Chiropractic

Chiropractors, such as Dr. Busch of Busch Chiropractic in Fort Wayne, practice a drug-free, nonsurgical, hands-on approach to healthcare that includes patient examination, diagnosis, and treatment. Chiropractors have broad diagnostic skills and are also trained to recommend therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises, as well as provide nutritional, dietary, and lifestyle counseling. The most common procedure performed is a “Chiropractic Spinal Manipulation,” also called “chiropractic adjustment.” This procedure can be manual as well as non-force adjusting. The purpose of manipulation is to restore joint mobility and stimulate the Nervous System, by manually applying a controlled force into joints that have become hypomobile – or restricted in their movement – as a result of a tissue injury. Tissue injury can be caused by a single traumatic event, such as improper lifting of a heavy object, or through repetitive stresses, such as sitting in an awkward position with poor spinal posture for an extended period of time. In either case, injured tissues undergo physical and chemical changes that can cause inflammation, pain, and diminished function for the sufferer.

Manipulation, or adjustment of the affected joint and tissues, restores mobility, and stimulates the nervous system, thereby helping to relieve pain and muscle tightness, improving communication to the Nervous System, and allowing tissues to heal.
