Chiropractic Therapy, More Than Just Moving Bones…

Scientific studies by medical doctors and independent researchers have found time and time again that for lower back pain, there’s nothing better than chiropractic treatment. These studies have found that it’s cheaper and there are no side effects which more and more people don’t want to risk drug side effects anymore.

What they put up with instead are sessions ranging from three to four minutes to as much as one half hour of highly trained and specific hands-on manipulations (moving many bones) and adjustments (moving just one bone)made on the spinal column when necessary.

“Actually, theres more to spines and chipropractic than just aches and pains,” says Dr. Harvey Leister, a chiropractic practitioner . Chiropractors are more nerve than bone doctors and are concerned primarily with the unimpeded workings of the nervous system. Irritation on the nerves, which are normally found between spinal bones, can lead to problems with the organs, can manifest as a nagging headache, spasmic backache, killer ulcer, or chronic ashma attack.

To cure these effects, chiropractically, a more effective and certainly lasting solution would be to search for the cause of the problem that might be to relieve aggravated nerves which supply the structure, said Dr. Leister.

“Chiropractors believe that everybody can be healthy if the spine is working well. When the spine is working well and there’s no irritation on the nerves, that means there’s no interference to normal organ functions,” the doctor explained.
