Chiropractic and Chiropractors - All you need to know

Comprehensive reviews to help you improve your health.

Chiropractic Chiropractors is dedicated towards helping you improve your own health. Do you have unanswered questions about what to do when you know deep down that your problem is not improving? Or heaven forbid, getting worse?

By working with your chiropractor and providing you with information scripted in simple layman's language, CHIROPRACTIC and CHIROPRACTORS - all you need to know, is the place to be ...


Are you unsure, wondering, confused ...?

  • Sick and tired of taking so many pills?

  • What other options do you realistically have?

  • Should you be telling your doctor more directly that you really aren't progressing?

  • Will it ruin your relationship with your doctor if you tell him/her that you want to consult a chiropractor (or already have)?

  • What are the pros and cons of chiropractic? An osteopath, a physical therapist, a manual therapist, a physiotherapist?

  • Is a neurologist, a neurosurgeon, an orthopaedic surgeon the way to go?

  • Can a chiropractor help a joint outside of the spine? The jaw joint? An arthritic hip? Painful feet?




These are all great questions that need answers before you jump into treatment ... at Chiropractic Chiropractors you will find the answers!


"THE LIFE SO SHORT, THE CRAFT SO LONG TO LEARN."

- HIPPOCRATES, father of Medicine.


How can you possibly make the right choices?

Before Chiropractic-help.com understanding the pain you are having, and the possible solutions, may have been fraught with difficulties. Many health websites seem to be written with the professional in mind. Here, on the other hand, you will find that I have been crafting my skills since the day I received my first adjustment as a tiny baby. You will find step by step answers, built on long years of experience, written with you the layperson in mind. With so many options to confuse you, and very little in the way of understandable, comprehensive information, it's really easy to make the wrong choices, and end up worse off than when you started.

Bookworm? Love to read? You will enjoy chiropractor Bernard Preston's delightful short stories taken from his clinic and life. Says a fan,

"I am looking forward to your third book, Dr Preston. I really enjoyed reading Frog and Bats! They make you think, laugh and relax just like a good book should!"

- Emma Maria Nygren


KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

Better health is about making the right choices.

And, yes, some of them are hard. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a con-man. The decision to lose 30 kg or stop smoking is a nightmare. Once made, both can be done. Right here you will find help. We have helped hundreds of people do both. Thousands.

FROM THE COAL FACE

This page is a reflection of what goes on in a chiropractic chiropractors clinic. Updated every week, these are real cases that will help you grasp what a chiropractor does day by day. Real cases from the coal face.

AWE

At the end of another week, it is good to reflect on the sense of awe that chiropractic generates, both in the patient and the doctor. The awesome complexity and beauty of the human body, fearfully and wonderfully made, and at the sheer power of our care.


"Because philosophy arises from awe, a philosopher is bound in his way to be a lover of myths and poetic fables. Poets and philosophers are alike in being big with wonder."

- Thomas Aquinas, 1225 - 1274



A hundred years ago chiropractic was indeed built on myths and poetic fables. Today research confirms that chiropractic chiropractors is much, much more - it releases the power of the body to heal itself.


There are few things that turn me on like talking about Chiropractic Chiropractors. Here I am, making this year, in the words of Arthur C Clarke, my 60th orbit of the sun, and I am still passionate about going to work. So much so that I plan to go on working until the day I drop. Work? Well, w-o-r-k is a dirty four letter word, right? Wrong! WE SHOULD ALL LOVE TO GO TO WORK! I DO.


"I believe the second half of one's life is meant to be better than the first half. The first half is finding out how you do it. And the second half is enjoying doing it."

- Frances Lear



So, enough rambling from me. What is this profession Chiropractic Chiropractors that I love so much? Let the information roll... let the chiropractic chiropractors solutions to your problem condition begin...

CHIRO - PRACTIC

CHIROPRACTIC (from Greek CHIROS and PRACTIKOS meaning "done by hand") is a complementary health care profession. That means we work alongside mainline Medicine, complementing them. Not complimenting them! That's something quite different.

Chiropractic Chiropractors diagnose and treat mechanical disorders of the spine and musculoskeletal system with the intention of affecting the nervous system and improving general health; it is based on the premise that spinal joint dysfunction can and does interfere with the nervous system and result in many different conditions which diminish overall health.

DC - Doctor of Chiropractic. In most countries DC's are called Doctor.

The following chart shows how every organ in the body is supplied by nerves, and the majority of them, though not all, come via the spine.





Chiropractic was FOUNDED in 1895 by D. D. Palmer, and is now practised by approximately 100 000 men and women, in more than 100 countries. SPINAL MANIPULATION was however used by the ancients. Both the famed Galen and Hippocrates were really early DCs.

TREATMENT commonly includes spinal and pelvic adjustments, all the other joints in the body too, and the soft tissues associated with those joints. Rehabilitation after injury is now considered a normal part of Chiropractic Chiropractors care, to help prevent relapse.

Tip of the week:

  • Always use the hand-rail on the stairs.

  • Never carry a child on your neck and shoulders.

  • Moving house? Do yourself a favour and hire a removal company. Their staff are equipped and experienced to move your piano, the stove, the dining room table. Yes, you will pay, but it will be much cheaper than paying the chiropractor. Less painful too!

  • If your holiday is going to be one mad rush, take a few days at home first, having a holiday! Otherwise you are likely to get sick, or hurt your back, or ... a very fit patient (54) recently had a heart attack whilst lying on the beach on holiday. He died before they could get him to hospital.
