Frequently Asked Chiropractic Questions in Warren OH

Chiropractic is the leading form of drug free health care.  Chiropractic science is based in anatomy, neurology, physiology, and biomechanics. Your spine protects your spinal cord, which is a key part of your nerve system. This system controls sensation, organ function, and communication between your brain and body. When spinal joints become misaligned or subluxated, this can lead to pain, stiffness, and other functional issues. Chiropractors focus on restoring alignment and motion to the spine, and proper function to the nerve system, and optimizing the body's ability to heal itself.

There's nothing mysterious about chiropractic. It's a natural method of health care that focuses on correcting the causes of physical problems, rather than just treating the symptoms. Chiropractic is based on a simple but powerful premise. With a normally functioning spine and healthy nerve system, your body is better able to heal itself. That's because your spine is the lifeline of your nervous system. It controls feeling, movement, and all functions through your body.

Chiropractic is based on science, but it is also an art. The art is in personalization. At Back 2 Health Chiropractic, we assess posture, muscle tone, movement, and overall health to tailor care to each individual. Whether you are dealing with acute pain, chronic conditions, or you are looking to improve function and performance, or prevent future issues, we tailor our care to your needs. 

A chiropractic adjustment is the art of using a specific force in a precise direction, applied to a joint that is subluxated, "locked up," or not moving properly. The purpose of this safe and natural procedure is to eliminate interference to the nervous system, improving spinal function and overall health. 

Not always. A subluxation is like a dental cavity--you may have it for a long time before symptoms appear. That's why periodic spinal checkups are so important. Although it may be possible to know you have a subluxation, it is rarely possible to be sure you don't. Regular spinal checkups are always a good idea, small problems can be corrected before they become chronic problems.  And regular checkups promote good health from the inside out.

Unlike drugs, that are associated with many harmful side effects-the side effects of chiropractic care are positive.  Patients that receive care for neck and back pain often notice improvements in mobility, balance, sleep and energy, digestion, anxiety, posture, improved athletic performance and recovery, and even improved moods. 

Many people are nervous about getting adjusted simply because they have never experienced an adjustment before.  Once they feel an adjustment, they are pleasantly surprised that it doesn’t hurt but actually feels good and relieves stress.

Experience matters. Attention to detail matters. True health is about more than just pain relief.
