Golden Hands Chiropractic Clinic

Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health. Chiropractic care is used most often to treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited to back pain, neck pain, and pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches.

Doctors of Chiropractic – often referred to as chiropractors or chiropractic physicians – practice a drug-free, hands-on approach to health care that includes patient examination, diagnosis and treatment. Chiropractors have broad diagnostic skills and are also trained to recommend therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises, as well as to provide nutritional, dietary and lifestyle counseling.

The most common therapeutic procedure performed by doctors of chiropractic is known as “spinal manipulation,” also called “chiropractic adjustment.” The purpose of manipulation is to restore joint mobility by manually applying a controlled force into joints that have become restricted in their movement – as a result of a tissue injury. Tissue injury can be caused by a single traumatic event, such as improper lifting of a heavy object, or through repetitive stresses, such as sitting in an awkward position with poor spinal posture for an extended period of time. In either case, injured tissues undergo physical and chemical changes that can cause inflammation, pain, and diminished function for the sufferer. Manipulation, or adjustment of the affected joint and tissues, restores mobility, thereby alleviating pain and muscle tightness, and allowing tissues to heal.

Chiropractic has not changed in it's concepts of health care and preventative care since its inception because the human body has not changed. The laws that govern our physiology, chemistry and biology have been and will be the same, and it is these laws that ensure the effectiveness of Chiropractic care.

The incredibly powerful science of Chiropractic is founded in its ability to help your body reconnect with its innate, or inborn, potential to heal itself. Your brain controls all the daily functions of the body, whether awake or sleeping. Millions of chemical reactions and bodily functions to all of your organs are controlled by the brain and communicated through the spinal cord every minute. Your spinal column, your backbones, are the protective encasing for the spinal cord as well as the structural framework for all of you muscles ligaments and tendons to attach to. It is the alignment, positioning, and function of the joints that directly affects the flow of nerves from your brain to all parts of the body. That is why chiropractic care is the forefront of preventative health care.

The doctor of the future is the Chiropractor. No other health care practitioner will help your body prevent the onset of disease and spinal decay like your Chiropractor. Much like your dentist helps prevent disease of the mouth and decay of teeth and gums, the Chiropractor will help prevent the degeneration of your spine and the nerve interference that comes along with it. Everyone knows they are supposed to go see their dentist once a year for x-rays and several times a year for cleanings and check-ups. Doesn't it make sense to have your spine screened and checked for possible problems? Most of the disorders that the Chiropractor must tend to are preventable problems that could have been avoided with early detection.

Play it smart, have your spine and those of your loved ones checked today!
