Corrective chiropractic care is primarily focused on the structure of the spine. Just as blood pressure, heart rate and body temperature all have an ideal or average range that is best for optimal health, so does the structure of the spine. The spine viewed from the front should appear straight. Looking at the spine from the side, three curves should be visible; a forward curve in the neck, a backward curve in the mid-back and a forward curve in the lower back. It is vital to understand the importance of these curvatures, as the loss of normal curves in the spine is indicative of a deviation from what is considered normal. Deviations in the spine’s curvature can cause symptoms like back pain, neck pain, sciatica, headaches and other painful conditions. This is why corrective chiropractors take an integrative approach: they do not develop a treatment plan based on symptoms alone, but focus on addressing the root cause of the concern for effective, long term relief.

Yes, a chiropractor can help correct poor posture. By focusing on determining the underlying cause of the condition, instead of only its symptoms, chiropractors can help with fixing bad posture. By addressing the root cause of the bad posture, chiropractic care can help patients to start sitting and standing up straight without the need of a constant reminder.

How often you will require a chiropractic adjustment depends on what symptoms are being treated, their severity, and if any underlying conditions are present. On average, the initial treatment of mild to moderate symptoms may include one adjustment per week, or a few adjustments every month. On the other hand, when treating severe conditions, several chiropractic treatments may be required every week. As the condition and symptoms improve, the frequency of treatments typically decreases. For maintenance chiropractic care, patients may receive an adjustment once every few months, or even just one or two treatments a year.

There are many benefits of corrective chiropractic care, including:

Restore function and correct form of the spine — Perhaps the most obvious benefit, corrective chiropractic care realigns the spine to improve form and function.

Prevent injuries from occurring in the future — Providing invaluable preventative care, corrective chiropractic can help minimize the risk of future injuries.

Enhance hand-eye coordination and general performance — Balance and proprioception are essential for the most fundamental functions, like eating and walking. Corrective chiropractic care helps fine-tune these functions, improving overall performance.

Non-pharmacological and non-surgical procedure — Corrective chiropractic care does not require prescriptions or surgery to provide relief, and can be just as effective, without the side effects and recovery periods.

Stimulates the body’s natural healing capacity — When the body is functioning properly, it can better help itself, healing and recovering more quickly.

Lowers inflammation — Reducing levels of inflammation can help joints heal better as well as relieve pain.

Significant reduction in neurological symptoms — Corrective chiropractic care is known to help neurological symptoms, such as tingling, numbness and weakness.
