What Chiropratic Care REALLY Is
Contrary to popular belief, chiropractors at our clinic don’t simply align the spine or put things back into place. Instead, we focus on adding motion to joints to stimulate muscle changes through brain connections. In this blog post, we’ll explore some common misconceptions about chiropractic care and unveil the science-backed truths behind our approach.
Myth 1: Chiropractors Align the Spine
Truth: At Axon Integrative Health, we prioritize a holistic approach that goes beyond the outdated “spinal alignment”. Our chiropractors emphasize the importance of adding motion to joints. By doing so, we aim to stimulate muscle changes through intricate connections with the brain. Rather than a one-size-fits-all adjustment, our approach is tailored to address the specific needs of each individual, fostering a comprehensive and personalized healing experience.
Myth 2: Chiropractors Put Things Back Into Place
Truth: The notion of putting bones or joints back into place is a common misconception associated with chiropractic care. However, at Axon Integrative Health, we focus on supplying sensory input through the neuro-musculoskeletal system. This approach is designed to trigger local tissue and brain changes in the somatosensory cortex, positively influencing the presenting problem. Our emphasis is on enhancing the body’s natural ability to heal by optimizing the flow of information between the nervous system and muscles.
Myth 3: Chiropractic Care Is Only for Back Pain
Truth: While chiropractic care is often sought for back pain relief, its benefits extend far beyond spinal issues. At Axon Integrative Health, our chiropractors are trained to address a wide range of conditions, including headaches, joint pain, and even neurological issues. By focusing on adding motion to joints and stimulating muscle changes through brain connections, we contribute to overall wellness and help individuals achieve optimal functionality in various aspects of their lives.
Myth 4: Chiropractic Adjustments Are Painful
Truth: The idea that chiropractic adjustments are inherently painful is another misconception. At Axon Integrative Health, our skilled chiropractors prioritize patient comfort and utilize gentle techniques. The goal is to facilitate positive changes in the body without causing unnecessary discomfort. By employing a patient-centered approach, we ensure that individuals feel at ease throughout their chiropractic care journey.
Myth 5: The Chiropractic Adjustment is the End-All-Be-All
Truth: The chiropractic adjustment is a great tool, but it is just a tool in the shed of many others. It is not for everybody nor is it needed for every problem. There are alternatives like Muscle Release Techniques and passive modalities like e-stim, laser, shockwave, dry needling, and so much more.
We take pride in dispelling common myths and outdated claims surrounding chiropractic care. Our approach goes beyond traditional spinal alignment, focusing on adding motion to joints to stimulate muscle changes through brain connections. We do not claim to put things back into place; instead, we supply scientific and evidence-based care. Chiropractic care at Axon Integrative Health is a holistic and personalized experience, aiming to optimize overall wellness and empower individuals on their path to healing.
