We are not a conventional chiropractic or physical therapy office, they are nice folks and I have no doubt that they all do a good job with their patients. What we do is different than the conventional, we focus on a branch of chiropractic called Structural Correction. The following is a patient question that I thought would be beneficial to this post, enjoy...
Patient Question: Other doctors never took x-rays of my spine, why do you?
Me: We focus on Structural Correction which is a branch of Chiropractic that is different than Conventional Chiropractic.
Just like there is a normal blood pressure or normal eye sight, there is a normal range for your spine - not perfection, yet normal range none the less.
We need to know exactly where your spine has shifted abnormally and use Structural Corrective Radiographys (x-rays) with our Structural analysis to determine severity and determine our plan of action.
Most conventional chiropractors and physical therapists, do not use x-rays to determine structural shifts, they are focused on other goals - which is all well and good, we prefer to dig a little deeper.
And...
Would you buy a house without looking inside first? I like to know for sure what your spine looks like before I come up with a plan to correct your spine, to me this just makes sense.
The Normal Structure picture is what any knowledgeable health care provider, be it a neurosurgeon, structural chiropractor or orthopedists all can agree is normal structure.
Neck pain is a Secondary Condition that is usually a result of a Primary Condition of abnormal structure. The difference in our focus is to detect this abnormal structure and then correct the abnormal structure. When we correct the structure Secondary Conditions, such as Neck pain resolve.
Why?
Because, harsh pressures are exerted on your spine, discs, muscles, ligaments and nerves causing damage (degeneration) and pain. When we correct the structure these abnormal pressures are relieved allowing your body to continue healing in the appropriate ways. This is why we dig a little deeper, and to tell you no amount of massage, stretching, strengthening will ever correct an abnormal spine. Only a Structural Chiropractor, who focuses on structural correction can assist you.
Advanced Chiropractic is the only Structural Chiropractor in West Hartford and the Farmington Valley. We have two ways where you can gain additional information, the first is our Chiropractic:101 group presentation. This presentation is a non-formal chat about Traditional Chiropractic vs.Structural Chiropractic and other Myths and Facts you need to know to make an informed decision.
The other option is a private, Complimentary Consultation, which is a conversation and not a commitment. This is where you can tells us what you are experiencing and where we can show you exactly how we work with patients.
We go over...
- Time in the office,
- How long,
- What type of discomfort if any,
- Why we use specific corrections vs. aggressive spinal manipulations,
- Insurance, payment options, etc.
- We go over other common solutions and then answer any of your questions.
Side note:
When you come in for the Chiropractic:101 group presentation or private complimentary Structural Consult, we will present you with a gift certificate for $50 off our Structural Examination, our way of thanking you for taking your time to see our solution.
Have a GREAT Day!
