What is chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a natural healing method which completely dispenses with medication and surgery in the holistic treatment of humans. The word chiropractic comes from the Greek and means “practice with the hands”. Correcting spinal dysfunction by manual methods has been known for thousands of years.
Chiropractic is a treatment method that restores the normal mobility of the joints – especially in the spine by finding misalignments on the spine and pelvis.
The nerve blocks, the so-called “subluxations”, which occur frequently, can weaken your whole body, cause exhaustion and pain. They affect your quality of life and can trigger illnesses and symptoms. Incorrect posture, work stress, accidents, falls, sitting too much, one-sided work, overload, poor nutrition, etc. can cause restrictions on movement and pain.
The chiropractor finds these blockages with the application of chiropractic and removes them gently and specifically. Chiropractic relieves irritation from the nervous system and helps your body help itself better from the inside to the outside, naturally. The mobility of the body is restored and maintained step by step with targeted, gentle, highly specific techniques which enable gentle corrections to the spine. This is what the chiropractor calls “adjustment”: it describes carefully directed and controlled pressure to free the spinal joints and the respective nerve tracts and enables the dislocation to be corrected. The adjustment acts like a reboot on the nervous system and thus improves communication between the brain and the body and ensures that our body can be better regulated.
This takes place naturally:
– Drug-free
– Radiation-free
– Pain-free
– Without surgery
– Without injections
What does a chiropractor do?
A chiropractor is an expert on your health. He recognizes misalignments in your spine and eliminates them with his hands. Gentle corrections can reboot your nervous system and slowly resolve harmful patterns.
Chiropractors diagnose and treat problems of the joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments, and the impact these problems can have on the functioning of the nervous system. Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that the nervous system controls every part of the body. Nerve impulses flow from the brain, through the spinal cord, and then into every organ and tissue. Pulses are sent back to the brain to confirm that the body is working properly.
When the nervous system stops working properly, it can lead to health problems. Neuro-musculoskeletal disorders result in several diseases that afflict more and more people around us nowadays, especially because of modern lifestyle.Vertebral blockages can be corrected with a chiropractic adjustment and thus restore optimal health. Αll dislocations, removal of shoulder joints, dislocated ankles, knees, arms, blocked vertebras are restored by the chiropractor who puts them back in place.
One of the most common diseases that a chiropractor can cope effectively, is the cervical syndrome. Headaches, vertigo, migraines, muscle spasm and reducing the range of motion of the neck, numbness and pains that radiate to the arms are the symptoms, which immediately disappear after an experienced chiropractor works with these issues.
Chiropractic treats both back pain and sciatica equally effectively. The slipped disc and pressure on the spinal nerve cause the pain and numbness in the feet and muscle atrophy, which can also be removed by a qualified chiropractor. Rather effective is chiropractic on regional problems in the joints of the hands and feet, sports injuries such as sprains, tendonitis and many others.
What is Reflexology?
Reflexology involves applying different amounts of pressure to the feet, hands and ears. Applying pressure to these parts offers a range of health benefits but the most beneficial is reflexology on the feet. It’s based on a theory that these body parts are connected to certain organs and body systems. All organs of a human body are connected with the feet. Therefore, there is a direct connection between feet and the organs.
With age, the body stops working normally and various problems begin to appear. But the pain is eliminated when a reflexologist exerts the pressure to the foot by his fingers or a wooden stick.
The human body is like a dark room and you have to switch on the light to see the room. So, the reflexologist with the pressure of the foot causes the body organ that suffers to function properly and he helps the patient eliminate the pain.
What are the potential benefits of reflexology?
Reflexology is linked to many potential benefits:
- It reduces stress and anxiety
- It reduces pain
- It lifts mood
- It improves general well-being
In addition, people have reported that reflexology helped them:
- It boosts their immune system
- It gets over colds and bacterial infections
- It clears up sinus issues
- It recovers from back problems
- It eases arthritis pain
- It treats nerve problems and numbness
Reflexology isn’t an effective treatment for any medical condition but it can have value as a complementary therapy to help reduce symptoms and improve someone’s quality of life. Since the massaged area is the feet, for some people that will provide even more relief of stress or discomfort.
