The holistic approach to chiropractic care

Chiropractic care will usually take on a holistic approach to the treatment of patients. Holistic healthcare takes into consideration the whole person, including the body, mind and environmental influences, not just the problematic area. This is done in order to improve overall health and wellbeing. Consideration of contributing factors to overall wellbeing is often crucial to dealing with the root cause of symptoms that develop. Chiropractors are well placed in their training to evaluate this.
A chiropractor's training includes anatomy and physiology of body function as well as understanding how the body can respond, adapt or be overwhelmed by different external influences. So, while chiropractors can indeed treat problem areas, pain and injury, by doing this with a more holistic approach, this may support the more complete resolution of a given issue and prevent future problems from beginning in the first place. It is important to emphasise that prevention or reducing future risk is of key importance when it comes to chiropractic care.
Holistic chiropractic treatment is a natural approach that can in many cases result in the relief of pain and improvement of general health and wellbeing without having to rely on medication. With that in mind though any changes in medication should only be done under the supervision of the qualified health professional that has prescribed them.
During assessment, it is not only physical stresses in a patient's life that will be considered. Other factors to be considered include chemical, emotional, environmental and nutritional stresses and how they may be contributing to the patient's problems.
In many cases, a natural approach to can be the best way to treat health concerns and problematic areas. Some of these can include;

• Lifestyle changes, such as diet, exercise and sleep routine
• Holistic treatment working alongside more traditional treatments
• Stress reduction techniques

Medication may suit some people as an effective option for short term pain relief, however, having holistic treatment can target the root cause of the pain, thus the possibility of greater adaptive change and resolution. Chiropractors offer an evidence-based approach to treatment and it is well documented the benefits that can be achieved by a holistic approach.
