Our Guiding principles
We are a holistic health practice focusing on patient-centered health care. The underlying principles of Huntington Chiropractic is “The power that made your body, has the power to heal your body”, however the patient has to create a healthy environment for that to occur. To create health, one must understand the principles and commit to do the work.
OUR PRINCIPLES OF HEALTH
Physical
The main form of treatment is called an adjustment, which involves a non-invasive procedure consisting of a precise direct movement to help relieve pain or discomfort, while restoring range of motion. Chiropractic adjustments can be applied to the spine, limbs, and ribs. Activator (instrument adjustment) and soft tissue therapies are employed to re-establish a healthy functional spine, limbs, and nervous system. Customized therapies such as x-ray, trigger points, or ultrasound may be utilized.
When appropriate, a referral can be made to specialized health care professionals.
Mental
Focus on positive health principles and useful resource materials like “Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers” and not the negative aspects of dis-ease.
When appropriate, a referral can be made to specialized health care professionals.
Nutrition
Nutritional concerns, such as food intolerances (lactose or gluten) can be addressed through a whole foods lifestyle or pegan (pegan-vegan) principles. Vitamins and supplements can be added when necessary. Peak performance is achieved through healthy nutrition.
When appropriate, a referral can be made to specialized health care professionals.
Exercise
Exercises are used to restore stability of the core, spine, joints, ankles or toes to support healthy body structure. Think of your body like a house on a foundation. If your foundation is weak or uneven, it affects the alignment from the bottom up. Poor head posture affects balance that is needed to prevent falls. Exercises increase muscle tone, lung capacity, circulation, and lymphatic circulation. Yoga and Tai Chi are particularly helpful. “Sitting Kills, Moving Heals” by Joan Venikos is a suggested resource.
