The Path to Health
The team of health care practitioners at CHCC are skilled at helping you balance and heal your WHOLE body.structurally, chemically and emotionally.
Often seemingly unrelated health problems can form a pattern that tells us what has gone wrong in the body. For this reason, we take the time to talk to you and delve in depth into your medical history. You will receive a very thorough exam (probably much more thorough than you have ever received before). After gathering information through your history and examination, we will explain to you what we can do to help you achieve your health goals.
A Teamwork Approach
When you begin care at our office you are entering into a unique partnership. Your health today is the result of your habits, your thoughts, your actions, and all the circumstances of your life. One of our goals is to foster an attitude of responsibility for your own health. You will work actively as a part of the team at CHCC to re-gain health and vitality in your life.
Your Health Care Program
At CHCC we will develop an individual health care program customized to your body's specific health care needs. Your program may include structural, chemical and/or emotional care.
The Triad of Health
There are three basic factors to consider in maintaining or restoring natural health. They form an equilateral triangle in maintaining health. If one side of the triad becomes deficient, diminished health results and may lead to a significant health problem. Only by carefully observing all sides of the equilateral triangle can the total health of a person be evaluated and treated if necessary. Depending on a doctor's background, education, and general interest there is a tendency to concentrate examination and treatment on one side of the triad. Although this approach may improve symptoms, it often leaves important root causes of the problem undetected and uncorrected. Comprehensive Health and Chiropractic Centre is unique.we help our patients to balance all three aspects of their health.
Structural
Structure deals with much more than the obvious factors such as slipping and twisting an ankle or injuring your neck and back. Your nervous system controls the function of every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. The spinal cord (protected by the spinal bones) is the communication pathway between the brain and your entire body. Nerves, connected to the spinal cord, tell your body what to do and how to operate correctly. If a spinal bone (called a vertebrae) is out of place, pressure may be placed on a nerve. When a nerve has pressure on it, it will give you a problem. If it is a nerve of pain, you would get pain. If the nerve is in your neck and it controls blood to the brain, you will get headaches. If pressure is on a nerve that goes to your sinuses, your sinuses will become over-sensitive and allergies can develop. Removing pressure from the affected nerve restores function.
Chemical
Poor health can result from an involvement of the triangle's chemical side in many ways. One factor is poisoning. Not all poisoning results in an immediate dramatic health problem. You may be slowly taking poisons into your body from a variety of sources. These sources may include small amounts of gas leaking from your furnace, from pesticides on the food you eat, by drugs you take or by the chemicals with which you clean your home. These toxins slowly build up in the body over time, resulting in impaired health.
Nutritional deficiencies are included in the chemical side of the triangle. Malnutrition is an increasing problem in the United States because of the refining of foods, dietary indiscretion, and depletion of the soil in which foods are grown. Again, the problem is insidious in nature, often not resulting in a classic malnutrition disease but causing a general health loss. Sometimes the chemical imbalance can be from taking too much of a certain vitamin or by taking fractionated or synthetic vitamins that can actually rob the body of nutrients. Before taking any vitamin products, you should receive a thorough nutritional exam and nutritional products should be prescribed and used in keeping with your body's individual needs.
Emotional
There is no question that a person's mental attitude affects their health. Observe how a headache often goes away when you get involved in something you enjoy! However, there is more involved here than an individual's general "moods". Research has shown that many psychiatric conditions are the direct result of physiologic involvements. Mood swings or continual depression can be the result of low blood sugar or blood sugar handling stress. Hyperkinesis in children may be the result of disorganization of the nervous system. Postural changes affect emotions, as shown by the research of F.M. Alexander.
The sides of the triad interact with each other.
When there is constant structural strain, it may adversely influence an individual's emotions. Emotions affect the digestive system, which interferes with normal digestion of the food a person eats; because of this, the chemical side of the triangle may become involved and a nutritional deficiency may develop. Muscle weakness may result that increases the structural strain, again completing the vicious cycle.
