Chiropractor Woodlawn MD

Some of the more common misconceptions that many people in our Woodlawn, MD community have about chiropractic is that chiropractors only help neck and back pain. Chiropractors can help many other conditions as mentioned above. As we care for a patient and that patient regains normal spinal function irritation to the spinal nerves are removed. The spinal nerves travel to all of the organs and tissues in your body. If those nerves are no longer being irritated at the spinal level then those nerves are free to send good and proper signals to the organs and tissues and, likewise, those organs and tissues can now send good and proper nerve messages back to your brain. In this way your organ systems can be effected in a positive way.

Another misconception about chiropractic is that your treatment plan will mean an excessive visit schedule. At Barrett Family Chiropractic, we to our best to concentrate on getting you well, frequently evaluating your progress and changing your treatment plan as your condition dictates. Some people have long-standing conditions and they will need to be seen more frequently in the beginning of their healing process. Here at Barrett Family Chiropractic, Dr. Barrett’s goal is to get every patient to progress as quickly as possible. As your condition improves we will be doing frequent re-evaluations to see if you’re improving enough that we can start to see you less frequently. At that point we may be shifting more of the care on to you at home. There may be stretches, exercises or heat/cold therapies that you can do at home in order to insure you do not lose progress and that you actually improve.
