Initial Care |
 In the beginning, frequent visits are usually needed to relieve symptoms and begin
the healing process. If an ache or a pain, or any other obvious symptom has prompted
you to visit our office, the first thing that we want is for you to feel better.
Our office visits are often combined with physio-therapy
procedures to help offer
relief. Depending on your age, condition, and lifestyle, repeated visits for weeks
or even months may be needed to reduce or eliminate your symptoms. |

Corrective Care |
 Muscles, ligament and other soft tissue damage often remain after your original
symptoms have improved. Corrective care stabilizes your spine and promotes more
complete healing. Visit frequency is reduced and you may be encouraged to supplement
your care with exercise and other self-care procedures.
With your ache or pain gone,
more complete healing can occur. If you are released from care at this point, you
would be at risk of having a relapse. Corrective care, like orthodontics for the
teeth, is designed to restore proper posture, alignment, and motion to the spinal
bones. |

so how long you continue to benefit from the healthful effects of chiropractic is

Family Care |
Goldsboro Spine Center focuses on the health of the entire family. The doctors offer
complimentary scoliosis examinations for children the first Wednesday of every month.
Early detection means better prevention! Everyone functions better with 100% nerve
function, and everyone, especially children, deserve the right to express their
fullest potential. Chiropractic adjusting procedures are modified to fit a person's
size, weight, and unique spinal condition. They are both gentle and specific to
the child's developing spinal structures, as well as, an aging adult's condition.
More and more parents are seeking chiropractic care for their children. Many spinal
problems seen in adults began as early as birth. Even so called ‘natural’ birthing
methods can stress and infant’s spine and developing nerve system The resulting
irritation to the nerve system caused by spinal and cranial misalignment can be
the casue of many newborn health complaints. Colic, breathing problems, nursing
difficulties, sleep disturbances, allergic reactions and chronic infections can
often be traced to nerve system stress.
Since significant spinal trauma can occur at birth, many parents have their newborns
checked right away. As the infant grows, learning to hold up the head, sit, crawl
and walk are all activities that affect spinal alignment and are important times
to have a child checked by a Doctor of Chiropractic.
As the child begins to participate in regular childhood activities like skating
or riding a bike, small yet significant spinal misalignments (subluxations) may
occur. If neglected, the injuries during this period of rapid growth may lead to
more serious problems later in life. Subtle trauma throughout childhood will affect
the future development of the spine leading to impaired nervous system function.
Any interference to the vital nerve system will adversely affect the body’s ability
to function at its best.
One of the most common reasons parents seek care for their child is trauma from
an injury of some sort. These misalignments may or may not result in immediate pain
or symptoms. Regular chiropractic checkups can identify potential spinal injury
from these traumas,
make
the correction early in life and help avoid many of the health complaints seen later
in adults. Proper spinal hygiene is an important key to better health.
Another sought out reason for care is the resolution of a particular symptom or
condition. Parents seek care for conditions such as colic, ear infections, asthma,
allergies and headaches (to name a few) because they have heard from others that
chiropractic care can help. It is important to understand that the doctor of chiropractic
does not treat conditions or diseases. The expertise of the chiropractor is in checking
the child’s spine for misalignments that impair nervous system function therefore
affecting overall body function. The bones of the spine, the vertebrae, house and
protect the spinal cord. The spinal cord is an extension of the brain and carries
information from the brain to the body parts and back to the brain again. Subluxations
interfere with the nerve’s ability to transmit this vital information.
The nerve system controls and coordinates the function of all the systems in the
body: circulatory, respiratory, digestive, hormonal, eliminative, and immune system.
Any aspect of health may be impaired by nerve interference. The chiropractic adjustment
restores nerve system function allowing the body the ability to express a greater
state of health and well being. |
