About Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic is a healing art that specializes in the correction of biomechanical disorders of the spine and other body parts through manual therapy. Manual and low force adjustments have a positive impact on the functioning of the nervous system and your overall health.
Patients typically wait until they develop pain before seeking treatment from a Chiropractor. Such musculoskeletal pain can arise from any of the following problems:
- Skeletal structure misalignment
- Lack of proper joint motion
- Increase in soft tissue tension (in tendons, muscles, joint capsules, or ligaments)
Why Chiropractic Care?
The brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the nervous system control all aspects of your body. When the nervous system connections between the brain and body are disrupted ones health is affected. The nervous system connects all the functioning systems in your body. When there is a disruption in the nervous system the other systems can be affected. These symptoms involve your organs, your musculoskeletal systems, and your emotional center. Chiropractic care will optimize the functions of your nervous system and create more balanced health.
Chiropractic Care Is Always Evolving
At Pacific Islands Health Center, we understand the importance of providing dedicated attention and customized care to each patient. We follow a conservative care approach to create a treatment plan based on the underlying cause of the problem and not just the symptoms. Over the years, this strategy of ours has helped our patients in multiple ways.
Our Chiropractic team follows standard diagnostic and monitoring processes to gain complete information about the patient. This includes:
- Consulting
- Reviewing case history
- Conducting physical examination
- Getting X-rays and/or laboratory tests and MRI's
We take these processes further and will conduct a careful analysis of the patient's body and spine structure. We will also require information about your lifestyle. Chiropractic care focuses on identifying the underlying cause of the problem. We will make a diagnosis after gathering all such information.
Comprehensive Treatment
At Pacific Islands Health Center, the effective and successful treatment of a condition requires a solid partnership between the doctor and the patient. This collaboration helps maximize the speed and effectiveness of the recovery and minimizes any chances of re-injury.
