What is Chiropractic Health Care?
What truly differentiates
doctors of chiropractic from any other healthcare
professionals is the fact that chiropractors are
the only professionals who are trained to diagnose
and treat what are called spinal subluxations. The
word “subluxation” comes from the Latin words
meaning “somewhat or slight" (sub) and “to
dislocate” (luxate). So the term ‘vertebral
subluxation’ literally means a slight dislocation
or misalignment of the bones in the spine.
When a subluxation occurs, a chiropractor can
correct the misaligned bone and allow it to return
to its proper position. This procedure is
appropriately called an adjustment, and the
adjustment enables the body to heal. The
chiropractic adjustment is a quick thrust applied
to a vertebra for the purpose of correcting its
position, movement or both. Adjustments are often
accompanied by an audible release of gas that
sounds like a “crack.” The sound sometimes shocks
people a little bit the first couple times they
get adjusted, but the sensation is usually
relieving. Occasionally, minor discomfort is
experienced, especially if the surrounding muscles
are in spasm or the patient tenses up during the
chiropractic procedure. There are times when the
audible “cracking” does not occur. This is often
due to either significant muscle tightness or that
the patient may be having a hard time relaxing
during their adjustments. However, the
chiropractic adjustment is still important. The
leak is fixed. The wiring is fixed. Information is
flowing again. To keep the wiring fixed and the
information flowing, several adjustments over a
course of time may be necessary, in addition to
massage, physical therapy, stretching exercises,
or strengthening exercises. In the chiropractic
world, keeping the problem fixed and preventing
its reoccurrence is just as important as the
initial remedy.
There are actually five components that contribute
to the vertebral subluxation complex (VSC).
1. Bone Component- where the vertebra is
either out of position, not moving properly, or
are undergoing degeneration. This frequently leads
to a narrowing of the spaces between the bones
through which the nerves pass; often resulting in
irritation or impingement of the nerve itself.
2. Nervous Component- is the
disruption of the normal flow of energy along the
nerve fibers, causing the messages traveling along the
nerves to become distorted. The result is that all of
the tissues that are fed by those nerves receive
distorted signals from the brain and, consequently,
are not able to function normally. Over time, this can
lead to a whole host of conditions, such as peptic
ulcers, constipation and other organ system
dysfunction.
3. Muscular Component- since
nerves control the muscles that help hold the
vertebrae in place, muscles have to be considered to
be an integral part of the vertebral subluxation
complex. In fact, muscles both affect, and are
affected by the VSC. A subluxation can irritate a
nerve, the irritated nerve can cause a muscle to
spasm, the spasmed muscle pulls the attached vertebrae
further out of place, which then further irritates the
nerve and you have a vicious cycle. It is no wonder
that very few subluxations just go away by themselves.
4. Soft Tissue Component-
the VSC will also affect the surrounding tendons,
ligaments, blood supply, and other tissues as the
misaligned vertebrae tug and squeeze the connective
tissue with tremendous force. Over time, the soft
tissues can become stretched out or scarred, leaving
the spine with either a permanent instability or
restriction.
5. Chemical Component- is
the change in the chemistry of the body due to the VSC.
Most often, the chemical changes, such as the release
of a class of chemicals called “kinins,” are
pro-inflammatory; meaning that they increase
inflammation in the affected area.
These changes get progressively worse over time if
they are not treated correctly, leading to chronic
pain, inflammation, arthritis, muscle trigger points,
the formation of bone spurs, loss of movement, as well
as muscle weakness and spasm. Chiropractors have known
the dangers of the vertebral subluxation complex ever
since the birth of the profession. More and more
scientific research is demonstrating the tremendous
detrimental impact that subluxation have on the tissue
of the body. In order to be truly healthy, it is vital
that your nervous system be functioning free of
interference from subluxations. Chiropractors are the
only health professionals trained in the detection,
location, and correction of the vertebral subluxation
complex through chiropractic care.

"I first
became a
patient at
Global
Chiropractic
in February
of 2006. I
had horrible
neck pains
that stemmed
from a car
accident in
2004. I was
on
medication
for the pain
along with
meds for
depression.
My previous
physician
suggested
physical
therapy and
I had seen a
chiropractor
before too.
I am no
longer on
the pain or
depression
medication!
My neck no
longer hurts
daily and my
shoulders do
not hold as
much stress
as they used
to. Dr.
Steve is
welcoming,
friendly,
fun, and
understanding.
His
enthusiasm
and zest for
life and
care for his
patients
definitely
shines
through his
attitude and
the attitude
of all his
staff.
Global
Chiropractic
is an
awesome
practice
with the
friendliest,
warm
welcoming
staff I’ve
ever
encountered!"

"I became a
patient at
Global
Chiropractic
in March of
2006. I was
experiencing
numbness in
both of my
hands. I had
been missed
diagnose
with carpet
tunnel from
my family
doctor and
was wearing
wrist
splints.
Since I
began
treatment I
no longer
have
numbness in
my right
hand and my
left hand
still has a
little
numbness,
but has
improved
greatly. Dr.
Steve loves
his work and
it shows. He
is very
knowledgeable
and
discovered
problems
that other
doctors
missed. Dr.
Steve truly
loves
helping his
patients."

"I first
became a
patient at
Global
Chiropractic
in May of
2006. I was
suffering
from an
uncomfortable
tingle in my
shoulder
blade, dull
pain in my
lower back,
and I was
otherwise
twisted like
a pretzel. I
had a
massage from
time to time
to help with
my problem
and on bad
days I took
Advil. I
have most
definitely
benefited
from
treatment at
global
chiropractic.
My back is
pain free,
despite my
hectic
schedule.
Moreover, my
back feels
stronger
than it did
when I began
treatment.
The staff
here is
friendly and
professional.
The
appointment
schedule is
flexible and
accommodating.
All in all
Dr. Steve is
friendly and
informative.
His manual
adjustments
are
excellent. I
would
recommend
treatment
here to
anyone."
-Mac B.
"I became a
patient at
Global
Chiropractic
in January
of 2006. I
was
experiencing
knee, back
and shoulder
pain when I
came in for
treatment. I
hadn’t tried
anything
else before
chiropractic
care and
after being
treated my
knee pain is
completely
gone. I have
minimal back
and shoulder
pain, plus I
have a lot
more energy.
I always
felt cared
for by Dr.
Steve and
comfortable
in his
office. The
hours are
flexible and
able to fit
my busy
schedule. I
enjoy my
visits here.
I recommend
Dr. Steve
all the
time. Thanks
for making
me feel
better."
