Chiropractic care is based on the scientific
fact that our nervous system controls or
influences the function of every cell in our
body. Interference to the nervous system
(caused by the vertebral subluxation
complex) will effect how the nervous system
relates to the cells, which it travels.
The purpose of the Chiropractic approach to
health care is to uncover the cause of your
health condition, not merely cover up your
symptoms. The absence of symptoms (pain)
does not equal good health! The clearest way
to illustrate this is by reviewing the
statistics on heart attacks. Research
reveals that in approximately 33% of all
heart attacks the first symptom is death!
Being Treated and Adjusted
If your doctor determines that your
condition would benefit from chiropractic
care, part of the treatment plan will most
likely include a form of spinal manipulation
called “adjustments”. The purpose of the
adjustment is to normalize the improper
spinal motion found within the vertebral
subluxation complex, therefore reducing
nerve interference.
Dr. McClelland will utilize various
complimentary therapies to assist in
treating the five parts of the vertebral
subluxation complex. Physiotherapy
modalities (common ones are ultra sound,
electric muscle stimulation, heat and ice),
massage therapy, rehabilitative exercises
and stretches, as well as nutritional
counseling are commonly used.
