How does it work?
Chiropractic is based on the idea of improving body mechanics both structural and postural in an effort to restore function and improve performance. Much like the mechanic that works on your car, chiropractors have the ability and skill to remove mechanical interruptions or misalignments and allow the body to perform as it was meant to.
Most Chiropractors deal with chronic and acute musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction due to long and short term trauma and overuse. These injuries are sustained through activities of daily living, sports, trauma etc.
One of the biggest culprits causing musculoskeletal pain is related to chronic injury disorder. This simply means that one or more areas has been placed under repetitive stress for a long period of time. Areas become overworked and subsequently, get weaker. Our bodies compensate for these injuries by recruiting muscles differently, changing spine shape and function etc.. Eventually, our bodies can no longer compensate for a specific series of repetitive stress injuries and symptoms begin.
Allowing a chiropractor to get you back on track will bring your body back to the proper state it should be in to perform at it's peak.
