The rationale for Chiropractic treatment

It's been long established that loss of movement in a joint decreases the movement of the synovial fluid that feeds the hyaline cartilage in the joint. It has profound effects:

The deficiency of nutrients and oxygen causes Immobilisation Arthritis, a condition quite distinct from other forms of arthritis, though the end result is the same. It leads on to Osteo arthritis, stiff and painful joints. IMMOBILISATION ARTHRITIS ...

ARTHRITIS ...
The build up of noxious wastes, normally flushed away by the synovial fluid, forms a sea of inflammatory chemicals that bathes the joint and, in the case of spinal joints, the nerves emerging from the spine. The result? Altered nervous system activity; in its simplest form causing tingling in arms and hands, and feet and legs. More profound is the effect on the organs of the body. For example, people with conditions in the midback, where the nerves emerge to the stomach, have a higher incidence of ulcers and heartburn. TINGLING IN ARMS AND HANDS ...

TINGLING IN FEET AND LEGS ...
Altered biomechanics. Hypomobility (a fixation, or subluxation) in a joint in the foot for example completely alters the way in which a person walks. The knock-on effect is increased wear and tear in the knees, hips, back and all the way up the kinetic chain. A subtly altered gait can be the cause of your headaches. These altered motor patterns, be it from the fixation in the subtalar joint in your ankle, the sacroiliac joint or any other joint play havoc with the whole body.
Invariably, hip athritis is associated with fixations in the sacroiliac joints. It is of course a chicken and egg situation, but in Chiropractic we believe that correct mobilisation of a fixated hip joint, can save the spine and sacro-iliac joints, and vice versa, can save the hip joint from degenerative changes secondary to subluxations of joints elsewhere.
Look at how the tilted sacrum in this lumbar stenosis casefile has led inexorably to severe facet arthritis and spinal stenosis. Altered biomechanics has severe knock-on effects distant to the subluxated and or/injured joint, short leg and many other conditions causing the altered biomechanics.

WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC ?

CHIROPRACTOR HILTON

The term CHIROPRACTIC THERAPY has evolved from two Greek words: Chiro (hand) and Practis (the practice of). Used by the ancients, doctors like Hippocraties and Galen actively used and promoted manipulation of the spine.

Modern Chiropractic was founded by a Canadian, Daniel D Palmer, in 1895. Today, after Medicine and Dentistry, Chiropractic is the third most powerful force in healing in the West. What is CHIROPRACTIC THERAPY ?

What do Chiropractors do?

Chiropractors use a variety of manual methods to "adjust" (or manipulate) the joints primarily of the spine and pelvis, but in fact of all joints in the body, including the jaw joints, the rib joints, the Sacroiliac joints and the joints in the feet that may be causing your foot or ankle joint pain. ANKLE JOINT PAIN ...

HEAD NECK PAIN

Nearly 50% of the average chiropractor's day is taken up with people suffering from headaches and/ or neck pain, the latter often radiating to the arm(s). Behind most Carpal Tunnel Syndromes for example lies an irritated nerve in the neck which is the underlying cause of the tingling in the lower arm, usually the thumb and two or three fingers... another spot where the Median nerve may be pinched in the forearm as it passes between the two heads of the Pronator Teres muscle.

MIGRAINE

CHIROPRACTOR HILTON

Migraine headaches are complex, and caused by many different factors, but the cause is often in the jaw joint. Do you have a clicking, or popping jaw, pain on the side of your face and head, and nauseous-making headaches? The TMJ anatomy (Temporo Mandibular Joint) needs to be carefully assessed.
