Chiropractic:
Our Unique Approach
At
Mahaiwe Chiropractic and Holistic Services, we look not
only at symptoms, but at the overall, holistic perspective
of the patient's lifestyle, diet, stress, exercise, and
nutrition. Our goal is to help people feel better, and
to also guide them to take more control of and responsibility
for what causes their imbalances and ill health. Our initial
physical exam includes a detailed health history to discover
all possible factors that may be influencing your current
health. Often the history and exam show a need for referrals
to other health care providers. We maintain a good ongoing
working relationship with other local doctors and health
care professionals to ensure the best evaluation and care
for our patients. We firmly believe that complementary,
alternative medical approaches must work closely with
traditional medicine to make sure the patients get the
most complete care appropriate for their conditions.
The Principles of Chiropractic
The body's self-healing and self-regulating capacities
are affected by and integrated through the nervous system.
- Optimal
nutrition is essential to maintaining good health.
- Physical
and mental exercise are key elements for a state of
wellness.
- Human
relationships are a valued component of optimal human
health.
- Natural
means should be used wherever possible to advance
a state of wellness.
Chiropractic
Adjustment
The purpose of the chiropractic adjustment is to restore
joint mobility and minimize nerve irritation. Manipulation
of the joints and muscle soft tissue techniques restore
mobility, alleviating pain and allowing tissues to heal.
Chiropractic Rehabilitation
Proper rehabilitation from injury or musculoskeletal problems,
along with ongoing exercises done at home, will increase
function and prevent reoccurrence of your condition. At
Mahaiwe Chiropractic and Holistic Services, we have a
rehabilitation facility that allows one on one instruction
so you become confident in performing the needed exercises
safely on your own.
Children's Program
Chiropractic care combined with specific supplements,
herbal, nutritional and homeopathic remedies can help
improve your child's health and ability to respond to
health problems. Our program can also help prevent reoccurrence
of some chronic conditions and more serious medical problems.
First Visit
The first chiropractic visit consists of an indepth analysis
of your health history, life-style habits, and current
problem; an orthopedic and neurological exam; and a muscle
strength evaluation using BioSET
and Applied Kinesiology
protocols. When necessary, x-rays and other diagnostic
tests will be requested.
