This week we are going to continue our discussion on the benefits of routine Chiropractic Care. We know that Chiropractic Care can’t cure everything. In many cases, though, it can reverse the cause of some of your pain. If your neck is out of whack, taking a painkiller will treat the symptoms – but seeing a Chiropractor might just get to the root of the problem and correct the CAUSE of the pain. They look specifically to the nervous system of the body. This system controls everything, from reflexive responses like breathing to every movement we make. Since nerves run up the spine and radiate out through the body, Chiropractors believe that spine health is everything.
Pain patients tend to be very familiar with pain medications, both prescription and over-the-counter, but Chiropractic adjustments can provide totally drug-free pain relief. It’s a great option for anyone interested in reducing medication use. Dr. Amundson utilize this drug-free approach since she treats the whole body as an holistic system, focusing less on symptoms and more on maintaining a healthy body. It’s the foundation for her approach to patient care. Although there are various techniques that Chiropractors use to treat patients, none of them are as invasive as surgery, and patients report few, if any, side effects as are common with medications. For many patients, this one of the most important benefits of Chiropractic Care.
Managing discomfort for a chronic pain patient often means utilizing a variety of different therapies, such as nerve blocks, nutraceutical supplements, hot or cold therapy, acupuncture or transcutaneous electrical nervous stimulation (TENS). Because chiropractic care is drug-free, it can be used in conjunction with almost any other therapy (although it’s always important to make sure your entire healthcare team is aware of all other treatments).
Dr. Amundson has many different techniques and tools at her disposal. If you have mobility issues or a painful body part, let Dr. Amundson know. She will most likely be able to find a way to work around the problem. This can be done by tables that are modified for specific body shapes or sizes, or tools that can soften chiropractic adjustments. Dr. Amundson is also transparent when it comes to first time patients, explaining every step of the chiropractic adjustment technique and process.
