CHIROPRACTIC CARE

Dr. Theron Hall is the owner and treating doctor at Bodyworks Chiropractic. He uses a variety of techniques suited to each patient and their condition, and provides care for infants, children, teens, adults and seniors.  

His approach is holistic, preferring to examine and adjust all segments of the spine, as well as other joints like shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles, fingers and toes as needed. These adjustments to areas other than the spine are called extra-spinal manipulations. 

What are the benefits of chiropractic adjustments? Benefits of getting adjusted include spinal alignment and improved funcion,  increased neuron firing to the brain, increased mobility, muscle tone reduced pain and inflammation. 

What is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic is a drug-free, non-surgical science that focuses on the muskulo-skeletal system, particularly the spine. Our nervous system controls the function of virtually every cell, tissue, organ and system of our body.  It consists of your brain, spinal cord and all of the nerves in your body. Your spinal cord is covered by 24 moving vertebrae.  When these bones lose their normal motion or position, they can irritate the nervous system or fail to get vital information to the spinal cord and brain. Chiropractic therapy is the science of locating these areas of spinal malfunction and correcting them through a natural approach.

When the 24 bones that protect the spinal cord lose their normal position or motion, delicate nerve tissue can become choked or irritated. If a thorough examination reveals malfunctioning areas of the spine, chiropractic adjustments are recommended to help correct this condition. A chiropractic adjustment is the use of a specific force in  precise directions, applied to a joint that is fixated, “locked up” or not moving properly. Adjustments help return the bones to a more normal position or motion, relieving pain and improving health. The doctor uses his hands, or a specially designed instrument to deliver a brief and highly accurate thrust. After years of training, each doctor has mastered a variety of methods and become skilled in their delivery. Regardless of the technique used, each chiropractic adjustment is tailored to the patient’s age, size, and unique spinal problem. These adjustments are gentle, safe, and effective. Adjustments help normalize spinal function and avoid bone and soft tissue degeneration. When nervous system function improves in this way, the body can begin the natural healing process.

Each chiropractic manipulation positively affects the joints, the muscles, and the nervous system: 

  1. Restores proper alignment of vertebrae
  2. Reduces pressure on nerves, and improves nerve function
  3. Increases joint mobility and range of motion
  4. Helps to break MUSCLE spasms, and restore proper muscle tone- reducing inflammation
  5. Removes pressure on NERVES  which increases proper nervous and immune system function

Chiropractic works by restoring proper movement and function of the spine and nervous system.  A loss of normal motion or position of these bones can irritate or impair the function of the nervous system. This can disrupt the transmission of controlling nerve impulses. With improved spinal function there is often improved nervous system function. Also proper movement and range of motion reduces pain and helps prevent injury.  

WHAT IS THAT POPPING NOISE?

You may feel and hear a popping or cracking sensations during a chiropractic adjustment. These are gases, like oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide, being released from your joints. Gas gets trapped in small cavities of your joints when you move and stretch. While this gas release may be more apparent during a chiropractic adjustment, you experience a similar sound when you crack your knuckles.

A chiropractor holds a doctorate degree in chiropractic sciences. After receiving a Bachelor’s degree, it takes three to four more years at a professional school, and an clinical internship in order to obtain the D.C. degree.  Each state requires you pass the boards and be licensed. Chiropractic school follows the same curriculum requirements as medical school in the physical sciences, neurology, biochemistry, and anatomy. However the pharmacology courses are replaced with the study of chiropractic manipulation techniques, physical therapy, nutrition and holistic sciences.  

You cannot adjust yourself. A chiropractic adjustment requires a professional applying specific force in a precise direction to a spinal joint. While twisting or bending may create a “popping” sound, it’s not the same as a proper adjustment and can worsen instability, leading to more pain and hypermobility.

Since significant spinal trauma can occur at birth, many parents have their newborns checked for the Vertebral Subluxation Complex. Later, learning to walk, ride a bicycle and other childhood activities can cause spinal problems. While a bandage and some comforting words can help a skinned knee, the unseen damage to the child’s spine is the unique domain of a chiropractic doctor. Many childhood health complaints that are brushed off as “growing pains” can often be traced to the spine. Regular chiropractic checkups can identify these problems and help avoid many of the health complaints seen later in adults. Naturally, chiropractic adjusting procedures are modified to a child’s spine. Most parents report that their children enjoy their chiropractic adjustments and respond very quickly to their care. 

More and more people are consulting chiropractic doctors, especially in their later years. With growing concerns about over-medication and the side effects of combining various prescription drugs, safe, natural chiropractic care is growing in popularity. Restoring better spinal function can help improve mobility, vitality, endurance and appetite. Many patients report improvement with arthritic symptoms and other chronic ailments often associated with the aging process. Chiropractic adjustments are a conservative and safe treatment for people of all ages.  

At Bodyworks Chiropractic Center, our goal is to restore health, function, and eliminate pain. Chiropractic treatment is just one part of the process. Patients who have the best results are compliant with  the recommended stretches, exercises, postural adjustments, and lifestyle changes.  These are things you can do on your own to  retain the benefits of the chiro adjustment, and prevent injury.  

There are three main phases of chiropractic care:

  1. Initial/Pain Relief 
    Most cases improve after a few treatments, but chronic pain may require 4-8 visits. Treatment length and intensity depend on your diagnosis and goals.

  2. Corrective/Rehabilitative and strengthening 

    Chronic pain often stems from muscle weakness, tissue damage, and spinal degeneration. Strengthening surrounding muscles and tissues gives you the best chance of success.  

  3. Wellness/Maintenance
    Periodic chiropractic checkups help many stay mobile and pain-free. While some only seek care during crises, our office is here for all patients, regardless of their health goals. How long you continue care is up to you.

Chiropractic has an excellent safety record. It is the result of a conservative approach to health that avoids invasive procedures or addictive drugs. A thorough case history and examination helps reveal areas of the spine that may be causing nervous system malfunction. This information will be used to determine the best course of care for each patient. Chiropractic care is a natural approach to better health that is proven safe and effective. The Manga Report, was a Canadian research study done by the Ontario Ministry of Health to examine the effectiveness of spinal manipulation for low back pain. The governmental panel of health experts found that spinal manipulation by chiropractors is more effective, less costly and often safer than medical treatments for low back pain. In 1994 the United States government put together a panel of medical doctors and other health professionals to review current research and develop federal guidelines for the Agency of Health Care Policy & Research. The study recommends treating acute low back problems with spinal manipulation by a trained professional. The British Medical Journal published two studies comparing chiropractic treatment vs. medical treatment for low back pain. The study showed that patients who were treated by the doctor of chiropractic improved faster, were much better at 6 months and remained better over a two year period.
