What is Chiropractic?
Taking A Natural Systemic Approach To Healing
Chiropractic is an overall way of looking at the human body. It's based on the idea that the body is self-sustaining and self-healing. The body is in essence completely controlled by the brain through its connection via the spinal cord and the vast networks of nerves that make up the body. When this system is not functioning at its peak, the overall performance of the human body is lacking.
In the chiropractic world, drugs and medicine are not utilized as a form of treating a patient. While supplementation and nutrition are almost always a part of the bigger picture, pain pills and muscle relaxers are often viewed as band-aids to cover up symptoms rather than going to the source and treating the real problem.
While it's often perceived that the chiropractor is solely here to treat back and neck pain, this is actually a small part of what the profession really is capable of handling. Chiropractors not only treat soft and hard tissue problems such as sciatica and spinal pain, but are largely called on to deal with more significant issues. Some of the issues that have responded to Dr. Lyon's treatment include fibromyalgia, allergies, insomnia, constipation, headaches, spinal and extremity sprains & strains, high blood pressure, tempero-mandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome, and many more.
