| CHIROPRACTIC
THE DIFFERENT APPROACH
“What can this doctor do for me?” is the question uppermost in your mind. The reception room of the Doctor of Chiropractic seems to be quite similar to the offices of other doctors. There is a pleasent receptionist, an attractive room with professional type furniture; but there is a different approach to illness in the chiropractor's office.
The Doctor of Chiropractic will use instruments for analysis that are familiar to you, and some different from those you have encountered before. You will be asked questions about falls and injuries that you may not have considered important. You will notice that the chiropractor is interested in every detail of your history, and will always take time to give complete attention to your problem.
The Doctor of Chiropractor knows that even though two patients may have the smae disorder, they will not necessarily progress in the same manner. Each patient is an individual who must be studied and analyzed as such.
GETTING TO THE CAUSE OF YOUR PROBLEM
Regardless of where your pain may be, you will usually find that the chiropractor can show you how it starts back in the spine, with misaligned vertebrae producing pressure on nerves that lead to where the pain is. Yes, the answer may be found in your spine, where a surprising number of health problems originate. You may have a misalignment of one or more spinal bones, called vertebrae. Those misalignments can then cause irritation or pressure on the nerves as they leave the spinal cord through openings between the vertebrae. This is basic neurology.
There is a distinct relationship between your spine and the various parts of your body. Every cell of your body receives nerve impulses either directly or indirectly from the spine. It is estimated that each one of these large nerve cables leaving your spine carries some 300,000 tiny nerves. Is it a wonder that you are a “bundle of nerves” when there is a misalignment in the spine?
After taking X-rays and completing various physical examinations and instrument checks, your chiropractor will be able to determine if spinal subluxation is the cause of your health problem. The examination results will give us valuable information to aid in helping you get well. The X-rays will provide a blueprint for guidance in correcting the cause of your suffering.
Some healing methods strive to cover up, relieve, or deaden symptoms. Chiropractic finds and removes the cause. Once this has been done, the recuperative power of your body will build health.
WILL IT HURT?
Perhaps you are wondering,”When the doctor finds a misalignment in my spine and removes it, will it hurt?” There is very little, if any, discomfort from a chiropractic adjustment, and it is relaxing to most.
The doctor uses very little force in making an adjustment. It is not unusual to see a one hundred pound doctor give a chiropractic adjustment to a two hundred pound patient with little effort.
CAN CHIROPRACTIC HELP?
Dr Fulk does not attempt to determine this adjustment until at least a preliminary examination or, more often, a complete chiropractic examination has been made. After that you will be informed whether it is felt you can be helped by chiropractic. Dr. Fulk has built a reputation on helping others without dangerous drugs or useless surgery. And we will definately not accept your case unless it is felt there is good chance of helping you. If there is only a fifty-fifty chance of helping you, you will be told, and the choice is left up to you.
WHAT ABOUT THE COST?
No doubt you are also wondering what it is going to cost. This will vary depending on the severity of your condition and the type of care that is needed. Please feel free to make inquiries about fees before beginning treatment.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?
How long will it take to recover from your ailment? The answer to this also varies with the circumstances of each individual case. The time it takes to recover will depend on the particular circumstances in your case. You can rest assured, however, that Dr. Fulk will get you well as quickly as possible.
Now that you have chosen chiropractic and have placed your health in the hands of a Valley Chiropractic Center Inc., relax, cooperate, and give chiropractic a chance to help restore you to health.
