Mill Hall Chiropractic Life Center

Developed over 100 years ago, this conservative, drug-free, surgery-free approach to optimal health is based on the premise that the relationship between the body's structure and function is a significant factor in your health.

Chiropractic is a healing discipline firmly grounded in science. Although its main focus is the relationship between the skeleton (particularly the spine) and the nervous system that runs through it, chiropractic is concerned with the care of the entire body.

Chiropractors use various diagnostic methods, including x-rays, to discover the state of your health, paying particular attention to your spine and bone structure. Spinal manipulation and other manual adjustments are their primary methods of helping your body heal itself.

Research shows that chiropractic spinal manipulation has superior results in:

Reducing Back Pain
Reducing Neck Pain
Reducing Headache Pain
Increasing Range of Motion in Joints

There is an overwhelming body of evidence indicating that chiropractic management of lower back pain is more cost-effective than medical management. This evidence includes studies showing lower chiropractic costs for the same diagnosis and episodic need for care.1

The symptoms listed on the next page are an indication of how successful chiropractic care can be in the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries.

Is it Safe?
Chiropractic is the safest form of treatment as proven in numerous studies.

For example, a review by Paul Jaskoviak, D.C., D.A.C.A.N. reporting on the National College of Chiropractic Clinics experience during a 15 year period, concluded that five million chiropractic treatments were performed without a single case vertebral artery injury or stroke.2

"There is no clinical or case controlled study that demonstrates or even implies that chiropractic spinal manipulation is unsafe in the treatment of lower back pain. Some medical treatments are unsafe and generate iatrogenic* complications. Our reading of the literature suggests that chiropractic manipulation is safer than medical treatment in lower back pain." 3
-The Magna Report

Subluxation:
1. A minor misalignment of the segment of the spine (vertebrae) causing an irritation to a nerve with a loss of normal function.

2. An interuption of communication from the brain to any cell, tissue or organ in the body.

How Chiropractic works to address the CAUSE of health problems:

Every cell in your body has a nerve that goes to it. The same nerve that goes to a muscle or skin cell also goes to the organs, glands, tissues and blood vessels in that area. Your brain and central nervous system control how all parts and systems of your body perform their functions. Irritation to nerves can cause functional problems like headaches, fatigue, sinus allergies and sleep problems, irritability and digestive problems. It can cause sensory problems like pain, tension, tingling and numbness.

How chiropractic works is similar to removing a pebble from a shoe.
Have you ever had a pebble in your shoe?

A tiny pebble, because of its constant irritation of a nerve, can drive you crazy. At first it feels like a pressure, then an irritation, and finally, pain.

What happens if you move the pebble around in your shoe, but you don’t remove it. It hurts everywhere it goes, doesn’t it? That’s because there is a nerve to every cell in your body.

So what did you do about the pebble? You took your shoe off and took it out, right?

If someone else had a pebble in their shoe and told you they were taking medication for the pebble irritation, that would be ridiculous, wouldn’t it?

It is not logical to treat a physical problem with a chemical solution!

If they performed surgery on their foot for pebble irritation, that would be extreme, wouldn’t it?

The correct thing to do would be to remove the pebble from the shoe. It’s a physical problem causing the irritation. And that’s what chiropractors do.

Chiropractors are nerve doctors. They treat your nerves without drugs and surgery. They are trained to locate tiny areas of irritation to your nerves and remove them safely and painlessly. By removing irritation, chiropractic allows your body to function properly and to heal itself.

There are many research studies that show chiropractic is the treatment of choice for infantile colic, bed wetting, ear infections, asthma, and many other childhood infections.

PREVENTATIVE CARE
Once parents understand how chiropractic care can improve nerve function, they opt for preventative care for their children.  Children do not usually have aches and pains, but they may have hidden spinal misalignments that can affect their overall health.  These misalignments can occur from birth, falls, bike wrecks, sports -- you know, from being a kid.

If your child has one of the following they may benefit from chiropractic care:

• Frequent ear infections
• Asthma or allergy-type symptoms
• Complaints of back pain, stiff necks, or headaches
• One shoulder or hip higher than the other
• Clothes fit unevenly
• One foot pointing in or out

There are 4 basic stages of health. Below is a table that outlines each.
Stage 1 Malfunction		When care is sought in stage 1,2 or the top of stage 3 - costly surgery and drug therapy may be avoided, saving many thousands in cost of care and resulting in better quality of life.
Stage 2 Disease
Stage 3 Minor Symptoms ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Major Symptoms		This is the stage where people tend to seek traditional medical treatment.
Stage 4 Danger The body is in danger and approaching death.		At this point it is often too late to treat easily or effectively. Extraordinary medical procedures required.
