There are two types of chiropractors. The first type is the acute care specialist. These doctors are experts in acute pain relief and typically see you on an infrequent basis when aches or pains flare up. The second type is the corrective care specialist and these doctors are long term problem solvers. Dr Bronstein is the latter and is concerned less about how you look right now and more about how you’re going to look in a year or 5 or 10 years from now.
Spines adapt to the stresses we put on them which means traumas can add up, even if they seem minor. In fact, a recent Yale study found that auto accidents that occur at greater than 8.3 mph can have profound, lasting effects on the spine. Falls, accidents, sporting injuries, prolonged poor posture, twisting and lifting can all cause misalignments called subluxations which put pressure on nerves and cause dysfunction.
Spinal correction is the science of creating lasting, structural changes in your spine that can be viewed on x-ray. In most cases, we can even help you if you’ve been told that you have irreversible arthritis, degeneration or disc protrusions. You’re never too old to change this trajectory, but the sooner you start the easier problems are to correct, which is precisely why we see children as soon as they’re born.
