What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a healthcare discipline that focuses on the musculoskeletal (MSK) system and the nervous system, with the goal of improving overall health and well-being. It is based on the principle that the body has an innate ability to heal itself. This healing process can be aided through the proper alignment and balance of the spine – and other joints in the body.

Chiropractic focuses on episodic or pain management, functional or structural correction, and preventative and maintenance care.

Many of life’s stresses – such as larger injuries or smaller everyday wear and tear such as poor posture, repetitive motions, or mental or diet stress – impact the nervous and MSK system, causing the body to be out of balance or alignment.

Mental and emotional stress especially have a tremendous impact on our bodies, which results in muscular tension and spinal misalignments. Our MCR Chiropractic chiropractors work to restore this balance or alignment by identifying the root cause and performing chiropractic adjustments, muscle therapy, exercise, and lifestyle education.

While chiropractic is often associated with treating MSK pain, its benefits extend beyond much more than pain relief! By addressing misalignments in the spine and joints, chiropractic can help to improve patients’ mobility, flexibility, and range of motion. This can lead to stronger athletic performance, more energy and vitality, and greater overall physical function.

Chiropractic can also have a positive impact on mental and emotional well-being. Chiropractic adjustments can help with relaxation and improve mood by reducing stress and tension in the body. Many patients report feeling more centered and balanced after chiropractic treatment. They may even experience better sleep and overall quality of life.

Overall, our chiropractors take a holistic approach to health and wellness. While pain relief is certainly a valuable part of chiropractic, it is just one piece of the puzzle. Chiropractic can help promote overall health and well-being and support the body’s natural healing processes by focusing on alignment, balance, and optimal body function.
