Whole Person Chiropractic Care

There are many ways of dealing with back problems these days. If one has back pain there is an entire menu of caring individuals to consult with to receive help. Physiotherapists, massage therapists, athletic therapists, Rekki masters, acupuncturists and of course chiropractors to name a few. Chiropractors are usually thought of as taking care of back pain as their main focus. I would like to change that perspective.

As a chiropractor, it’s great when I am able to help someone through an episode of back pain or headaches. This provides a valuable service that allows them to lead a more comfortable and productive life in the short term. On the other hand, there is different approach to chiropractic care that can lead to a new and vital life. It doesn’t just deal with back pain; it deals with the entire individual over the long term – whole person chiropractic care. 

Chiropractors can affect the whole person by helping the spine support the nervous system. The spine houses and protects the nervous system. The nervous system is the link between the brain and the body, carrying the messages that control, heal and organize your body. If the spine misaligns, something chiropractors call a subluxation, then the life giving messages that run your body are not received clearly. These subluxations are often painless so they don’t come immediately to your attention. But if these persistent disturbances remain, your entire being is affected. It impacts you at every human level: your mental, physical, immune, emotional, and spiritual health are diminished.

The unique role whole person chiropractic care can play is one of connection. We look for subluxations in your spine that are interfering with the nervous system. We then adjust the subluxations (restore the alignment) so that the vital information can flow through the nervous system. This reconnection allows you the opportunity to experience life from a more complete perspective. It enhances all the healthy habits you may already have in place. Since this type of care involves you and not just your pain, how long would you like to be at or near your best? Just for a couple of weeks, a month or for the rest of your life?

Your health, wholeness and well being is about all of you. Whole person chiropractic care has the same objectives, changing and improving every aspect of you over a lifetime. Start the journey today.
