Chiropractor In Darien 

Core Health Darien has been helping Darien residents with their chiropractic care for 30 years. We also serve the chiropractic needs of  Stamford Ct and the chiropractic needs of New Canaan CT because of our close proximity. Here is what you can expect from a chiropractic visit;
 
Let’s assume that you have made an appointment. You should expect to fill out some paperwork so arrive a little early. If you have any imaging studies like previous xrays or mri’s bring them with you. The information is valuable and may save you the trouble and expense of having to take more this visit. The chiropractor will ask you many questions like any other doctor to learn more about your case. After that you will be examined with the main complaint area being focused on. You may need additional xrays or mri to allow the chiropractor to better understand your problem.

You may or may not receive treatment on this visit. A follow up visit is in order to tell you of the chiropractor’s finding and to give you a recommendation on treatment options. You should know that there are many different types of chiropractic treatments. It is entirely okay for you to ask about the treatment they have in store for you. The goal for your care should be as follows, it should be safe, comfortable and effective. With these goals in mind you should give chiropractic a solid try. By that I mean if your chiropractor says it will take 2 months for you to get better, heed that advice. Give it a chance by all means. You want results and your chiropractor wants results but sometimes results may take time. If you go into chiropractic care expecting instant results then do yourself a favor and don’t do it at all. 

What Else Chiropractors Do

Did you know that chiropractors treat many conditions besides back and neck pain? Below are just a few things we have had success treating naturally at Core Health Darien. Hiatal Hernia, Achilles Tendonitis, Frozen Shoulder, Carpal Tunnel, Sinus Headaches, Golfer's Elbow, Spinal Stenosis, Lumbago, Peripheral Nenuropathy,  and Knee Pain to name aa few conditions.
If your medical doctor cannot write a script they cannot help. Their first line is "here take this and your pain should go away". Well when a pill or a shot does not ease your pain you can turn to your chiropractor. You would be surprised how many things Chiropractors can help using all natural methods. Chiropractic has been around for over 125 years helping people feel better. If you are interested in feeling better give us a call 203-656-3636. Core Health Darien is located at 551 Post Road in the same building as Quest Diagnostic and M&T Bank.

Spine Health and Chiropractors

Core Health Darien likes to remind people that they typically brush their teeth on a daily basis. The rationale is that teeth are permanent and not replaceable in a natural form. Well, you only have one spine so how would you go about protecting your irreplaceable spine? Maybe you could stretch and exercise? Perhaps get better quality sleep? Then you might go one step further and consider regular chiropractic care as part of a health plan to protect your spine. Think of chiropractic care as a preventative lifestyle to protect your spine, since you only have one spine. Health is an optimal state and chiropractic health is only one aspect. Unfortunately, it is often overlooked because Big Pharma cannot profit from you keeping your spine healthy.

What Chiropractors Do

Your chiropractor will examine how your spine moves. A term we as chiropractors like to use is kinesiology which means the study of the principles of mechanics and anatomy in relation to human movement. As you can see this is very important to how your spine will function. When a spinal bone is out of place we call it a subluxation. A vertebra that is subluxated will impede nervous system flow between the brain and the body. Sometimes this can be painful and at times barely a nuisance. BY identifying a subluxated vertebra your chiropractor will remove the nerve interference to reduce pain and also allow for better communication of the nerves. So chiropractors are not nerve doctors. Chiropractors are doctors who rely on moving subluxations to restore nerve flow. The big thing to remember is that chiropractors do this without using drugs or surgery. It is an all-natural means of achieving spinal health. Most people only think of chiropractors as back or neck pain doctors.

Chiropractic Education

Like most healthcare practitioners, chiropractors undergo rigorous training. Basic health sciences like biology, chemistry, and physiology are the same in the first two years of training. Then we go into more specific training relating to spinal care. I might add that chiropractors often treat the entire skeletal system. The spine is a focal point but chiropractors can treat other health conditions.
Here are a few of the other health conditions we treat at Core Health Darien that are not spine-related;
Plantar fasciitis
Tennis Elbow
Frozen Shoulder
Headaches
Migraines

Medical Care & Chiropractic

The medical profession as a whole is only starting to understand the role chiropractic care plays in overall health. As an occupation, chiropractors are regularly receiving referrals from medical doctors for chiropractic treatment. There was a time when medical doctors would not associate with a chiropractor. There are chiropractors who work in hospitals and the Veterans Administration. Chiropractic care has come a long way since its start in 1895 as an offshoot of osteopathy. As more information about chiropractic appears in research the more likely even more medical doctors will send patients to chiropractors. Medical doctors are not trained in the care a chiropractor provides.
The chiropractic profession must self-fund the health studies. As more health studies are published in places like the Mayo Clinic Press the greater medical acceptance of chiropractic practice will be benefiting the health of all patients. 

Occupational Outlook for Chiropractic Care

Today, a person's overall health is complicated. When faced with the Covid 19 pandemic, chiropractors were deemed essential health care workers to keep pressure off the medical profession who had their hands full with the treatment of seriously ill patients. Chiropractors are not medical doctors. Chiropractors do not prescribe medicine. It is not in a chiropractor's scope of practice to write prescriptions. Chiropractors enjoy substantial median annual wages for the care they provide. If you are considering a career in chiropractic you can reach out to the American Chiropractic Association for more information.
