KIROSSAGE CHIROPRACTIC CENTER

THE CHIROPRACTIC PHILOSOPHY

Chiropractic is based on the principle that the human organism has an innate power to maintain its own health. With a healthy lifestyle, including an optimally functioning and balanced spine, your body is better able to heal itself.

THE SCIENCE

Your nervous system controls the function of every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. While the brain is protected by the skull, the spinal cord is more vulnerable, covered by 24 moving vertebrae. Many everyday activities throughout our lives can cause these vertebrae to lose their normal motion or position. This sets off a chain reaction affecting the spinal bones, nerves, muscles, soft tissues, and results in degenerative changes throughout the body.

There are 3 main causes of SUBLUXATIONS & TRIGGER POINTS:

1) Physical Traumas
2) Emotional Stresses
3) Chemical Toxicities.

Physical causes could include the birth process, car accidents, falls, sports injuries, repetitive motions and improper lifting. Emotional causes of subluxations are grouped under stressful conditions such as loss of loved ones, loss of job, divorce, feeling overwhelmed, etc. Chemical causes could include alcohol, drugs, pollution, and poor diet. These traumas can cause significant tension in all of the muscles of the body, as well as spinal vertebral misalignments, or subluxations.

SUBLUXATIONS: The term subluxation describes the misalignment of spinal bones, resulting in nerve pressure or irritation. The slightest misalignment acts like a short circuit along a wire, causing improper communication of vital nerve impulses from the brain to the organs, cells, and tissues of the body.

TRIGGER POINTS: Trigger points are tiny knots that develop in a muscle when it is injured or overworked. These trigger points tighten the muscles and can pull joints out of alignment, irritating nerves and causing pain.

THE ART

After a thorough examination and review of your health
history, Dr. Radu Ioan will recommend a specific care program. This will include spinal adjustments, controlled pressure to restore spinal bones to a more normal position and motion, as well as Kirossage therapy which is aimed at deactivating trigger points, thus relieving the pain they cause. He will also perform various stretches which help restore the normal range of motion of the entire musculoskeletal system. These methods combined ensure the body returns to its proper alignment, removing any nerve interferences, therefore, optimizing the body's own healing ability.

Many people think that chiropractic is only for back pain. This misconception is easily understood, after all, chiropractors do work primarily on your back. However, chiropractic is about maintaining the health of your entire nervous system.

The effect of an overworked or stressed nervous system can manifest itself in the form of headaches, muscle aches, fatigue, numbness or a pins and needles sensation
down the limbs, neck and back pain, and a slew of other painful symptoms that can potentially develop into something more serious as time passes. Many times people are unaware of any stress because the body has already adapted to the abnormal state and it has stopped sending the signals that something is wrong.

Your body is always speaking to you. Listen, and take positive action before it turns into a more severe complication.

You don't have to live with pain and you don't have to suffer.
