Structural Chiropractor: Adjust the spine specifically to remove any obstructions to the nervous system due to a Structural Shift of the Spine. “Abnormal” nerve function (too much/too little) could be caused by from misaligned bones or what Structural Chiropractors commonly refer to as a “Structural Shift”.
To determine whether chiropractic will be effective or not, one must consider a few important factors:
In most cases chiropractic care will result in positive outcomes.
No. Adjustments are intended to be specific. The specificity is what makes chiropractic unique! Treating everyone the same way with the same twisting of the neck and lower back from right to left and popping everything in between is not at all specific. Anything less than specific is not chiropractic and may do more harm than good to the patient!
Maximum Chiropractic uses a 5 point System of Analysis for analyzing and adjusting the spine. We are the only office in Eureka that exclusively focuses on Structural Correction of the Spine. By thoroughly analyzing the spine through the use of x-ray, instrumentation, visualization, static and motion palpation you can expect a properly delivered adjustment.
Yes, chiropractic adjustments are safe…given that they are performed by a skilled and competent chiropractor! Anyone can make a “popping” or “cracking” noise but very few people can make a proper adjustment. This is an art or skill that takes years to become efficient at. Chiropractic has been around since 1895 with a proven track record of success!
Besides the more common symptoms of neck and back pain, patients may often find relief/support with other symptoms such as:
Just to name a few!
Absolutely! During pregnancy, a women’s body goes through some pretty dramatic changes that can create stress along the spine. If the spine was already stressed before pregnancy, chances are it will intensify during the pregnancy. Great care is taken to be sure that both the mother and her baby are safe when performing an adjustment. We utilize special adjusting tables with different modifications to give the most gentle and accurate adjustment up to the time of delivery.
Unfortunately, most people associate a “popping” or “cracking” noise as being on the same level as an adjustment. Certainly, If you rotate your spine hard enough you will likely create a loud noise! However, this in no way constitutes an adjustment and may prove to be more harmful than good!
Adjustments are specific! For instance, the Gonstead technique utilizes a listing system that helps the doctor determine how the misalignment is occurring and the best way to make the correction.
It’s important to adjust the bone in the proper direction in accordance to how the bone is misaligned. It’s of even greater importance that the adjustment reduces and eventually eliminates nerve pressure and restores vital nerve function.
Sciatica often presents itself as pain down one leg or both. Oftentimes, the pain may travel all the way to the foot. Typically, when there is misaligned bone (subluxation) in the spine, this will induce an inflammatory response in the disc that can potentially irritate the spinal nerves…in this case, the nerves that travel down the leg.
With a proper analysis, the doctor can specifically determine how vertebrae has misaligned and where the nerve pressure is being affected. This information is then used to determine the best approach to restoring proper position and motion of the subluxated vertebrae that may be affecting, in this case, the sciatic nerve.
Chiropractic Spinographs (xrays) are xrays, but not in the medical approach. Yes, a Structural Chiropractor can recognize medical emergencies such as broken bones, tumors and infections. A Spinograph is an xray with a Specific Chiropractic Analysis which helps determine where the spine went wrong and provides the blueprint for Structural Correction.
At Maximum Chiropractic our focus is Structural Correction of the spine. We use a very System of Analysis and provide Specific Chiropractic Adjustments in order to improve/correct the damage that occurs when there is a Structural Shift of the Spine. We look for a significant three-dimensional shift of the spine away from normal. These shifts cause muscles to spasm and discs and ligaments to become damaged, allowing the spinal bones to shift into abnormal positions leading to the obstruction and damage of the nervous system.
In the Private Consultation we will explain exactly how we are different from Conventional Chiropractic and how an underlying Structural Shift (if detected during your examination) is directly attributable to your condition, and how Specific Chiropractic Adjustments can correct the shift.
If we find that you have a Structural Shift, we will make a recommendation for a plan of care that is specifically designed to address your condition.
