Rumors about Chiropractic

Rumors about Chiropractic will persist if there is little to educate the public. Chiropractic patients recieve education about the reality of chiropractic. That is, that chiropractic does ot treat a condition, but instead only detects and corrects a subluxated joint. A subluxated joint, or a misaligned joint, causes irritation to the associated nerves, thereby causing pain and malfunction in the body. Many diseases can be linked back to this situation. Irritated nerves will not allow proper nerve flow and will result in a decrease in the organ or body part to function at peak capacity. People who are in automobile accidents freuently experience this phenomenon. Chiropractic works. It does not create a scenario of perpetual use and dependancy upon the chiropractic visit and most importantly it does not harm the patient. Chiropractors have the lowest rate for malpractice insurance. The reason is that it is safe. Medical physicians cause much more harm with the surgical procedures and medications that they administer to patients. See a chiropractor today for optimum health (like a tune up) and pain relief. The most common reason for missing work is because of low back pain. Employers and employees both lose money. Many of those people who suffer from this common problem find relief by going to a chiropractor. When it comes to low back pain, medical doctors can usually only provide medicines that mask the pain to a degree or decrease inflammation, but do little to correct the cause of the problem. Chiropractors detect and correct the cause of low back pain, getting you back to work fast and eliminating pain at its source - drug free.
Ice or heat?

Generally speaking, use ice when you have a new injury of pain. The reason for this is that there is usually inflammation, which is a hot reaction to the irritation. Heat applied to an already inflammed area usually will aggravate it. So the general rule of thumb is to use ice for the first 72 hours. After this, the application of heat is beneficial because it has a calming effect on tense muscles, and it increases circulation and thereby promotes healing. After the first 72 hours, an individual can use either heat or cold applications, whichever help them more due to individual needs. Some people will actually respond better to heat at the onset of an injury or new pain, but most should start with ice. If you are not responding to ice, then try heat. And, as always, see a chiropractor to eliminate the cause of pain.
