Treating Subluxation - A Chiropractic Cure for Disease


Chiropractors have an extensive knowledge of the musculoskeletal system and are experts in the field of spinal healthcare. Considered to be an alternative medicine, chiropractic care is generally used in conjunction with traditional health care.

Chiropractic focuses on prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of the musculoskeletal system's disorders. This alternative medical practice is based on the theory that all living tissue in our body contains an innate or inborn intelligence. This is to say that our body parts have the ability to organize, maintain and heal themselves. This innate intelligence acts through the nervous system in order to heal the body. Chiropractic aims to cure diseases of the body by aligning the spine through adjustment. By performing adjustments, a chiropractor can remove interferences in the nervous system, allowing it to heal the body uninhibited.

Santa Monica is one of the well-known places in California to find some of the most skilled chiropractors in the country. Pretty much all Santa Monica chiropractors will perform manual adjustments of the spine, joints, muscles and tissues, to cure ailments, the best ones will also provide lifestyle counseling, prescribe stretches and exercise, as well as dietary advice and supplements.

When looking for a Santa Monica Chiropractor, keep in mind that there are two types of chiropractors; straight chiropractors and mixer chiropractors.

Straight chiropractors firmly adhere to the ancient metaphysical philosophies that hold that subluxation creates interference in the functioning of the nervous system's innate intelligence, which can cause a litany of diseases. These straight chiropractors focus entirely on vertebral subluxation and do not include any other forms of therapy in the treatments.

Mixer chiropractors are much looser in their interpretation and practice of the ancient philosophies. They employ all different types of medical, osteopathic and chiropractic techniques to provide cures for a patient's ailments. Mixed chiropractors treat subluxation as a potential cause of disease, but include mainstream treatments like homeopathy, massage, acupuncture, herbal treatments and biofeedback in ther treatment regimes. With a wider range of tools at their disposal, mixed chiropractors are able to provide a more holistic care program.

A good Santa Monica chiropractor offers you a non-surgical alternative therapy for healing your body from aches, pains and other diseases through spinal column adjustment. Your chiropractor will be able to diagnose and treat temporomandibular joint dysfunction, sports injuries, chronic headaches, as well as back and neck pains.
