What symptoms can chiropractic care in Webster TX help?

Chiropractors in Webster TX specialize in N-E-U-R-O-M-U-S-C-U-L-O-S-K-E-L-E-T-A-L health. WOW! That's a long word!! Let us break it down for you. N-E-U-R-O refers to nerves. When nerves are compromised, it creates symptoms like numbness, tingling, burning and shooting pain. M-U-S-C-U-L-O refers to muscles. When muscles are injured, symptoms manifest as sharp, tight, aching, or throbbing pain. S-K-E-L-E-T-A-L (I bet you know this one!) refers to the bones. When there is an issue with the bones the pain may be deep or diffuse. Most people find that they experience issues related to two or three of these systems rather than just one, and a chiropractic treatment addresses all three simultaneously. Thus reducing the pain and discomfort you are experiencing.

How does chiropractic care help things like ear infections and allergies?

Allergies are our body's hyperactive response to some sort of stimuli. Chiropractic adjustments work to balance the nervous system and help boost the immune system. The adjustment can return the body to a more balanced state which reduces the allergic reaction and in return protects the body. Ear infections are often caused by a buildup of fluid in the inner ear that becomes infected. A specific technique utilized by chiropractors can open the Eustachian tube (the tube that runs from the inner ear to the nasal cavity) which leads to a release of the fluid in the inner ear. By reducing the fluid and creating a more suitable environment the chance of infection is less likely. An overall chiropractic manipulation can help boost the body's immune system and help fight infection.

How often should you have chiropractic care for optimum results?

Do you need care for an acute injury? Do you need relief from a chronic problem? Do you need correction of bad biomechanics? Do you want to boost your immune system? Do you want general wellness care? As you can see there are many questions that need to be answered before determining how often you may need chiropractic care for optimal results. This is why it is a good idea to talk with your chiropractor and determine the best treatment plan for your needs. A good guideline is that acute injuries need to be addressed more often for a short amount of time, whereas chronic issues require the visits be spread over a longer period of time. Wellness visits are generally suggested on a monthly to bimonthly basis. The frequency of this type of treatment is dependent on your body's maintenance of the manipulation. Factors that can affect this include activity level, age, fitness level, occupation, stress level, existing health issues to name a few.
