Chiropractic as a Whole

Like conventional medicine, chiropractic is based upon scientific principles of diagnosis through testing and empirical observations. Treatment is based upon the practitioner’s rigorous training and clinical experience. Unlike conventional medicine, which focuses on attempting to treat disease once it occurs and from the outside in, chiropractic attempts to improve the health of the individual in an effort to avoid illness in the first place and believes that the body heals from the inside out. Most people would rather be healthy and avoid illnesses if they could. This is one of the main reasons for the big upsurge in the popularity of chiropractic here in Scotts Bluff County and around the world. People are recognizing the benefit of seeking an alternative to traditional medicine; a drug-free approach that will help them achieve and maintain optimal health.

What Differentiates Chiropractic From Other Healthcare Options?

Chiropractors are the only professionals who are trained to diagnose and treat what are called spinal “subluxations”. Spinal subluxation is a term used in chiropractic to describe a misalignment or dysfunction of the vertebrae in the spine. This misalignment may result in nerve interference or irritation, which can affect the function of the nervous system and lead to a variety of health issues. Our Doctors like to describe subluxation as “stress stuck in the nervous system”. In all, the Vertebral Subluxation Complex” includes neurological, structural , and functional changes that occur due to a stressed out nervous system causing a bony misalignment.

The chiropractic approach to health care is holistic, meaning that it addresses your overall health. It recognizes that many lifestyle factors such as exercise, diet, rest, and environmental impact your health. For this reason, our chiropractors recommend changes in lifestyle, nutrition, exercise, and sleeping habits after the nervous system is balanced and ready to take on more good inputs.

Chiropractic is so much more than simply a means of relieving pain. Ultimately, the goal of the chiropractic adjustment is to restore the body to its natural state of optimal health and improve your resiliency and adaptability to life stressors.. Since the body has a remarkable ability to heal itself and to maintain its own health, the primary focus is simply to remove the subluxations which interfere with the body’s normal healing ability.

Why X-Rays?

Depending on your specific condition, we may take X-rays. This imaging helps us develop the most effective treatment plan for you and alert us of any serious spinal conditions. Most people are amazed once they see their X-rays up close. In some cases, the patient is even able to identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves before we go over them.

X-rays are usually taken at your first visit in the office and the results are shown to you at your second visit during the report of findings.

*Our Doctors have other options in assessing the nervous system for children and pregnant women.
