TREATMENT METHOD
Chiropractic
Chiropractic focuses on examining and treating blockages in the spine to support nerve function and freedom of movement.
Meaning of chiropractic
The word chiropractic comes from Greek. “Cheir” means hand and “praxis” means acting or treating. Loosely translated, chiropractic therefore means: treating with the hands.
The meaning of chiropractic lies in the relationship between structure and function in the body.
The skull and the spine protect the nervous system. This nervous system controls all processes in the body, such as movement, muscle function, sensation, and reflexes. When the freedom of movement of vertebrae or joints is reduced, this can affect the functioning of the nervous system.
Chiropractic focuses on restoring this freedom of movement.
How does chiropractic work?
The human body has a great capacity for self-healing. A prerequisite for this is that the nervous system functions properly.
A chiropractor examines whether the spine and joints can move freely. When restrictions are found, this can disrupt signal transmission within the nervous system. Through targeted, controlled adjustments, an attempt is made to reduce these movement restrictions so that the body can function better.
Where do symptoms come from?
Symptoms often arise from a combination of factors such as:
Prolonged poor posture
OVERLOAD
Insufficient movement
Stress
hormonal changes
sports or previous injuries
What is a chiropractor?
A chiropractor is a university-trained healthcare professional who specializes in examining and treating the nervous system, the spine, and the joints.
Chiropractic education focuses on:
- Anatomy and neurology
- Biomechanics and movement analysis
- Making a diagnosis
- Treating functional disorders
Within chiropractic, a disruption in the function of the nervous system is also called a subluxation complex.
Chiropractic techniques we use
Within our practice, we use various chiropractic techniques. Each technique has its own approach and is carefully tailored to the complaint, age, and the body’s load capacity.
What does a chiropractor do during a treatment?
A treatment always starts with a thorough examination. The chiropractor assesses, among other things:
- Posture and movement
- The mobility of the spine
- The function of joints
- Neurological responses
Based on this, a treatment plan is drawn up. With targeted corrections, we work on improving freedom of movement and the cooperation between the nervous system and the body.
Which complaints is chiropractic used for?
Chiropractic is often used for complaints such as:
- Neck and back pain
- Headache and migraine
- Shoulder and arm complaints
- Sports injuries
- Chronic pain complaints
Whether chiropractic is suitable in your situation is always determined based on a personal examination.
