WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC CARE ?Chiropractic health focuses on disorders of the

musculoskeletal system and the nervous system. Chiropractic care is used most often to treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited to back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches.

The most common therapeutic procedure performed by doctors of chiropractic is known as “spinal manipulation,” also called “chiropractic adjustment.” The purpose of manipulation is to restore joint mobility by manually applying a controlled force into joints that have become hypomobile – or restricted in their movement – as a result of a tissue injury.

FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE

Dr. Davis is also a board certified internist.

Through functional medicine, Dr. Davis can take a unique look at a person’s structural standpoint as well as a systems evaluation.

A chiropractic internist is able to evaluate and treat the patient with not only manipulation, but with orthomolecular nutrition and lifestyle changes as well. This care offers beneficial results to each individual without the use of drugs or surgery.

NERVOUS SYSTEM3 Parts

1) Brain - Cortex (top, largest part of brain) - Cerebellum (back, lower part of brain) - Brain Stem (underneath upper cervical)

2) Spinal Cord, which is located inside spine and connects brain to nerves.

3) Spinal Nerves: There are 31 pairs of spinal nerves and everything has a nerve supply

Musculoskeletal System

FACTS ABOUT THE SPINEThe spine has 24 movable bones called vertebra (it is the frame that protects the spinal cord) which are separated by movable cushioned disc.

Misalignment in the spine causes nerve irritation.

Most spinal problems are worse than they should be due to neglect.

Phases of care for the spine include:- Acute onset …………………….. …………3-5 times a week- Correct, stabilize and strengthen ….. 1-3 times a week- Maintenance & prevention……………1 time each month

Everyone needs maintenance, so everyone needs a Chiropractor!
