Texarkana Chiropractic Care for Back Pain and Much More!

Evidence Based Practice.What You Probably Don’t Know About Chiropractic.

Healthcare should be about a healthcare professional helping you to become healthier, well that’s really what it should mean.

It doesn’t matter what type of provider you see whether an MD, DO (osteopath), DC (chiropractor), or some other type.

The healthcare professional is there to help you.

Chiropractic has a very significant amount of research that demonstrates it can help people with a wide variety of issues.

The video uses an example of people with lower back pain and how chiropractic can help.

Chiropractic care doesn’t move a bone off a nerve to reduce pain and improve neurologic function.

When chiropractic was founded well over a century ago this was the proposed theory.

We know much more about virtually everything today and chiropractic is no different.

Unfortunately this myth has persisted in the general public and outside the chiropractic profession.

The effects of a chiropractic adjustment on low back pain generally has more to do with improving your body’s ability to control movement in the lower back through changes in the brain.

This seems like a crazy idea to some people.

Researchers have found that this is essentially what happens though using sophisticated machinery to measure motor control and brain changes.

Broken down simply, the brain relies on information from the body to tell it where it is in space.

It then uses that information to control and stabilize the body to allow us to move and to basically prevent us from hurting ourselves when we have to bend, lift, twist, or move in any way.

Chiropractic treatment can help the brain better ‘see‘ what is happening in the body which allows it to better control our movements AND everything else.

We’ve discussed a lot of this research on this blog because we think it’s important to talk about and help people understand so that you can make an informed decision about your healthcare.

In the case of Back Pain, chiropractic has been shown in many studies to be as effective and often much more effective than other treatments including medications and surgery.

Chiropractic care of back pain has also been shown to be much cheaper and much safer than many other medical options… even safer than over the counter pain relievers.

A significant amount of research has also shown chiropractic treatment is very effective and safe in the treatment of neck pain and headaches.

Interestingly, chiropractic care isn’t just meant to help you feel better even though chiropractors are generally very good at doing so.

Chiropractic Care is meant to help you be better, improving performance, and not just improving pain.

There is much more to chiropractic than treating pain.

There is also much more to chiropractic than the chiropractic adjustment for which the profession is primarily known.

Unfortunately these ideas aren’t widely known even now other than by the millions of people that see a chiropractor.

This is why our patients in Texarkana have often seen several other medical doctors, specialists, and often PTs before seeing Dr. Hagebusch.

In the vast majority of cases, the patients that have often suffered for a long time still are able to get much better.

Our simple advice is that if you have been thinking about seeing a Texarkana Chiropractor, borrowing from Nike… ‘just do it!’

You’ll be happy you did!
