Dr. Paul told us he thought he could help us and amazingly, he did. With a mix of acupuncture, chiropractic, vitamin supplements and his positive and warm attitude, he managed to do what we were unable to do on our own. He gave us tools to use, along with our serious determination, to break a nasty years-long habit. We suffered little and his support helped when we had 'moments'. Bravo! A Thousand Thank Yous," JPS, Downers Grove Holistic Chiropractic Philosophy Chiropractic perspectives on health and disease emphasize two fundamental concepts in relation to the 3 primary causes of all diseases: "(Negative) Thoughts, Toxins, and Trauma": 1) The structure and condition of the body influences how the body functions and its ability to heal itself; and 2) The mind-body relationship is instrumental in maintaining health and in the healing processes. Although Chiropractic shares much with other health professions, its emphasis and application of philosophy distinguishes it from allopathic medicine. Chiropractic philosophy gravitates toward a holistic ("total person") approach to healing which combines elements of body, mind and spirit. Widespread Use of Chiropractic Care The increasing interest in alternative forms of care has caught the attention of several health associations and government agencies. A 1993 study in the New England Journal of Medicine reported that "The estimated number of visits made in 1990 to providers of unconventional therapy was greater than the number of visits to all primary care medical nationwide," and chiropractic was among the most frequently used non-medical therapies. A followup report published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1998 found that the use of non-medical treatments had increased significantly since the 1990 survey, with "overall prevalence of use increased by 25%, total visits by an estimated 47%, and expenditures on services provided by practitioners of alternative therapies by an estimated 45%." Of the survey respondents, one in nine (11%) had used chiropractic care within the previous year. The Healing Abilities of Acupuncture Acupuncture is an ancient healing modality from China, that, over thousands of years, has been refined into a safe and effective therapeutic modality all over the world. By inserting very thin needles into specific points, your body's own healing abilities are facilitated and imbalances are corrected. Acupuncture stimulates your body's own vital energy, to reduce pain, promote digestion, and to calm the mind. As a result, you will not only feel relaxed and energized, but you will also notice significant improvement in your health. Together, chiropractic and acupuncture work together to promote natural, safe, and effective healing. Vertebral Subluxations--Misaligned Vertebrae Vertebral subluxations are displacements of the spinal bones (vertebrae), that can cause stress to your spinal joints, muscles, ligaments, disks, and even to your spinal cord and nervous system. Subluxations may be caused by any kind of STRESS--be it physical, mental or emotional. Vertebral Subluxations often result from poor sleeping habits, poor posture, strenuous exercise, injuries, auto accidents, sports, slips or falls, and in some cases, the birthing process itself. Chiropractic adjustments are very helpful in correcting subluxations and restoring optimal health. Chiropractic physicians are also trained to diagnose and treat a wide variety of problems in your joints, ligaments, muscles, and bones as well.
