Two Types of Chiropractors
Not all chiropractors are alike. Although they go by the same name, Chiropractors today differ greatly in technique and philosophy. There are basically two types of Chiropractors.
1. The Symptom Relief Chiropractor
Length of treatment is dictated by the patient’s symptoms, or insurance coverage. Monitoring patient’s progress by symptoms and insurance coverage, usually means shorter overall treatment time, but still leaves the patient far short of correcting the cause of the symptoms. The patient may feel better temporarily, but since the spine remains structurally misaligned, it degenerates silently and results in damage and dysfunction to discs, joints and nerves.
When symptoms improve, the patient assumes their spinal alignment is fixed. In most cases the spinal joints have merely been decompressed and pain is temporarily relieved.
2. The Traditional/Wellness Chiropractor
Dr. Jumper is this type of Chiropractor where we actually correct the spinal alignment back to its normal model and show you the results with pre and post digital x-rays. In most cases, If we were to stop care when your symptoms are gone and took another x-ray you would see that your spine is not fixed.
Length of treatment is determined by the severity of the patient’s structural alignment not just merely symptoms alone.
Symptoms may be gone long before the spine is at its maximum corrected position.
Once the spine is at its maximum corrected position we teach YOU how to maintain it so you don’t have to keep coming back. When spinal alignment is restored to its normal model, not only are symptoms relieved, but long lasting stable correction is achieved for better stability and function. So five, ten years from now you are not suffering with disc, joint and nerve related problems and possibly permanent damage.
The choice is yours.
