Holistic View of Chiropractors on Body’s Functional Chain

When we look at something, we look at it from Holistic point of view. We don’t look at the knees as isolated from the foot and the lower back. In our world, we view the ankle, the knees and the lower back are part of one functional chain and they all work together. And when one part of that is dysfunctional, the other parts are going to be put under more stress. When somebody says you have arthritis or you have spondylosis that’s diagnosis, we take it one step further we say okay, why is this joint wearing out faster than rest, is it fix? Is it stuck? Is there underlying muscular imbalances? We kind of like to look for a cause and a symptom to sort it out based on that.

Chiropractic in the Philippines
Chiropractic starts in 1895 in town called Daven Port IOWA. It’s not a new profession. Recently become popular because of its approach towards health and wellness (natural, Drugless and non-surgical approach to most types of pain syndromes.)

Chiropractic Doctor from the Philippines explains what Slipped Disk is 
DISK- two bones separated by cartilage called disk. Shock absorber of the spine, it helps with the movement and mobility, it helps absorb when we walk, when we run and on our own weight.
Composition of Disk is partly water, if it’s out of alignment it will worn out easily.

Headache Explained 
There are many different types of headaches. There’s a a particular type called as tension headache or cervical headache and basically you have problems with the muscles on the neck that can refer pain up towards the head or you have 21 different joints. You have 7 bones in the neck and they’re stock up one on the top on another and each one of those have a lot of innervation. There’s a lot of nerve supply, when those joints are out of place it can irritate that and cause also pain that refers towards the head. Sometimes, it can mimic a migraine perfectly which is pain behind the eye, difficult in focusing, sometimes nausea or difficult in digestion.

Chiropractors as Architects of the Body
Just like an architect we look at structures load and function. Dysfunction will arise if the structure is not properly aligned.

Different styles of Chiropractic 
Typically a chiropractor is expert at manipulation. He would come in and do an adjustment. The treatment times could be as little as 5-10 minutes depending on how thorough the chiropractor is but there are other styles of practice like I work in a group setting with physical therapist and massage therapist because our perspective or our view towards health and healing is that every discipline has something to offer. If you addressed skeletal and muscular system with adjustments, you work with the physical therapist and massage therapist, and rehab doctor works in the acupuncture. We’re not just a Chiropractic Center, we like to combine other approaches because we believe that everything has its benefits.

WHO on Chiropractic 
If I can quote, WHO in 2014 basically says that Chiropractic cost benefit for the treatment of neuro-musculoskeletal conditions and can treat anything that affects nervous, skeletal and muscular system. When the say cost effective they mean that from the time you get the condition to the time that is resolved the X amount of dollars you spent is less on Chiropractic than any other approaches, so they are not saying it’s only clinically effective, they also say it’s cost effective.
