Welcome to Total Chiropractic
What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic combines science, philosophy and art. It is based on the fact that your body is a self-regulating, self-healing organism. Chiropractors refer to this self-healing ability as innate intelligence. The body is controlled and regulated by the brain, spinal cord and nerves, which communicate to every cell of the body e.g. all of the cells including the muscle, skin, blood and organ cells. The vertebrae (which provide bony protection for the spinal cord and nervous system), can become misaligned (or subluxated), causing dis-ease in the tissues and organs throughout the body. The dis-ease will often lead to symptoms. However, symptoms don’t usually present immediately. This is because the human body is a
miraculous organism and it will attempt to compensate for dis-ease. Therefore, it often takes time for a subluxation to begin to cause obvious symptoms. Chiropractors look at the human body as a complete system (rather than as separate parts or systems). This is one of the main differences between chiropractic and the allopathic medical model.
What is chiropractic suitable for?
Chiropractic treatment is suitable for everyone including newborn babies, the elderly, pregnant women and sports enthusiasts. When the majority of the nervous system interference is removed and your whole body is functioning well, your chiropractor will help you to maintain your health by educating you about: the best form of regular exercise for you; nutrition and healthy lifestyle choices. At Total Chiropractic we believe it is important for you to actively participate in your healing and health, so we recommend specific things for you to do during certain stages of your treatment. The adjustments a chiropractor performs in a consultation removes the interference to your nervous system, however, it is your responsibility to follow the advice of your practitioner to ensure that you obtain optimal results.
Do I Need a Referral to Visit a Chiropractor?
Absolutely not! Chiropractors are primary health practitioners. This means that you do not need a referral. If your chiropractor does not think chiropractic care is appropriate for you or if they don’t think that they can help you, they will refer you to an appropriate health care provider.
I’m not sick. Should I see a Chiropractor?
Yes. Symptoms are not a good indication of your state of health. They often surface after years of body malfunction. Just like we service our car even though it’s not broken, it is also beneficial to have regular
chiropractic adjustments to maintain optimum health. Patients often report how much better their overall health is when they see a chiropractor for regular ‘tune ups’. Patients commonly report less coughs and colds, less ear infections and less bronchiolitis, (just to name a few). Overall health is improved because chiropractic care reduces stress in the body, thereby allowing the immune system to function more efficiently. This beneficial effect applies to all body systems – not just the immune system.
