Q. Will I be permanently well or will this condition ever recur?
A. There are many things that make people sick, for example:
• Trauma - falls, jolts, strains, etc.
• Chemistry - poisons, things you may be allergic to,
junk food, absence of proper diet, etc.
• Auto-Suggestion - worry, fear, hate, jealousies, etc.
Since we are all prone to many of the above plus many more, there is no assurance that we will not get sick as we go through life. If you are in good condition, your chances are getting better to go through life with very little trouble. Therefore, it would be wise to visit Wheelersburg Chiropractic Clinic periodically in order to maintain a better body alignment.
Q. What is the doctor doing when I am first examined on the table?
A. Dr. Staker is using a testing procedure developed by the Chiropractic Profession which utilizes a system of body mechanics, neurological reflexes, and orthopedic leg tests to check your overall spinal balance and help pinpoint the misalignments in your spinal column. These vertebrae displacements cause irritation to the spinal nerve roots which, in turn, may cause pain and malfunction in your body.
Q. Are adjustments painful?
A. No. A chiropractic adjustment consists of a scientifically directed, light, quick thrust that is most often painless and is designed to put the vertebrae from an abnormal position to a normal position; to bring about spinal balance. Most people find chiropractic adjustments to be very pleasant.
Q. How long will it take for me to get well?
A. Chiropractic science teaches that we should endeavor to correct the basic cause of the problem rather than try to remove a symptom or treat an effect which might make you think you are well but may be only a cover up. Length of time required depends on many factors, such as age, living habits, weight, duration, your cooperation, etc. However, Dr. Staker will be glad to design a program which will help you in the shortest term.
Q. Can Chiropractic help me?
A. A majority of people have the misconception that Chiropractic is only good for backaches, disc problems, stiff necks, sciatica, whiplash, and other spinal related conditions. It is true that anyone who is suffering from these or similar type problems should try Chiropractic first. However, it is not generally known that Chiropractic is able to help other problems of bodily dysfunctions as well. Since various organs, glands and body tissues require nerve innervation for their proper function, it is easy to see that various functional disorders of the body may respond favorable to a chiropractic adjustment.
