A complete detailed explanation of the history and theory of how Chiropractic and Chiropractor techniques has evolved. Dr Martin is a Chiropractor in St Charles, Illinois, and has a clinic there.
Chiropractic was founded in the 1890’s by Daniel David Palmer. Since this period Chiropractic has been established as a cornerstone in alternative medicine. Daniel David Palmer thinks that every health care profession is relevant and that each can be helpful in its own way. His philosophy is that the treatment of each patient should be based on each persons case, and whichever treatment works best for that patient, is the treatment that should be given regardless of the modality or profession. There are many different philosophies and beliefs of conventional and alternative medicine. I believe that the best health care is a multidisciplinary approach.
However, I have strong beliefs in the Chiropractic adjustment. It is a documented fact that the spinal cord is attached to the brain and makes its way through the vertebral column. From the brain the nerve fibers run through the spinal cord and out the vertebral column as peripheral nerves. The peripheral nerves are attached to all the muscles in the body. The brain will send out signals pertaining to movement and balance to the muscles, and the muscles send information about their orientation in space and the tension of the muscle. Exposing Trauma to the body and everyday movment causes the musculature to compensate. This causes some muscles to activate and become tight and other muscles to be inhibited and loosen. The bones in our body act as a place of attachment sites for muscles. When an injury happens, the muscles “guard” themselves against the injury by tightening. When tightening of the musculature occurs, this can place tension on the bones that are attached and cause pain and discomfort.
The basic belief system and philosophy of the adjustment for the patient, is that misalignments in the spinal column affects the ability to let the body function properly. Adjusting these segments back into their natural alignment will help the body function at its optimal level. It is theorized that this happens through feedback that the muscles will send back and forth to and from the brain. A Chiropractic adjustment will increase the tension that is felt by the muscle tendons in question. Manipulation will cause the receptors to send out a signal to the brain telling the brain that maximal tension has been achieved. The brain then sends a reflexive response to the tendon telling it to relax, there by resetting the muscle length and reducing the spasm in that particular muscle.
In my personal opinion there is no Chiropractic technique that is the best. Again, I believe the technique that should be administered should be based on the patients response to the treatment. The Chiropractic techniques that I can effectively use are the Deerfield technique, States thechnique, Thompson drop and Diversified. Although manipulation is a very important tool in the treatment of patients, I do not believe that it is the end-all be-all of treatments. There are many other treatment modalities that can help a patient to effectively recover from an injury. These treatment modalities include soft tissue massage, interferential therapy, ultrasound, light therapy, flexion distraction, exercises, stretches, vitamin supplementation and proper nutrition. The most effective and efficient treatment incorporates the appropriate combination of these modalities.
