Physical Therapy and Neuromuscular Rehabilitation
With Dr. Jewa M. Lea, D.C.

There's nothing mysterious about chiropractic.  It's a natural method of health care that focuses on treating the causes of physical problems, rather than just the symptoms.  The Chiropractic model of health is centered on the philosophy that the human body will heal itself given the right opportunity and circumstances. 

With a normally functioning spine and a healthy lifestyle, your body is better able to heal itself.  Your spine is designed to support your body weight and protect your spinal cord, the vital link from your brain to the rest of your body.  The spinal cord, which is protected by the spine, is the main pathway of your nervous system.  It controls feeling, movement, and function throughout the body.  Since your spinal nerves affect all parts of your body, problems in your spine can cause other problems as well.

The purpose of the Chiropractic approach to health care is to uncover the cause of your health condition, not merely cover up your symptoms.  The absence of symptoms (e.g., pain) does not equal good health.  Wellness Care encompasses several aspects of overal health:  physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.

There are three phases of Chiropractic care:  Relief, Correction, and Wellness.  Relief is the first phase.  The goal of this phase is to reduce or eliminate pain.  The number of visits necessary to accomplish this will depend on your age, underlying spinal or joint condition, length of time you've had your condition, and other lifestyle choices.

Restoration of normal or maximal functions is the goal of the Correction phase.  In most conditions, pain is the last thing to show up and the first thing to leave when treating the musculoskeletal system.  Adaptations that have taken place in muscles and other soft tissue (e.g., ligaments and discs) require care beyond the relief phase to correct.

The purpose of the Wellness phase of care is to prevent relapses of previous conditions and to address new conditions before symptoms appear.  When maximum improvement has been achieved, the doctor will suggest an appropriate level of care neccesary to "maintain" the corrections made in the first two phases.

Chiropractic is commonly known for treating back pain.  It has also been found to be effective in treating:

Chiropractic Care and Massage Therapy complement each other. The effects of massage last longer when couples with chiropractic treatment, and vice versa.
