The Benefits of Chiropractic Care in Olympia WA

At Evergreen Family Chiropractic, patients come in to see us for a variety of issues. Most of all, they come in with pain in their low back or neck. They are usually surprised to learn that chiropractic care in Olympia WA is more than just pain management. At Evergreen Family Chiropractic we educate our patients on the importance of the the overall function of your body. We seek out the root of your problem instead of just trying to cover up the symptom.

What is chiropractic care in Olympia WA?

Chiropractors are highly trained to use specific gentle force to joints of the body. This force is usually referred to as an adjustment. Adjustments are targeted at restricted joints to help them move more naturally and function properly. Adjustments are performed on all joints but most commonly are performed on the spine. The reason for this is our focus on freeing up the nervous system.

Why is the nervous system important?

The nervous system acts as the communication pathways between the brain and the body. The body sends information up the spinal cord to the brain. The brain interprets these signals and sends instructions down the spinal cord to the body. Nerves don't just connect to muscles and make them move. Nerves also connect to joints and every organ in the body. If there is an interruption in this communication pathway that's when we start experiencing symptoms. Symptoms aren't just limited to pain; they can include headaches, digestive issues, anxiety, trouble sleeping, and many more.

When symptoms arise and you go to your primary care provider, you'll typically be given a prescription drug to take. You have a headache? Here's a pain killer. You have trouble sleeping? Here's a sleep aid. The trouble with taking a drug is it only masks the symptom. It doesn't always treat the underlying cause of the symptom. It's like when your check engine light comes on and you just put a sticker over the top of it to ignore it. Just like how ignoring the check engine light will lead to big problems with your vehicle, ignoring your symptoms with drugs will only lead to more complications with your body. Chiropractors are highly trained to seek out the cause of your symptoms and then help the body naturally fix the issue.
