The goal of a chiropractic physician is to remove interference to and from the brain by restoring the spine to its proper position. This allows the brain to send clear signals to the rest of the body so it knows how to function. Chiropractic care can also be used to restore mobility and balance in other joints, such as the knees, feet, hips and shoulders. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">There\u2019s a big difference between seeing a chiropractor and coming to Natural Healthcare Center and seeing a chiropractor. Dr. Proodian, Dr. Hostnik, and Dr. Desiderio offer more than a chiropractic adjustment. They know how to connect the dots, for example, between chronic back pain, poor nutrition and stress by analyzing diagnostic imaging, blood tests and patient history. Rather than simply making the pain go away, the goal of our chiropractors is to treat the whole patient and make sure they have the information they need to make healthy lifestyle choices.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Why Is Chiropractic Care Important?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Most people associate chiropractic care with back pain. Chiropractic can indeed be very effective for treating back and neck pain, hip pain, sciatica, headaches and other types of pain. But the value goes far beyond pain relief. Chiropractic care can improve your posture and balance, which can reduce strain on your joints and organs. It can improve digestion and help you get a better night\u2019s sleep. By removing obstacles from the nervous system, chiropractic can also reduce the risk of injury and help prevent the onset of chronic illness.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What Is Chiropractic Rehabilitation?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chiropractic rehabilitation is the integration of multiple disciplines \u2013 chiropractic and physical therapy and\/or occupational therapy \u2013 to treat a condition and deliver the best possible outcome. The chiropractor performs an assessment, determines whether the patient is a candidate for chiropractic rehabilitation, and designs a personalized treatment program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, the chiropractor may use various techniques to manipulate the spine, such as a traditional chiropractic adjustment or Cox Technic Spinal Decompression, while a physical therapist and\/or occupational therapist would focus on the surrounding soft tissue. This could involve strengthening and stabilizing the soft tissue and determining which types of exercises and daily activities the patient should and should not perform.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To be clear, not all chiropractors offer this service. The chiropractors at Natural Healthcare Center are specifically trained and educated in chiropractic rehabilitation and have the knowledge to integrate chiropractic with multiple disciplines.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because we offer chiropractic, physical therapy, and occupational therapy at one location, patients don\u2019t have to schedule multiple appointments at different locations with providers who might not work together. Our team takes an integrative approach, collaborating closely to identify the root cause of the condition and ensure the personalized chiropractic rehabilitation treatment plan is developed and followed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>What Conditions Can Be Treated with Chiropractic Care?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Chiropractic can treat both musculoskeletal conditions and a wide range of diseases and disorders, including but not limited to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Headaches and migraines<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Scoliosis<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Neck pain and stiffness<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Arm numbness\/tingling<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Upper, middle and lower back pain<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Leg numbness\/tingling<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Muscle pain and myofasciitis<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Spinal disc herniations<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Degenerative disc disease<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Shoulder, elbow, hand and wrist pain<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Carpal or tarsal tunnel syndrome<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Hip, knee, ankle and foot pain<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Asthma<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Arthritis<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Chronic Fatigue Syndrome<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Ear infections<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Fertility issues<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Gastrointestinal issues<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Menstrual disorders<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Sciatica<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Tendonitis<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Vertigo<b> <\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Specialized Chiropractic Services Include:<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Cox Technic Flexion Distraction and Decompression<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Cox Technic Flexion Distraction and Decompression Therapy has been proven successful in treating degenerative disc disease or disc injuries of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine. This protocol is intended to maintain a low intradiscal pressure for a long enough period of time, typically three months, to allow adequate healing. Cox Technic also makes it possible to place the spinal joints into normal movements and restore spinal motion for patients with other painful conditions, such as facet syndrome, spondylolisthesis, sprain\/strain, scoliosis, transitional vertebra, sacroiliac restrictions and misalignment, and certain types of spinal stenosis. At Natural Healthcare Center, we have the latest Cox Technic tables for patient care. All chiropractors at Natural Healthcare Center are skilled in this technique for the thoracic and lumbar spine.
