Chiropractor Boerne TX
Welcome to Genesis Health Chiropractic located in Boerne TX. Chiropractic is one of the most amazing healthcare professions, but very few people understand what it's all about. This article is here to help you gain a basic understanding of how our Boerne TX chiropractors can help you and your family.
Genesis Health Chiropractic
A chiropractic adjustment, also known as spinal manipulation, is a common treatment method used by chiropractors to alleviate pain and improve the function of the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine. During an adjustment, the chiropractor uses their hands or specialized instruments to apply controlled force to specific joints in the spine or other areas of the body.
Three ways chiropractic adjustments can help:
1. Pain Relief: Chiropractic adjustments can provide relief from various types of pain, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, and joint pain. By realigning the spine and reducing pressure on nerves, adjustments can help alleviate pain and promote healing.
2. Improved Joint Mobility: Chiropractic adjustments can enhance joint mobility by restoring proper alignment and range of motion. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals with conditions such as arthritis or those experiencing stiffness and restricted movement.
3. Enhanced Overall Well-being: Chiropractic care is not only focused on treating specific symptoms but also on improving overall well-being. Regular adjustments can help improve posture, reduce stress and tension, boost the immune system, and promote better sleep quality.
It's important to note that chiropractic adjustments may not be suitable for everyone and should be performed by a qualified chiropractor after a thorough evaluation of your condition.
How Does Chiropractic Care Work?
The nervous system plays a crucial role in our bodies as it is responsible for transmitting signals between different parts of the body and the brain. It controls and coordinates our movements, senses, thoughts, and emotions. The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, and a network of nerves that extend throughout the body. Chiropractic care can help improve the function of the nervous system by focusing on the spine and its alignment. The spine houses and protects the spinal cord, which is a vital part of the nervous system. When the spine is misaligned, it can put pressure on the nerves, leading to interference in the communication between the brain and the body.
Chiropractors use various techniques, such as spinal adjustments, to correct misalignments and reduce nerve interference. By restoring proper alignment, chiropractic care helps to optimize nervous system function, allowing the body to heal and function at its best. Improved nervous system function can result in better overall health, reduced pain, enhanced mobility, and improved well-being.
What Kind of Training Does a Chiropractor Have?
Chiropractic doctors go through a minimum of four years of schooling at a chiropractic college, generally preceded by an undergraduate degree in the basic sciences or several years of experience in a prior relevant health care field.
Students of chiropractic care must spend a minimum of at least 4,200 hours with their teacher, and a minimum of 1,000 hours of fully supervised clinical training with an instructor as they learn the appropriate diagnosis and treatment techniques to help heal your body and restore it to its natural, fully functioning state.
