| Dr. Andrew Gorman: chiropractor in HCMC |

Chiropractic is a conservative and natural healing art and science that concentrates on removing pain and dysfunction from the body, thus restoring health and vitality. While chiropractic has existed for over 100 years, its approach to health and the body have stood the test of time--dating back to spinal manipulations first used by Hippocrates, the Father of Healing, in the 4th Century B.C. Chiropractic doctors attempt to get to the root cause of a health problem rather than just treat the symptoms. They seek to maximize the natural strengths of the body and its capacity to heal itself without the use of drugs and before trying surgery. While the primary focus of chiropractic is the detection, reduction and correction of spinal misalignments and nervous system dysfunction, ciropractors also manipulate other joints (knees, hips, jaws, ankles) as well as treating any problematic muscles. Misaligned vertebrae and tight muscles can irritate the nerves and disrupt the body's ability to send "command center" messages through the spine to different parts of the body such as the muscles, glands and organs. All parts of the human body require proper nerve energy and a flow of information in order to function properly. In this way, chiropractic treatment may also help Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), period pain, and other previously idiopathic abdominal complaints. It may also help with learning difficulties in school-aged children. The Chiropractic doctor, through a procedure called adjustments, helps to restore misaligned vertebrae, jaws, ankles and so on, to a more normal position, thus allowing the body to heal itself safely and naturally. Chiropractic's drugless and preventive approach to good health makes it perfectly appropriate for infants, children and teenagers. Andrew will be working 6 days a week, please phone FMP for appointments times. |
