For many people, the idea of visiting a doctor when you feel fine is something new. A growing number of people who want to have the best in health are finding that visits to a San Antonio chiropractor is the key to feeling great and avoiding illness. Chiropractic care offers the key to health.

Many people remember staying at home instead of going to school when sick and returning as you felt better. The lesson this taught students was that being sick had obvious symptoms. However, today there are many health problems that result from lifestyle choices that often do not have obvious symptoms until the condition is well advanced.

In truth, health is not related to symptoms but the inner workings of the body. If you eat food that has not been prepared properly, and vomit to expel it, you may not feel healthy, even though your body is responding in a healthy manner. The true measure of health is how well the body works and not how well one feels.

The function of the human body is highly dependent upon the integrity of the central nervous system. Chiropractic care is the perfect solution for wellness care. Chiropractic adjustments ensure that each tissue and organ has no interruption in the nerve supply. The chiropractic doctor can help to detect the small problems before they become much more serious.

True health includes optimum mental, physical, and social well-being and not just the absence of disease. Developing healthy habits, eating a more nutritious diet, drinking more water and exercising regularly are even more helpful when one ensures the nervous system is working correctly.

While practically everyone wants better health, care should be based on more than whether one is experiencing pain or other symptoms. A San Antonio chiropractor can locate subluxations that exist without other symptoms. The doctor can then provide care needed for wellness.

Osteoarthritis of the hip affects around one in four people over the age of sixty. As the condition progresses, it can become disabling and be a source of chronic pain. A San Antonio chiropractor uses safe, non-invasive techniques to help local patients with hip osteoarthritis. Her therapy program relieves hip pain and reduce joint deterioration.

Hip osteoarthritis is caused by degeneration of the cartilage in the joint. In many cases, it develops over time due to normal wear-and-tear. It may also be the consequence of a fracture, dislocation, or disease. The obese are at greater risk as excess weight increases stress on your hip joints.

The first sign of hip osteoarthritis is stiffness in the groin or thighs upon waking in the morning. The pain gradually becomes more pronounced and persistent. It can be exacerbated by walking and is often worse in cold weather. As the hip joint’s range of motion is reduced, mobility is limited and a limp may develop.

When a patient visits the chiropractic clinic with hip pain, they undergo a thorough assessment. The doctor consults with them about their medical history and symptoms. She then performs a physical examination including specific orthopedic tests. She also assesses posture, flexibility, and muscle strength. The findings allow her to develop a therapy plan tailored to the patient’s needs.

The initial aims of the program are to reduce inflammation around the hip joint, increase range of motion, and alleviate pain. The chiropractor uses careful manual adjustments to mobilize the hip and improve joint function. Stiff, tightened muscles are released with gentle massage. Heat or cold therapy may also be applied.

Once the pain and inflammation has subsided, rehabilitation can begin. The San Antonio chiropractor assigns home exercises to all her hip osteoarthritis patients. A stretching routine helps to increase flexibility and strengthen weakened muscles. Patients are also given advice on lifestyle modifications to improve their condition.
