ABOUT CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Chiropractic care focuses on diagnosing and treating neuromuscular disorders, with an emphasis on treatment through manual adjustment and/or manipulation of the spine. Chiropractors aim to reduce pain and improve the functionality of patients as well as educate them on how they can account for their own health via exercise, ergonomics, and other therapies to treat back pain.
Chiropractic treatment can help with a range of conditions including but not limited to back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches. Treatment typically involves hands-on spinal manipulation, which chiropractors use to restore mobility to joints restricted by tissue injury caused by a traumatic event, such as falling, or repetitive stress, such as sitting without proper back support.
The philosophy of chiropractic care is to maintain proper alignment of the body's musculoskeletal structure, particularly the spine, to enable the body to heal itself without surgery or medication. By addressing the biomechanics and structure of the body, chiropractors can help relieve pain, improve function, and support the body's natural ability to heal itself.
Chiropractic care at Nexus HealthHub is conducted by Mark Kingham, who is dedicated to a holistic approach that integrates with other treatments to provide comprehensive care. Patients receive individualized assessments and treatment plans that may include manual adjustments, exercise recommendations, and lifestyle advice.
ABOUT FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
Functional medicine treats each person as an individual, aiming to get to the root cause of health problems. It’s a systems-oriented approach that assesses the whole patient and engages both the patient and the doctor in a therapeutic relationship. Functional medicine addresses the entire person, not just an isolated set of symptoms.
Practitioners at the Practice spend time with patients, listening to their histories and examining the interactions of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that influence long-term health and complex chronic conditions. This approach offers a powerful clinical model for the assessment, treatment, and prevention of chronic disease. Each individual is considered unique, and personalized nutrition and lifestyle programs are recommended, recognizing that outcomes may vary even among patients with similar health issues.
