The Chiropractic Center of North County uses a variety of safe and effective chiropractic techniques in order to stabilize, strengthen, and heal the body. No two bodies are the same. Careful evaluation, history, and exam findings are needed in order to determine and provide the correct type of chiropractic care.
Why Chiropractic
Science has proven that everyone has an inborn or innate intelligence that utilizes the nervous system to control and regulate the body’s vital functions as it relates the environment. This inner wisdom works both consciously and subconsciously at keeping you in balance with the proper heart rate, release of hormones, digestion of foods, regulation of breathing cycles, and so on. This system is always on and always functioning—24 hours a day, seven days a week. The most serious interferences to this system occur when certain short- or long-term stress is too much for the body to handle.
These stresses can arise from various sources: Physical Stresses:
- Auto Accidents
- Sports Trauma
- Injuries at Work
Chemical & Nutritional Stresses:
- What we EAT
- What we DRINK
- What we BREATHE
Emotional Stresses:
- Relationships at HOME
- Relationships at WORK
- Feelings from PAST relationships or experiences
Toxins in the Environment:
- Heavy metals
- Pesticides/Pollution
Electromagnetic Pollution:
- Cell phones/Computers/Tablets
- Power lines
- Microwaves
- TVs
Any of these stresses will cause nerve interferences that result in malfunction to every system in the body. Research has shown that if these interferences persist for more than 10 days, imbalances develop in the body, scar tissue forms, and cells cease to function properly.
Why Do We Focus on The Spine?
The spine serves not only to offer optimal biomechanics, but also to serve as a protective housing for the nerves that travel between the brain and tissues of the body. It is here that most, if not all, interferences exist. Thus, proper structure is vitally important to have proper function.
What we do is significantly different. Here’s why.
Along with employing the traditional chiropractic techniques, we offer a variety of alternative therapies that have been shown to be extremely effective:
Infrared Light Therapy
HealthLight is a photo-modulated (pulsed, light-emitting diodes) device also known as low-level light therapy (LLLT). Infrared phototherapy releases nitric oxide from the hemoglobin and surrounding tissue. Nitric oxide relaxes muscles and cells found in the arteries, veins, capillaries and lymph vessels. When these muscles relax, they dilate the blood vessel, thus allowing increased circulation.
Rapid Release Therapy
Scar tissue forms in the body as a temporary patching mechanism for wounds. Rapid Release Technology targets painful adhesions using resonance. RRT has determined the optimum frequency for effectiveness, which instantly releases cramps and muscle spasms and is focused on relief of soft tissue problems caused by scarring
Therapeutic Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound increases a process called cell streaming. Cell streaming is the movement of fluids within the cells of the human body. This process is important because the movement of fluids allows cells to communicate with increased efficiency, thereby speeding up the healing process to the injured tissues. Ultrasound therapy:
- increases blood flow in the injured area
- reduces swelling and edema, which can be significant sources of pain
- gently massages the muscles, tendons, and/or ligaments in the treated area and softens any scar tissue that is usually present in an injured area.
