Your Questions Answered
Q: What Exactly Do Chiropractors Do?
A:
Drs. Ryan & Charmin Gans will examine and analyze your spine for
subluxations and reduce or eliminate them with safe,
gentle spinal adjustments.
Q:
What exactly is a subluxation?
A:
A subluxation is a misalignment in the spinal column that can greatly decrease
or choke off the life flow from your brain to
the rest of your body. It can strike at any age, at any time. And
can cause a number of problems like: pain, accelerated joint aging, arthritis,
decreased height, trouble sleeping, prolonged labor, carpal tunnel, decreased
energy, decreased immunity, major damage to your organs, sickness, disease
and early death.
Subluxations
are also known as the silent killer because many times they are painless and
quietly worsen over time. Unfortunately, they have severely shortened the
lives of millions.
Q:
What can cause subluxations to
occur?
A: Unfortunately, our lives are filled
with events that can lead to serious subluxations. Physical, chemical and
emotional stresses are the culprit. Physical stresses are the most obvious.
Things like birth trauma, falls, accidents, sleeping wrong, even something as
small as tripping can cause subluxations to occur. Chemical stresses include
the wrong diet, medication, pollution, etc. And emotional stress happens to
nearly everyone. Just imagine how many of these stresses you put on your body
daily. These cause subluxations.
Q: What exactly does an
adjustment do?
A: All of the power of the body,
including it healing ability, is located inside of the nervous system. Without
it we would not be alive. The spine surrounds and protects the spinal cord and
nerves that come out and bring power to the body. It is vital the spine is in
its normal healthy position. When any segment (vertebrae) of the spine gets out
of position or subluxates, the result is damage and disease to organs, muscles
and other tissue. A chiropractic adjustment specifically and gently targets
these subluxations to restore the healing life flow to the body thus allowing
for a longer, healthier more productive life! Just like God intended.
Q:
How often do I need to be
adjusted?
A:
The frequency of your chiropractic adjustments depends on three main things:
1. The
length of time your subluxations have been in your spine and the amount of scar
tissue, disease and damage that has already occurred
2. How
quickly you heal
3. The
daily stresses that are put on your spine and body
Q:
Why would a newborn need to be
adjusted?
A:
Dr. Towbin, M.D., proved that 80% of newborns receive subluxations during the
birth process. Even in the most normal births, damage can occur to the
newborn’s spine that will result in a lifetime of sickness, suffering and
disease. Often subluxations are silent and do not cause problems or
symptoms until it is too late. Luckily, we have a way to detect their presence and
remove them quickly and gently.
Q:
How long do I need to go to
the chiropractor?
A: How long you go to the chiropractor
is entirely up to you. Chiropractic helps keep your nervous system (which
controls and gives life to everything in your body: organs, muscles, tissue,
etc.) functioning at its best and clears all interference to this vital life
flow. Millions of people go to chiropractors with their families and
ensuring the health of generations for generations.
Q:
Can I adjust myself?
A: First of all if you are “adjusting”
yourself or anyone else (and you are not a licensed chiropractor) STOP RIGHT NOW! You
can be causing serious or life-threatening damage to yourself and others!
Inside of the spine and neck is the delicate and vital nervous system which can
be seriously harmed if you are "adjusted" by anyone other than a chiropractor!
Chiropractors are the only professionals licensed to perform adjustments.
A chiropractic
adjustment is a very delicate and specific movement that takes many years of
training to learn. You should never try to duplicate an adjustment.
Q:
I’m pregnant can I still be
adjusted?
A:
Yes! As a matter of fact pregnancy is an excellent opportunity to continue or
start chiropractic care. It is safe, comfortable and beneficial. Studies have
proven pregnant women who receive chiropractic during pregnancy have: much more
comfortable and healthy pregnancies, less back pain, morning sickness, carpal
tunnel, etc. Chiropractic decreases the likelihood of having a breech baby,
c-section or an invasive technique used during labor. These women look forward
to shorter labor and delivery times and faster recovery times. We actually
specialize in pregnant women, children and families.
Q:
If my pain is gone, do I
need still need chiropractic?
A: We are pleased that you have joined millions of others and found relief with chiropractic
care. However, since harmful subluxations can occur daily, we will continue to
remove them for as long as you allow us to.
Note: Only ~6%
of your body has pain fibers so the other ~94% you would not be able to feel if
something is wrong! This is why many people feel good until it is too late
or how people suddenly develop a disease or problem.
We all know
someone who was feeling great one day and had a heart attack the next.
This is because we cannot feel how healthy we are. The latest research
teaches us that the old way of relying on something to hurt is outdated
and harmful. The only true way to know if you are healthy is to ensure
your nervous system, which controls your entire body's healing and health, is
working as close to 100% as possible, and that subluxations are not interfering
with this process.
Fortunately, a
chiropractic examination does just this and chiropractic adjustments remove
these often silent subluxations! Chiropractic care is intended to keep you
healthy for a lifetime.
