This type of healthcare can do a lot for you. Chiropractic care focuses on the relationship between your body’s structure (particularly your spine) and how it performs. However, it also a holistic approach because of the benefits for your overall health.
When your body is “off,” you may feel pain or discomfort. Basic functions from how you walk to how you sit or sleep can be challenged. Consciously or not, you try to compensate for what’s wrong or out of alignment. Over time, this worsens and takes more effort. This “off” thing can have a negative impact on your movement and what you choose to do or avoid. Naturally, it may take its toll on your day mentally and emotionally.
Preserving a healthy body structure is important. It means more than realizing how your body performs. The neuromusculoskeletal system is essential for optimal health. Did you know?
How your spine and central nervous system communicate to the rest of your body CONTROLS ALL YOUR FUNCTIONS.
How Chiropractic Care Works
Everybody and every body are unique. Therefore, at Ironwood Chiropractic, this form of care is patient-centered and customized for you as an individual. Yet, across Pinal County and parts of Maricopa County, unique people from all backgrounds share common problems in their body structure.
That’s why we provide compassionate and comprehensive chiropractic care for a wide range of issues such as:
- Auto accident injuries
- Headaches and migraines
- Neck pain
- Back pain
- Arm, shoulder, and leg pain
- Joint pain, sprains, and strains
- Muscle pain, sprains and strains
Like traditional medicine, the chiropractic profession is also regulated by the government. In addition, its industry standards and practices also follow the basic scientific principles of diagnosis. This is done through empirical observations by doctors based on their training, experience, and expertise. (And yes, our doctors also take time to listen to you).
Chiropractors perform a physical examination to best understand and accurately diagnose your condition. It is possible you may expect them to order diagnostic imaging if you haven’t already had it done.
All of this is a thorough process for gathering available evidence. It offers the best approach to diagnose the specific issues affecting your body’s movement, function, and overall health.
Let’s Talk Chiropractic Treatment
This form of healthcare treatment focuses primarily on the spine and neuromusculoskeletal system. But, back to things in common. The reasons patients come to Ironwood Chiropractic include:
- Much-needed relief from chronic or recent pain
- Healing from injuries and reducing injury risk
- Better range of motion, movement and mobility
- Improved and healthier posture
- Added comfort when resting or sleeping
- Improved overall quality of life
Chiropractic treatment often provides a viable alternative to surgery and pain. At the very least, it gives you valuable time and an opportunity to learn from your body. How well and to what extent will it heal itself?
Many find this is a safe and common-sense approach, especially before undergoing a costly surgical procedure which may not have even been necessary.
The following statements are not criticism. Instead, they are basic observations:
Surgeons promote surgical solutions. That is what they know. It is what they are trained to do. Chiropractors promote chiropractic solutions. This is what they know and what they are trained to do.
Both options can work. However, the order of choosing chiropractic care or surgery is not something to be overlooked. Perhaps you may want to ask yourself or the loved one seeking treatment a simple question. “Which makes the most sense to try FIRST?”
Treating Auto Accident Injuries
We see people with auto accident injuries almost daily in our San Tan Valley practice. Such jarring collisions and your reflex reaction to them have a traumatic effect on the function of your body. This includes areas such as your spine, neck, back, arms, legs, joints, and muscles. Stress and newfound financial worries after the crash only intensify your condition.
The sudden burst of pain can be severe and constant. There is more to the story than your body and vehicle being knocked out of alignment. Your schedule , priorities, responsibilities, and transportation needs are thrown off. Such sudden changes can make it tough just to get through the day.
This explains why we suggest making Ironwood Chiropractic your first stop after an auto accident. Knowing the physical and emotional impact of auto accidents, we aim to move heaven and earth to get into our clinic that same day.
You’ll benefit from this proven approach in multiple ways. Dr. Chris Butler, DC, is extensively trained to work with you on fixing your injuries from the accident. Acting quickly can also prevent them from becoming chronic conditions.
And by treating what can be severe stiffness and pain, our approach works quickly to alleviate your pain, not simply hope to mask it with a pill every 4 hours. If that’s not enough, we handle the pain of billing and insurance issues.
In the end, it doesn’t matter if your symptoms were caused by a car accident, a sports injury, or what you think is aging. By choosing chiropractic care you face no dependence on prescription pain medications. You’ll have none of their side effects, or the high costs and fears which come from taking them.
All forms of treatment at Ironwood Chiropractic are natural, drug-free and non-invasive.
Treatment Team’s Work
Our treatment team is led by three highly skilled chiropractors who utilize a hands-on approach. Mainly, it is through manipulation and manual adjustments. The process involves using their hands and experience to apply precise, sudden force to a joint.
This guides the joint through its proper range of motion. Furthermore, it helps to restore alignment in your spine and central nervous system. In other words, the communication and controls of your body structure are running smoothly again.
Some new patients to our San Tan Valley clinic express concerns that chiropractic care will be painful. Instead, most seem to enjoy the pleasant surprise when they discover treatment brings the opposite effect. For instance, personal rewards such as pain relief and a return to feeling “normal.”
It is a joy to watch the stark differences between how patients walk into the clinic, and how they walk out.
Additional options with chiropractic treatment may include proven supportive practices such as stretch therapy, massage, and soft tissue therapies. Exercise and nutritional counseling can also help you get back to feeling more like yourself.
Chiropractic Care Benefits
The benefits or absence of them are visible at every moment. How you sit, stand, walk, work, think and feel are all in play. It involves everything from effective pain management to how your body performs its basic functions.
Holistically speaking, any injury or condition can impact how you feel physically, mentally, and emotionally. Therefore, your overall health is at stake. And beyond you, there are the effects this can have on relationships with your family and friends, co-workers and customers, etc.
And chiropractic care benefits go beyond improving life in the present moment. You can also use it to avoid illness and injury in the future. Wouldn’t it be great to not need medications? Might being and staying healthy with the help of a chiropractor be a better alternative? Or do you prefer the conventional medicine approach of “playing catch up” with drugs from your family doctor after you get sick or injured?
And don’t forget the benefits of finally being able to unload the burden of carrying around stress from worrying about injuries and illness.
This mindset is a driving force behind today’s growing popularity of chiropractic care. You don’t need to struggle with limitations or live with pain. Your body has an innate ability to heal itself naturally without the need for potentially harmful medications.
Now you have a better idea. There is no good reason to fear what you didn’t know before. Nor is there justification for being nervous about protecting and maintaining a healthy central nervous system.
The rigorous training, clinical experience, and skilled treatment of a licensed chiropractor can do wonders for both adults and children. Benefits extend above and beyond alleviating pain. They offer more than a way to achieve and maintain optimal health.
