Our
charlotte chiropractic office uses both dynamic healthcare and
static chiropractic healthcare approaches. We
must start by defining what dynamic chiropractic health care is. According
to random house dictionary, dynamic is of or pertaining to force
or energy related to motion. In this area we address the
parts of your body related to motion.
From our perspective we want to evaluate the
area of your body that effect motion. These are specific
tests that affect your ability to move through a complete range
of motion. The first step is to measure your range of motion
using video range of motion. Digital photos are taken of
various movements. They are then evaluated by computer to
compare your range of motion to the guidelines of the American
Medical Association. (AMA).
In this dynamic chiropractic healthcare evaluation
we are able to determine the cause of any lack of motion and what
will be necessary to correct it. Reflex testing is also utilized
in order to strengthen different areas. We use a technique
called Applied Kinesiology. Stretching exercises may also
be employed to further increase a decreased angle of motion.
Static chiropractic healthcare is from a different
perspective. Static refers to objects at rest or in equilibrium. This
area is evaluated using our computerized
postural exam. Digital
photos are taken of a person’s posture and evaluated by computer. This
information gives us a static view, that is, the patient is standing
at rest.
The computerized postural exam allows us to
see how forces are being distributed throughout your body. For
example, a forward head posture can cause strain in the low back
area due to it being overloaded by stress. An unleveled
reading when comparing the shoulders could be an indicator of scoliosis. Correcting
bad posture helps to reduce the stress on your entire body.
As you can see, our charlotte clinic uses both
dynamic chiropractic healthcare and static chiropractic healthcare
approaches. Through the use of chiropractic adjustments,
postural re-training, nutrition, exercises and stretching movements
we are able to help restore your health.
