Chiropractic
chiropractic adjustment can help you with your neck and lower back pain
Back pain morbidity
Chiropractic adjustment can be effective in treating low back pain, although much of the research done shows only a modest benefit — similar to the results of more-conventional treatments. Some studies suggest that spinal manipulation may also be effective for headaches and other spine-related conditions, such as neck pain.
Not everyone responds to chiropractic adjustments. A lot depends on your particular situation. If your symptoms don't begin to improve after several weeks of treatments, chiropractic adjustment might not be the best option for you.
Spine x-ray and aliements in chiropractic
chiropractors advocate using spinal X-rays only when endorsed by current imaging guidelines. X-rays are the diagnostic tools most widely used because they allow the chiropractor to see more deeply into your body and internal layout. Chiropractors will use x-rays as a way to get a better idea of a patient's condition or injury.
Acupuncture:
Acupuncture is endorsed by the World Health Organisation and the National Institutes of Health.
Acupuncture is a type of complementary medicine. It involves inserting very fine needles into specific acupoints on the body. The needles are then activated by hand or low-dose electrical current. This helps rebalance the flow of energy in the body.
Acupuncture has been practiced in China and other Asian countries for thousands of years. It is the oldest medical system in practice today. It was introduced in the United States in the 1970s.
Conditions treated
The World Health Organization recognizes acupuncture as a treatment for more than 43 common disorders. These include:
· Anxiety

Minimise body toxicity with over use of pain killers
We can achieve long periods of pain remission.
Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to help increase blood flow to the brain. They can help increase the flow of cerebral spinal fluid as well. This can significantly help people suffering from neurologicalconditions like multiple sclerosis and epilepsy.
While this subject is still being researched, the potential therapeutic applications provide exciting possibilities of treatment for these patients.
Treatment with chiropractic adjustment may significantely reduce your needs to pain-killers and can provide you with long periods of pain free.
