What is chiropractic? That depends on how you ask. There are two main chiropractic associations; the American Chiropractic Association and the International Chiropractic Association. These two organizations have different definitions of what chiropractic is. The American Chiropractic Association tends to take a modern evidence based approach to treatment while the International Chiropractic Association tends to support a traditional definition of chiropractic. At Compass we. align with the American Chiropractic Association (ACA).
Chiropractic is a safe and effective way to treat headaches. Many people are unaware of how beneficial chiropractic can be in the treatment of headaches and they suffer needlessly. The most common treatment for headaches is NSAID medications. Most people taking these medications are unaware of the potential side effects including death, headaches (ironic) and bleeding ulcers to name a few.
Most people are familiar with chiropractic for treating back pain. In fact the American Academy of Family Physicians recommend chiropractic care for lower back pain. At Compass we have found that treatment of low back pain is only part of the picture. Without proper education in posture and proper movement patients typically relapse and have ongoing chronic low back pain. This is why we take the time to educate our patients on these important activities of daily living.
