SPINAL CORRECTION

HOW IS CORRECTIVE CHIROPRACTIC DIFFERENT?
STRUCTURAL CORRECTION VS. CONVENTIONAL CHIROPRACTIC

One of the biggest differences between a conventional chiropractic office and our practice is to first understand:

The goals of conventional chiropractic are:

1.      Temporary reduction in pain

2.      Decreasing muscle spasm

3.      Increasing range of motion

At Corrective Chiropractic, our objective and focus is Structural Correction.

In the vast majority of cases that we see in at our practice, many are referrals from medical doctors and other chiropractors for Structural Shifts and abnormal spinal structure. These Structural shifts are the underlying cause that often reveals themselves as “symptoms” – or Secondary Conditions. Structural Chiropractic Correction focuses on the correction of the underlying cause – the Structural Shifts – or Primary Condition.

While no one is structurally perfect, there is a normal range. In the same manner, we can understand what a fever is because we know what the normal temperature is, or knowing what constitutes high blood pressure because we are aware of the normal range. There are established normals almost everywhere we look, including the gauges and warning indicators on the dashboard of your car, alerting you when there is a mechanical problem.

The body uses symptoms as warning indicators of a potentially more serious condition. A Structural Shift is just that – a (primary) condition that may be the cause of your (secondary) symptoms. Our office focuses on detecting and correcting abnormal spinal structure, causing many secondary conditions, such as low back pain, sciatica, neck pain and headaches, to name a few conditions.
 

WHAT ARE SECONDARY CONDITIONS?

Your body’s warning system – your “symptoms,” may be an indicator of a more serious underlying condition. Some of the Secondary Conditions that arise from a Structural Shift include:

•       Neck & Back Pain
•       Sciatica & Hip Pain
•       Numbness & Tingling
•       Muscular Spasm & Tension
•       Headaches (Including Migraine)
•       Pinched Nerve (N.I.S.)
•       Herniated Disc
•       Canal Stenosis
•       Rotator Cuff & Shoulder Pain
•       Degenerative Disc Disease
•       Degenerative Joint Disease
•       Decreased Range of Motion
•       Poor Posture
•       Muscular Imbalance
•       Dizziness/Vertigo
•       Sinus problems
•       Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
