| Chiropractic Q & A |
|
Sea One Family Chiropractic believes your overall health is far more important than quick pain relief. While Chiropractic treatments often provide immediate pain relief, our primary concern is not only to provide treatment, but to help you develop an overall health plan to ensure continuous freedom from your symptoms.
Most patients fail to realize that the spine is the most vulnerable part of their central nervous system. Without proper care, abnormalities such as nerve interference, symptomatic pain, and chronic pain can affect the way your body functions. This interference can ultimately affect how you adapt and respond to your environment. If you feel better while undergoing Chiropractic treatment, we are thrilled! But if we’ve improved your quality of life by teaching you ways to maintain a lifestyle free from painful symptoms, then we’ve achieved our ultimate goal. |
What is Chiropractic?
Many of our patients simply want to know what Chiropractic is. How it can be applied to my situation to relieve painful symptoms or improve my overall health?
While there’s no single explanation for why Chiropractic care works, it’s a combination of many things that add up to an overall improvement in your health. Chiropractic is a holistic or alternative health care system that firmly believes “the power that makes the body, heals the body”.

Chiropractic locates, alleviates, and ultimately removes severe forms of spinal and nerve stress. Chiropractic treatments restore normal joint and neurologic function enabling the body to stay healthy, strong, and capable of rejuvenating itself. |

Three Stages of Healing
- Acute Inflammatory Stage - the stage in which painful symptoms are at their worst
- Repair Stage - the stage in which your body begins to correct, regulate, and/or regenerate itself
- Remodeling Stage - the final stage in which your body restores itself and regains functional capability

Did you know that back pain is the leading cause of long term disability, and the second leading cause of restricted activity and use of prescription and non-prescription drugs? |

What does a Chiropractor Do? |
Chiropractic is a “hands on” approach to health care. A careful analysis of your body for improper spinal alignment reveals vital information to Chiropractors enabling them to perform specialized adjustments to relieve, reduce, and ultimately remove painful symptoms. Our physicians have spent years involved in specialized training enabling us to recognize, detect, and ultimately respond to unnatural spinal alignment through careful adjustments.

What can Chiropractic Care do for me?
Regular Chiropractic care can address even the most unique symptoms. Remember, the goals of Chiropractic care are not only to treat the symptoms of your discomfort, but to enhance your overall health through the reduction of spinal and nerve stress.
A healthy spine is essential, it can mean the difference between a life of health, strength and vitality, or a life of disease, weakness, and disability. Everyone can benefit from Chiropractic care. |
