Southlake chiropractic - Chiropractic recognizes that the body has a powerful inner ability to heal itself. It recognizes that the master system of the body is the nervous system which controls all cells and organs in the body. When there is interference to the nervous system, loss of function and disease of the body will result.

Chiropractic works to help remove interference to the nervous system to allow proper communication of the brain to the body through the nerves. It is common for this disruption of communication to occur when bones of the spine become misaligned. This is because these misaligned bones will irritate surrounding tissues and cause pressure on the nerves in and around the joints. This will cause interference to the normal flow of energy through the nerves.

Chiropractic is very effective in helping neuromusculoskeletal complaints which are often caused by irritation of the nerve system. Some of these include but are not limited to neck pain, back pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs and headaches.

Chiropractors practice a natural, drug-free hands on approach to health care. This will include a patient examination, diagnosis and treatment. Chiropractors are also trained to provide therapy modalities and recommend therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises. They also provide dietary, nutritional and lifestyle counseling.

The most common procedure which chiropractors perform is a chiropractic adjustment or spinal manipulation. The purpose of this procedure is to restore motion and alignment to spinal bones and other joints of the body that become misplaced. They do this by applying a controlled force into the joint that is restricted.

Joints can become injured through a single traumatic event, such as a car accident or improper lifting. They can also become injured through repetitive stress, such as through improper lifting or sitting in an awkward position over a period of time. In addition to the joints becoming misaligned, the tissues around the joint can become inflamed and damaged. This can result in pain and loss of function. Manipulation or adjustments help to restore proper motion and allow the surrounding tissues to heal. For example chiropractic adjustments can help to reduce inflammation and muscle spasm of muscles that are often affected.

Chiropractic is often the primary method of treatment of conditions such as low back pain. Chiropractic can also compliment treatment of conditions where other medical treatment is required. Chiropractic will focus on helping the musculoskeletal component of the condition involved. Chiropractors work with other health care professionals to coordinate and provide the health care needed.

Chiropractic Physicians work to assess patients through clinical examination, diagnostic imaging and laboratory testing. These diagnostic tests help to determine when chiropractic is needed and when it is not. These tests also help to determine what will be the most effective treatment for the patient. Chiropractors are trained to refer to other health care providers when needed.
