By Margaret Davis


When people experience pain day and night they can easily develop depression, a feeling of hopelessness and loss of life enjoyment. This is the lot of many thousands of people. They cannot cope from day to day because they are in constant pain. Many patients have resorted to home remedies, a wide variety of prescription drugs and even alternative medicine. The good news is that, after consulting a chiropractor in Fairfax many of them finally find a permanent solution.

A lot of people that chiropractic treatment is solely to do with back pain. Practitioners do indeed see a lot of patients that suffer from this type of pain but the back is not where they focus their treatment.Instead, the focus on the spine. They belief that pain is caused when the spine is not aligned properly. The solution is to make sure that the spine is properly aligned. Once this is done the pain will disappear.

Chiropractic practitioners firmly belief that when the spine is not properly aligned, very great pressure is placed upon the nerve system. This has a ripple effect, causing the immune system to weaken. The immune system can therefore not function properly and that is why the patient cannot find permanent relief. The alignment of the spine will relieve the pressure on the nerve system and the immune system will once again be able to function.

Patients with many different types of pain has greatly benefited from chiropractic treatment. Many complain of back pain, but those with constant headaches, neck pain, joint and tendon stiffness and severe pain caused by arthritis have also reported near miraculous results after chiropractic treatment. It is interesting to note that chiropractors are often favoured by professional athletes too.

There are many different treatment methods at the disposal of practitioners. It is important to note, however, that no treatment technique is ever invasive and drugs are never used prior to, during or after treatment. In many cases the spine can be aligned by applying hot or cold presses. In many instances the same results can be achieved with a professional massage. Only in severe cases it becomes necessary to physically manipulate each of the vertebrae back into place.

Chiropractic treatment is seen as alternative medicine. Yet a large number of practitioners qualified as medical doctors before they studied this discipline. There is a great deal of mutual respect between the medical and the chiropractic fraternities and patients are often referred by both doctors and chiropractors. Doctors commonly acknowledge that chiropractic treatment has proven to be effective when they could not help.

Patients are not only treated, but also taught how to make sure that their spines remain in proper alignment. This can be done by using a quality mattress, by regularly performing low impact exercises that will help increase overall flexibility and by avoiding a poor posture when sitting, standing or walking. Using furniture that are designed for ergonomic purposes also helps.

The popularity of chiropractic treatment has risen dramatically. This is no mystery because more than ninety percent of patients express complete satisfaction with the results. Patients do not have to fear complication form developing and they do not suffer from side effects because no drugs are ever used.
