Chiropractor West Dundee IL

One thing that makes WNC unique is the doctors’ ability to use muscle reflex testing to ascertain the sequence in which we adjust the spine, identify nutritional imbalances, which organ or system needs attention, or if an emotional release technique is needed. These are often missed by most practitioners or chiropractors.

Whether a person is suffering from a simple ”I slept wrong” pain syndrome or something more severe, like IBS, the doctors’ Holistic techniques are able to balance the nuances of body energies, minimize the impact of emotional overwhelm, support specific nutritional deficiencies, and reduce the effects of stress so that the condition doesn’t return.

The most common conditions we see in our nutritional practice are things like Digestion (acid reflux, bloating, IBS, etc.), fatigue, thyroid problems, female hormone imbalances, and sleep issues.

In the Chiropractic practice, the most common conditions we have great success with are low back pain, mid back pain, neck pain, headaches, and chronic pain patients.

Misconceptions about Chiropractic in my area of West Dundee, East Dundee, Sleepy Hollow, Algonquin, and Elgin are that most people don’t understand…

1. The overwhelming and proven safety of getting adjusted,
2. What a Chiropractic adjustment actually is or does
3. And that your back "pain" isn’t necessarily THE problem, rather there is an underlying FUNCTIONAL problem (a stressor, an old posture habit, or an organ reflex, or an old injury) that is causing your painful experience

So let’s address these 1 by 1…

1) Safety: Chiropractic has been proven to be very safe over decades of study, but the quickest proof is seen by observing that the cost of malpractice insurance premiums for the average chiropractor is about 90% less expensive than that of the average practicing medical doctor in West Dundee. That can only be true if there are fewer claims, fewer injuries, and, therefore, less risk.

2) Adjustments: The goal of a chiropractic adjustment has nothing to do with the spinal joint ‘cracks’ or ‘pops’ you might hear when one is done. Rather, the goal is to gently induce proper spinal joint movement and positioning so that the nervous system can “reset” at that level of the spine, which then restores normal joint motion, so that muscle spasm and pain can melt away.

3) Back “Problem”: The body adapts and compensates for little misalignments that result from poorly healed injuries and bad posture habits. Over time, the spine runs out of “wiggle room,” and it can no longer compensate, creating tight areas and unbalanced muscles. This can eventually create secondary pain syndromes of all kinds, but the bottom line is that the pain is the Effect of the functional problem, not the problem itself.

Misconceptions about a Nutritional practice in my area of West Dundee, East Dundee, Sleepy Hollow, Algonquin and Elgin, are that most people don’t understand…

1. The negative impact that the “Standard American Diet” (SAD) has on our health and longevity
2. The need to ‘supplement’ your diet (even if you eat well) with vitamins.

So let’s address these 1 by 1…

1) The Standard American Diet: Fake sugars, fake fats, bad oils and bad proteins. All of these put toxins into your body and pull nutrients out of your tissues. Your body requires actual foods (with enzymes and micronutrients) as fuel. Not colorful, nutritionally-devoid substances made in a factory that can last a long time on store shelves labeled as food.

2) Taking Supplements: #1-You cannot out-supplement a bad diet! #2-Unless you eat foods off of your very own organic farm, you need to regularly detox and supplement. Period.
