What is Chiropractic

Chiropractic is a “manual therapy” that originated in the United States about 130 years ago. Contributing to many distressing complaints, chiropractic is recognized as a “complementary health approach” that requires advanced knowledge and skills. Furthermore, it is the only chiropractic treatment recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) among many other manual therapies, and it is a reliable therapy that is spreading widely, especially in developed countries.

Chiropractic, which is practiced in more than 90 countries around the world, applies a manual adjustment stimulus to the spine, pelvis, and limb joints where problems exist. The purpose of this adjustment method is to improve the condition of the motor and nervous systems that control the body’s functions, enhancing “self-healing power” and leading to health. In addition, by taking into account the tension and adhesions in the muscles and internal organs, our treatment greatly contributes to early improvement and prevention of recurrence of the uncomfortable symptoms that have been troubling you.

The main symptoms of patients who come to our chiropractic office are often motor problems such as “back pain, stiff shoulders and neck, headaches, and numbness in the limbs. Even for common problems such as back pain and stiff shoulders, there are a variety of conditions that trigger symptoms and factors that immobilize them. Manual treatments that do not concern themselves with the causes may be difficult or even dangerous to resolve. We provide “safe and secure” chiropractic care that meets WHO standards, and support the maintenance of health “effectively” through examination and treatment appropriate to each individual’s problems.

Age and Physical Changes

0 to 30 years old

This is the age group in which basic body functions (musculoskeletal, nervous, immune/lymphatic, reproductive and circulatory systems) are developing. The speed of development varies from person to person depending on each individual’s physical constitution and lifestyle. The amount of water in the body, flexibility of muscles and ligaments, and other bodily functions are youthful, and recovery from illness and injury is strong during this period. However, stress caused by irregular lifestyle habits (lack of sleep, picky eating, lack of exercise, poor posture, etc.) will surely accumulate in the body. In order not to impede the development of bodily functions that are directly related to a healthy body, we recommend a healthy lifestyle that is conscious of diet and sleep quality while preventing modifications in spinal function, the key to a healthy body, with chiropractic care.

People between the ages of 30 and 45

Although human body functions vary from person to person depending on one’s constitution and lifestyle, it is believed that the functions of the body begin to decline after the age of 30. However, by the age of 45, there are few aging phenomena that cause drastic changes, and depending on one’s awareness of daily self-management, the body may still be young. We strongly recommend that you start taking care of your own body from the healthy or unwell stage so that you can continue to live healthy, happy, and youthful days without any breakdown in your condition in the future. We strongly recommend that you start taking care of yourself from the healthy or pre-disease stage so that you can continue to live a healthy, happy, and youthful life without losing your health.

People from 45 to 65 years old and over

Generally speaking, the decline in kidney and liver function begins to become more pronounced after the age of 45. They are closely related to the electrolytes and nutrients in the blood that flows throughout the body, and are also closely related to vascular conditions such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes mellitus. Many people also feel that their spine, pelvis, and limb joints have become stiff. Since deterioration of bodily functions is bound to occur as we age, it is a good idea to stretch and see for yourself whether your body is in a soft state. A flexible body is one of the criteria for “health. As “locomo care” to prevent bedridden patients, maintain your body functions as much as possible with chiropractic care!
