Discover the latest advancement in spinal health care available today
Even though traditional Chiropractic has served millions of patients over more than 110 years, spinal corrective chiropractic care is the most cutting edge approach available today. While you may be accustomed to a doctor focused on only short term care and pain relief for spine and muscle aches, there has been incredible advancements over the last two decades of which you should be aware. This awareness will most likely be the difference between a healthy or unhealthy future.
All of the Association of Chiropractic Colleges and most radiologists and orthopedists agree that a deviation in spinal alignment is called a “subluxation.” Because spinal vertebrae are attached to muscles and ligaments and surround and protect the spinal cord and nerves – subluxation is a complex problem. When spinal vertebrae misalign, muscles and ligaments are stretched and potentially damaged and the spinal cord and nerves are compromised. This leads to not only the possibility of painful conditions, but neurological and organ problems as well.
When subluxation exists, it’s critical for you to not just merely treat back pain, manipulate the spine, or seek only a short term solution. It’s imperative to fully correct the condition – something not always done by traditional Chiropractic practitioners. This is, however, the goal of certified Maximized Living doctors.
The benefits of full spinal correction are not just pain relief, but also greater neurological health, maximized organ function, prevention of spinal degeneration, optimum range of motion, high performance, and a far greater resistance to injury.
The spine and nervous system control all function and healing in your body. Unfortunately, today’s lifestyle makes it very common and likely that the spine will move from its correct position and actually interfere with or damage the nervous system.
The spine consists of 24 movable bones that are broken down into spinal units that need to remain in alignment. Should these units misalign, they cause pressure on the spinal nerves and potentially the spinal cord. Additionally, the spine should be straight from the front and have 3 curves from the side in order to allow for healthy nerve function and not be causing compression and degeneration of the spine.
A chiropractor requires specialized training beyond graduation, in evaluating these spinal units and spinal curves. This type of training teaches how the spinal units and curves influence each other – which is necessary in order to understand how to actually correct the spine rather than to just simply manipulate it. Maximized Living doctors are certified in this specialized training.
When the spine is positioned properly and the individual units and curves are functioning normally in relationship to each other you have a tremendous ability to protect your nervous system; which is the lifeline to all of your organs and functions.
