CHIROPRACTiC SPINAL ADJUSTMENTS AT LIVINGWELL CHIROPRACTiC
A spinal adjustment is a safe, natural, noninvasive procedure a chiropractor uses to restore and improve health. Learning the art of adjusting is a skill that requires years of study and practice. Chiropractic doctors are the only health care professionals trained to deliver chiropractic adjustments.
BE CAREFUL: Spinal adjustments by any other individual or health care professional are far less effective and can even be dangerous.
X-RAYS
Based on the nature of your condition and other factors, x-ray studies of your spine or injured body part may be indicated. While doctors of chiropractic receive over 300 hours of X-ray studies in college and are fully trained to take radiographs to identify subtle abnormalities of the spine and other more severe pathologies, Dr. Ebert prefers to outsource her X-rays to the competent and thorough hands of practitioners at the Estero location of Radiology Regional.
CHIROPRACTIC MYTHS AND OTHER SAFETY CONCERNS
Over the years, several myths about chiropractic care have been circulated, primarily by economic competitors and those with differing philosophies. While the majority of myths have no basis, they do exist and cause some confusion to individuals unfamiliar with chiropractic care.
TRUTH: Chiropractic treatments are incredibly safe for people of all ages.
Doctors of chiropractic have dedicated their professional lives to delivering the safest and most effective healing methods for their patients. The chiropractic profession is a field of scientific evaluation, diagnostic excellence, and effective treatment methods and techniques.
Chiropractors are remarkably unique in healthcare as they are the only healthcare professionals trained to detect and treat a condition called subluxations, also known as the "Vertebral Subluxation Complex." Chiropractors have found vertebral subluxations to be responsible for and contribute to many spinal and extra-spinal disorders.
