Chiropractic Care in Sarasota

Your body is a wonderful, self-regulating, self-healing, organism. Think about it! When you cut a finger or break a bone, it isn’t the Band-Aid or the cast that does the healing. You were born with an infinite “Inner Wisdom” programmed for optimal health and healing; this inner wisdom is housed in your nervous system. Your nervous system transports vital information and messages from your brain to every cell, tissue, and organ in your body and then back again to the brain. It sends billions of electrical impulses, back and forth, keeping your body in a state of optimal function, health, and healing.

Pain and symptoms are simply the body’s warning signals that something is terribly wrong. Since only 15% of your nervous system is dedicated towards pain, months and years of nerve damage could occur before you realize there is a problem. Much like high blood pressure, heart disease and cancer, you could develop a state of malfunction and disease before your feel a symptom… these effects could lead to disability and an early demise.

The typical response from Western Medicine to pain is usually to prescribe pain killers, anti- inflammatory drugs, or muscle relaxants. These drugs can mask your symptoms, often leaving the root cause of your condition untouched and leading to serious side effects. Medical malpractice is the fifth leading cause of death in North America after heart disease, cancer, alcohol, and smoking. We all have 24 moveable vertebrae of the spinal column, which house and protect our nervous system. Traumas such as car accidents, sports injuries, poor posture, the birth process and even gravity itself can cause misalignments of your spinal vertebrae called subluxations. These subluxations interrupt vital nerve flow, the body’s “inner wisdom,” and thus your health potential. If subluxations are left uncorrected, then spinal decay, (Subluxation Degeneration) and years of unwanted health conditions can occur. Doctors of Chiropractic possess the unique expertise as the only trained professionals to detect and correct spinal subluxations, greatly improving the body’s ability to heal to its full potential.

Chiropractic care offers various potential benefits, though individual experiences may vary. Some of these advantages include:

1. Pain relief: Chiropractic adjustments can alleviate pain, particularly in the back, neck, and joints. It’s often used as a non-invasive approach to managing chronic pain.
2. Improved mobility: By addressing joint restrictions and misalignments, chiropractic care can enhance joint function and mobility, allowing for better range of motion.
3. Better posture: Regular adjustments can help correct posture issues caused by misalignments, reducing strain on muscles and improving overall posture.
4. Enhanced nervous system function: Chiropractic care focuses on the spine, which houses the nervous system. Improving spinal health can positively impact nervous system function, potentially benefiting various bodily functions.
5. Headache relief: Some individuals find relief from certain types of headaches, like tension headaches or those caused by neck issues, through chiropractic adjustments.
6. Complementary treatment: Chiropractic care can complement other healthcare approaches, such as physical therapy or rehabilitation, to support overall wellness and recovery.
