Chiropractic: Our Unique Approach
At Mahaiwe Chiropractic and Health Services, we look beyond symptoms, taking an overall holistic perspective on the patient's lifestyle, diet, stress, exercise, and nutrition. Our goal is to help people feel better, and guide them towards taking control over the factors contributing to ill health. Our initial physical exam includes a detailed health history to discover all possible factors that may be influencing your current health. We maintain good ongoing working relationships with other local doctors and health care professionals to ensure the best evaluation and care for our patients, consequently the history and exam may lead to referrals to other health care providers. 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 Health 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 in depth analysis of your health history, life-style habits, and current problem; an orthopedic and neurological exam; and a muscle strength evaluation using Applied Kinesiology protocols. When necessary, x-rays and other diagnostic tests will be requested.
