Curative treatments and methods

Chiropraxis is based on belief that human organism has an inborn capacity of self-healing, however under the condition that nerve impulses can flow freely between the brain and other parts of the body. A manual treatment on the spine that aims at ensuring proper functioning of the nervous system is the basic method of chiropraxis. Chiropractors use a manual technique of "repositioning" displaced discs and joints as well as their unblocking.
The technique consists in a sudden pushing movement within a small area which lasts about 1/10 sec. The treatment involves a moderate, perfectly controlled strength, in order to stretch the joint beyond its usual scope of movement. The whole procedure is painless and is usually accompanied by the audible cracking noise, which is the result of releasing some small gas bubbles which formed in synovial fluid in result of a limited range of joint mobility. Proper reposition results in instant relief and improvement of the joint's functioning, extended range of mobility, relief from pain and relaxation felt in a certain area, as well as unblocking of the nerve roots and removal of edema.

During the first visit the chiropractor:
- gets acquainted with the history of the disease and current health problems
- carries out standard examination (a patient should have an X-ray of spine in a standing position performed prior to the appointment)
- observes the way in which the patient walks, bends and sits down
- with the pulps of his fingers gently examines the spine to find for any muscle dysfunctions or dislocations and ligaments problems.

Chiropractic treatment usually requires a series of visits. In non-complicated cases (in particular concerning lumbar and sacral segments of the spine) serious improvement can be observed just after the first series of treatments. Chiropraxis also supports the treatment of ailments of the respiratory system, stomach and intestine related problems, sinusitis, asthma bronchitis, heart diseases, hypertension and common cold. Chiropraxis achieves best results in treating neurological, muscle and skeletal related dysfunctions, which actually account for 90% of the cases.
