Chiropractic is now one of the most important primary healthcare professions in Canada.Here is the definition of chiropractic:<\/p>\n
“Chiropractic is based on the principle that the relationship between structure and function in the human body is an important factor in health, and that this relationship between the spine and the nervous system is the most significant, as the normal transmission and expression of nerve energy are essential to the restoration and maintenance of good health.”<\/p>\n
“Chiropractic is that science and art which has utilized the body’s inherent restorative powers and the relationship between musculoskeletal structures and bodily functions, particularly those of the spine and nervous system, in the restoration and maintenance of health.”<\/p>\n
Chiropractic is one of the three major schools of health, the other two being allopathy (conventional medicine) and osteopathy. Chiropractic is based on the understanding that good health depends, in part, on a normally functioning nervous system.Bodily structures such as cellsAnd the organs function through impulses transmitted by the nerves.When these nerve impulses travel without interruption, the organs and cells are able to function normally.When there is interference, the tissues and organs cannot function properly, and a state of dysfunction can begin, predisposing the body to a pathological state and less than optimal health.<\/p>\n
\n
The practices and procedures that may be employed by Doctors of Chiropractic are based on academic and clinical training obtained in, but not limited to, the use of diagnostic and therapeutic techniques specifically including the adjustment and manipulation of joints and adjacent tissues of the human body, particularly the spine, and the treatment of intersegmental disorders to mitigate associated neurological aberrations.<\/p>\n
Patient care is provided with due consideration of environmental, nutritional, and psychotherapeutic factors, as well as first aid, hygiene, sanitation, rehabilitation, and physiological therapy procedures designed to aid in the restoration and maintenance of neurological integrity and homeostatic balance.<\/p>\n
Adjustment, which is the correction of misaligned vertebrae, is generally performed manually.It involves placing the patient on a specially designed adjustment table and applying pressure, using specialized techniques, to areas of the spine that are misaligned or do not move properly through their normal range of motion.<\/p>\n
\n
An adjustment\/manipulation is a treatment that uses the physician’s hands to apply bodily leverage and physical pressure to a joint or group of joints to restore associated joint and tissue function.Through the use of manipulation, the physician seeks to relieve symptoms, improve joint and muscle function, and accelerate recovery.Spinal manipulation is the most common form of manipulation.Manipulation should not be confused with other forms of manual therapy such as mobilization and massage.<\/p>\n
\n
Yes!As the benefits and safety of spinal manipulation become more widely known, it is increasingly recognized as a safe and effective option for treating back problems.<\/p>\n
The most recent evidence for the effectiveness of spinal manipulation comes from a landmark study conducted by the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research, a federal government research organization.In this study, a panel of healthcare experts analyzed the available scientific evidence on all examination and treatment methods used for acute lower back problems in adults and drew conclusions about their appropriateness and effectiveness.Among their most significant findings, they confirmed that spinal manipulation is a safe and effective initial form of treatment for this problem.This panel also strongly recommended that physicians and patients consider using the most conservative treatment approach first for this common problem.Spinal manipulation is drug-free.<\/p>\n
\n
Yes!When administered by a qualified physician who is well-trained and experienced in spinal manipulation, it is one of the safest non-surgical, drug-free procedures available.<\/p>\n
Clinical studies show that complications from manipulation are rare.So rare, in fact, that physicians who perform manipulations have the lowest malpractice insurance costs of any practicing physician.This means that when manipulation is performed by a Doctor of Chiropractic, the potential risk of manipulation complications is at its lowest.<\/p>\n
A word of caution.Spinal manipulation is as much an art as a clinical science.It should not be performed by unqualified individuals.As more people become aware of the effectiveness of manipulation, unlicensed or untrained individuals may believe they can also perform it safely and effectively.For your own safety, when choosing a physician to treat your back problem, be sure to select a chiropractor who is well-trained and experienced in this form of care.<\/p>\n
\n
Doctors of Chiropractic (DCs) are the public’s first choice for manipulation treatments.A summer 1994 study by the prestigious healthcare research organization Louis Harris & Associates confirms this as a fact.This nationwide survey reveals that nearly half of the general public and six out of ten of those who have sought professional care for a back problem in the recent past consider chiropractic doctors (CDs) to be the most skilled in using spinal manipulation.And the majority of those who have consulted other physicians for a back problem also consider CDs to be more adept at using manipulation than their physician or osteopath.<\/p>\n
A chiropractic doctor’s clinical expertise stems from their training and clinical experience, having dedicated over 85% of their daily practice to the differential diagnosis of patient complaints and the management of neuromusculoskeletal (NMS) disorders.A CD’s training and experience enable them to identify health problems most likely to respond to chiropractic management and to personally and safely administer the appropriate treatment.<\/p>\n
\n
Ask your insurance plan administrator to add comprehensive coverage for chiropractic services<\/a> direct access for you and your dependents.And be sure to specify that you want these chiropractic services provided only by a Doctor of Chiropractic.<\/p>\n \n Doctors of Chiropractic are primary healthcare providers under federal and state regulations.This means that chiropractors can serve as entry points into the healthcare delivery system.In chiropractic care, a patient is treated or referred after a complete differential diagnosis is performed using an orthopedic and neurological examination, an X-ray if necessary, and laboratory procedures if deemed appropriate for the patient’s complaint.Through consultation and examination, the Doctor of Chiropractic will establish a prognosis for chiropractic care or refer the patient to a specialized healthcare professional.<\/p>\n \n The professional order allows physicians to refer patients to Doctors of Chiropractic and to accept patient referrals from chiropractors.Many physicians have had close professional relationships with Doctors of Chiropractic for years.The chiropractic profession continues to work to strengthen interprofessional referrals so that residents of the City of Montreal benefit from the best care offered by both types of practitioners.<\/p>\n \n According to a Gallup survey, Montrealers use chiropractic care for back and spinal problems (75%), relief from aches, pains, and tension (14%), neck problems (14%), and muscle pain, spasms, or headaches (9%).Chiropractors not only successfully treat a wide variety of health problems but also contribute to an individual’s overall health and well-being.<\/p>\n \nHow do you know when to use a Doctor of Chiropractic?<\/h2>\n
