Conditions

Chiropractors, as portal of entry alternative health providers, treat many different conditions.  With four years of professional training and countless hours of post graduate training, chiropractors (unlike physical therapists) are both educated and licensed to diagnose.

Holistic chiropractors treat many health conditions with a combination of therapies including acupuncture, diet and nutrition (supplements), chiropractic adjustments, energy healing, PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field therapy) and more.

alternative medicine

Traditional medicine diagnoses disease states.  When the body deteriorates to an extreme state of dysfunction a disease state manifests, we name that disease according to what organs and tissues are involved.  Then there is a generally accepted regimen of drugs, surgery and other treatments to try and contain the disease state.  That is, medicine tries to prevent the disease state from progressing any further.

Holistic medicine tries to identify any decline in body function before it is recognizable by modern medicine as a distinct disease.  This is the realm of what has been termed functional medicine.  Functional medicine uses lab testing (most often of hair, blood, saliva and urine) to evaluate how well the body is functioning.  If the body’s biochemistry is out of balance, it can often be detected with functional medicine testing.  By identifying an imbalance before the body deteriorates all the way into a disease state, the imbalance can be corrected and full, optimal health can be restored.

Holistic medicine also approaches the treatment of already established disease differently than traditional medicine.  Instead of trying to suppress the symptoms of the disease, holistic medicine aims to support the body’s inherent healing ability.  Our body’s are very resilient when given the right combination of nutrients, healing energy, etc.  If one has a disease that requires prescriptive medication to survive, it is naturally necessary to continue taking it even when being treated with holistic therapies.

Some common conditions that are treated by natural medicine and holistic chiropractic are:

Migraine headaches, seasonal allergies, food allergies, rheumatoid arthritis, degenerative arthritis, depleted immunity, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, GERD, diabetes and more.
