship between the spine and the nervous system, which plays a vital role in overall body function. Misalignments or dysfunctions in the spine, known as subluxations, can interfere with the proper functioning of the nervous system and subsequently affect the overall health and well-being of an individual.
The spine is intricately connected to the rest of the body through nerves that branch out from the spinal cord and innervate various organs, muscles, and tissues. A misalignment or dysfunction in one area of the spine can potentially affect the nerves and structures in other parts of the body.
Expanding Chiropractic Beyond the Spine
But chiropractic care is not limited to the spine alone. Dr. Faith also addresses other joints, such as the shoulders, hips, knees, or wrists, as well as soft tissues like muscles, ligaments, and tendons. She will even incorporate other therapies such as massage, exercises, and lifestyle recommendations to support the overall well-being of her patients.
