Frequently Asked Questions About Chiropractic in Cedar Park

When it comes to chiropractic care, people often have unanswered questions, as many of us have never been under the care of a Doctor of Chiropractic (or a DC) and, therefore, do not know what we can expect. Below are frequently asked questions regarding chiropractic care, along with answers that can help you to better understand how it can potentially boost your overall health, both in the short and long term: 

Question #1: What does the term "chiropractic" refer to? 

"Chiropractic" refers to the factual-based idea that one's body is an organism that can both heal and regulate itself. All facets of our bodies work as a single unit, but one of the most intricate and fascinating systems is our nervous system. If this particular system becomes impaired for whatever reason, it can cause other tissues and/or organs to no longer function properly. This is referred to as Vertebral Subluxation Complex. Therefore, "chiropractic" remains the science between locating these malfunctions, and limiting their impact on the nervous system.

Question #2: What does a chiropractic adjustment entail? 

According to the Mayo Clinic's website, a chiropractic adjustment refers to "a procedure in which trained specialists (chiropractors) use their hands or a small instrument to apply a controlled, sudden force to a spinal joint". The ultimate goal of these spinal adjustments is to improve your body's overall function through manipulation of the nervous system. This particular method of adjustment has been proven to be both a safe and effective alternative to other less natural medical procedures. 

Question #3: At what age should I start receiving chiropractic care? 

While chiropractic care is generally thought to be most beneficial to people later in life, it can actually start at any age for a variety of different reasons. There have been newborn babies, children, teens, and adults who have improved their overall well being through chiropractic care. If you think that you or somebody you know could potentially benefit under the care of a Doctor of Chiropractic, don't hesitate to consult with one about your particular condition. If they don't feel that their particular expertise can help you, they will most likely be able to refer you to someone who can.
