One of the main reasons why people don’t make use of chiropractic adjustments is the gross misconception that people have about spine alignments. We have all seen many chiropractors on television giving chiropractic adjustments to people with what seems to be some type of wrestling stronghold followed by the cracking sounds of their spine caving. It is these pictures and sounds that make a lot of people apprehensive towards keeping good chiropractic health. In addition, people also have the wrong idea that chiropractic adjustments are only meant to treat spinal imbalances and even though this is the purpose of chiropractic adjustments, the effects are echoed throughout the whole body.
A study conducted by award-winning Auckland researcher, Dr Heidi Haavik-Taylor demonstrates that chiropractic adjustments send signals to the brain that change the way the brain controls muscles. Her study implies that chiropractic adjustments work for the body the same way that a computer reboot works for you pc. After a chiropractic adjustment, the quality of your brain waves is changed and the consequences are felt in many systems in the body.
One of these very important systems is the cardiovascular system. Studies have shown that chiropractic treatments could lower high blood pressure which is the main culprit of the number one cause of heart problems. In a study examining the effects of chiropractic adjustments of the thoracic spine on blood pressure and anxiety, results indicated that both systolic and diastolic blood pressure decreased significantly in those subject that were given the chiropractic adjustments whereas no significant changes occurred in the placebo and control groups. This is a prime example of the exponential benefits of maintaining good chiropractic health.
Notwithstanding all these great benefits people still shy away from getting chiropractic adjustments. I think that asides people misconceptions; another huge problem is chiropractic advertisement. I mean, you can have the best chiropractic products in the world, but if people don’t know about it then nobody will come for them.
The public is usually not aware of all the past and on-going chiropractic education that practioners have to go through and are less aware of all the excellent new chiropractic products that this education has produced. It is important for Chiropractors all over the world to advertise new technologies available that may help abate the fears of those who can benefit tremendously from chiropractic adjustments but are frightened to do it.
The days of the wrestle-my-spine chiropractic adjustments are coming to an end. A company based in Phoenix, AZ that does chiropractic research has developed a tool and techniques that help give chiropractic adjustments the tint of surgical accuracy. This company developed a tool called the Activator, which is a tool which combined with new chiropractic adjustment techniques provide customers with low-force and quick spinal adjustments that can be focused to treat an exact area of a patient that is causing health problems. However, I am willing to bet that not many people know about this excellent and exciting new product. If Chiropractors were to advertise this new tool for chiropractic adjustments, I would also be willing to bet their office would flood with patients. If as a chiropractor, you have not heard of this great tool, Activator Methods International Ltd, is constantly giving chiropractic seminars to any practitioner interested in learning this new cutting edge technique.
All we want is to feel good and we will do as much as we can to get there. The information about all the benefits of chiropractic adjustments is all out there. Study after study show a positive correlation between chiropractic adjustments and overall health. As a chiropractor you want to make your patients feel as comfortable as possible and patients want to feel safe under your care. Patients want their chiropractors to have the latest chiropractic products—if these tools make their stay at the office a less stressful one. Knowledge is only a good thing if society benefits from it. Activator Methods International has worked for over 40 years coming up with this excellent tool and knows the importance of patient comfort when it comes to dispelling the old notions and techniques of chiropractic adjustments. It’s time chiropractors and patients did too.
