Chiropractic

Chiropractic is a conservative, natural, holistic, and rational form of health care focused on optimizing health and improving the quality of life. Chiropractors specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions with an emphasis on spinal biomechanics, which is the application of mechanical principles on living organisms. The core of chiropractic care is to normalize and maintain healthy biomechanics of the human frame. Since the musculoskeletal system accounts for more than half of the body’s mass and is the greatest energy user, it is important that it works efficiently. The chiropractic adjustment is the cornerstone of chiropractic care and is used to bring balance and alignment to the body to successfully treat a variety of different health problems related to the spine and nervous system.

The adjustment is focused on correcting misalignments within the spine and/or restoring function to a spinal joint that isn’t moving correctly or is “fixated.” The nervous system is the master control system that coordinates all activity within the body. Misalignments or fixations of the spine consist of a mechanical and neurological component that cannot be physiologically separated.

Correction of spinal misalignments not only reduces pain and inflammation, it reduces muscle spasm and tension and normalizes spinal biomechanics. More importantly, it can remove nerve irritation and interference, which can improve overall health and wellness.

How is it done? Chiropractic adjustments usually involve a quick but gentle corrective force into the misaligned spinal vertebrae. This helps restore motion to spinal joints that aren't moving correctly. Adjustments are not—and should not—be painful. In fact, most individuals look forward to their chiropractic adjustments, which often secure immediate relief from discomfort

Arthritis

Arthritis is a pervasive disease that causes pain and inflammation in joints and can be widely spread throughout the body. Arhritis isn't just one disease, it is a complex disorder that comprises more that 100 distinct conditions and can affect people at any stage of life.

The commmon thread among arthritis symptom is persistant joint pain and inflammation of the joints. While arthritis pain and inflammation cannot be avoided as the body agess, with the aid of acupuncture and Oriental medicine the pain can be managed to a greater degree and improve functioning.

Acupunture treatment points for arthritis are located all over the body, not just directly over the affected area. During the treatment, tiny needles are place along the patient's legs, arms, shoulders and even toes. These needles are so tiny that multiple acupuncture needles can fit inside a human hair. The needles stay on the area for set amount of time , and then removed. Most people relax and even fall asleep during the treatment. The length, number and frequency of treatments will vary according to the intensity of the pain, and its severity and pervasiveness with the patient.

The relief of arthritis pain through acupuncture has been studied many times. Results indicate that the use of acupuncture and Oriental medicine can be an effective form of pain management. Many studies throughout the world have been given on a range of arthritis sufferers- from patients awaiting full-hip replacements, to knee surgery patients, as well as people suffering from the affects of rheumatoid and osteoarthritis. In most studies, the patients are split into groups- one group participating in acupuncture and Chinese medicine treatments in conjunction with a self-help course for managing their condition and conventional therapy; the other group receiving only the conventional therapy and self-help course information. The studies indicated that between 25-40 percent who received acupuncture in conjunction with the conventional and self therapy had a decrease in pain and a noted improvement in function of arthritic joints.

The latest study by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) is one of the largest and longest clinical trials to show such conclusive effects and patients who underwent acupuncture treatment reported a 44% average reduction in pain and a 40% improvement in mobility.

Combining acupuncture with standard drug therapy can relieve pain and improve movement in people with arthritis of the knee, according to a new study conducted by Dr Brian Berman, from the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore, and was funded by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) and the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS).

In the trial, Dr. Berman and his colleagues studied 570 patients with an average age of 65 who had osteoarthritis of the knee. Participants were randomly assigned to receive one of three treatments for 26 weeks, in addition to standard care such as anti-inflammatory medications and pain relievers:

Acupuncture - inserting thin needles into certain body points to stimulate improved health.

Sham acupuncture - patients feel some sensation from a needle but it isn't actually inserted.

A self-help course for managing pain.

Throughout the 26 week trial, participants continued to receive their normal standard medical care, including anti-inflammatory drugs and pain relievers.

By the eighth week, acupuncture patients showed a significant increase in function compared with both the sham treatment and self-help groups. By week 14, they were also experiencing a significant decrease in pain. By the end of the trial overall pain was reduced by about 40% and function improved by almost 40% in the volunteers receiving acupuncture.
