Many people are skeptical about seeing chiropractor in Overland Park and the profession as a whole. And rightfully so. Before the science of Spinal Biomechanical Engineering (which we’ll discuss a bit here) people went to chiropractors for two main reasons: because they “believed” in it or nothing else worked. Why go to a chiropractor if something else, anything else, would work? Chiropractic has a long history of being different than the standard medical Path. That difference has held people back from understanding what chiropractic is actually about. The big idea though is that chiropractic care by itself is not what’s important. What’s important is why would you utilize it. Just like dental care isn’t what matters, it’s having healthy teeth that people are after.

Many people find themselves in pain, as a matter of fact the number one cause of disability is pain and the most widely reported symptom is pain. After cold and flu medication, pain relievers are the most widely purchased over-the-counter medication nationally.

The issue really becomes then why does a person have pain?

Our body is designed to give us pain when something is wrong. Whether it’s a cut or a broken bone or a burn, pain tells us something is wrong. When we can’t see what hurts, maybe it’s a lower back ache or neck pain or a headache…it’s hard to define. When we can’t see the problem, like we could see it cut or a scrape, it’s all too easy to end up just popping a pain pill.

Imagine medical care 200 years ago… we didn’t have microscopes, antibiotics, or any of the modern technology we take for granted. Our most competent medical minds were left struggling with diagnosing and treating their patients. They ended up using things like bloodletting to try and treat something they didn’t understand. Technology has changed everything. Now if we’re sick we can go to the doctor and find out exactly what bacteria or virus we have, we can know exactly what our blood counts are, and we can know the best antibiotic to treat what’s wrong with us.

Spinal Biomechanical Engineering in Overland Park KS

As far as we are concerned at True Health, the most exciting thing that has ever happened in the field of pain management, is spinal biomechanical engineering. For the first time in the history of spinal pain management we have a way to quantify what is going right and more importantly what is going wrong in the spine. Using standing x-rays of the spine we are able to measure down to the millimeter exactly how the mechanics of the spine are working and know the very best course of action. This technology is what we learned during training in our fellowship through the University of Buffalo Medical School.

If you go to any chiropractic office and ask for their testimonials, I bet you would be impressed. Diverse conditions cured, chronic problems resolved, as so on. But here’s the problem, lots of things get results. Faith healing, the power of crystals, Holy water, etc. these things can get results as well. Today, results actually matter less than how person that got them. Remember in math class when you got the right answer but you didn’t get credit because you didn’t show your work, that’s like healthcare. If we can’t document with science what is wrong, then demonstrate what is improved after an intervention, then we’re left struggling to know what did what. Healthcare needs to be a science, anything else is not acceptable.

At True Health we utilize the science of spinal biomechanical engineering to diagnose exactly what’s wrong with the spine patient. This allows us to diagnose and create a plan of care. We utilize low force and specific adjusting instruments to easily and painlessly make the needed corrections in the spine. Using the science of spinal biomechanical engineering, we can quantify what we call Structural Distortion.

The structure of your body, your bones, muscles, ligaments, all are designed to work in specific ways. When your structure doesn’t work together like it should this causes pain. Therefore, pain in our body is most often caused by structural distortion.

Ever feel pain in one part of your body but something right next to it doesn’t hurt? Why is that? In every case, something isn’t working properly in that area. It must be diagnosed and quantified; that process is spinal biomechanical engineering.

As mentioned before, the number one reported symptom in and our country and the number one cause of disability is pain. We can guarantee that almost 100% of these people were not diagnosed using spinal biomechanical engineering. This doesn’t mean that everything can be fixed necessarily but without proper diagnosis, people will be left struggling.

We know is that entirely too many people have pain on a daily basis.

We know that pain happens when something isn’t working right or is injured.

When a bone, muscle or ligament isn’t working right, it’s called structural distortion.

The best way to diagnose structural distortion is using spinal biomechanical engineering.

The best way to fix structural distortion is through specific adjusting of the spine

Using adjusting instruments, we’re able to be specific and pain-free in our corrections.

Using Spinal Biomechanical Engineering in Overland Park we can take the same x-rays after a course of care and document the improvements.

Many people ask why they would see a chiropractor. Before Spinal Biomechanical Engineering, a critically thinking, intelligent person might have a hard time answering that question. Now that care for the structure of the spine is an objective science, that same critically thinking person is able to answer the question easily in two parts.

1. If you don’t see (a properly trained) chiropractor, you are much more likely to end up with the most common symptom and the most common cause of disability in our country…pain.
2. Through specific assessment and treatment of the structure of the body we are able to delay or prevent age related structural decline, and keep quality of life higher for longer.

If you have pain in your spine or headaches, you must have a spinal biomechanical engineering exam. If you want to have healthy structure, maintain healthy posture as you age, and maintain a pain-free spine, you should have a spinal biomechanical engineering exam.
