Chiropractic is a health care discipline and profession that emphasizes diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine, under the hypothesis that these disorders affect general health via the nervous system. It is generally categorized as complementary and alternative medicine a characterization.
Although chiropractors have many attributes of primary care providers, chiropractic has more of the attributes of a medical specialty like dentistry or podiatry. The main chiropractic treatment technique involves manual therapy, including manipulation of the spine, other joints, and soft tissues; treatment also includes exercises and health and lifestyle counseling. Traditional chiropractic care assumes that a vertebral subluxation or spinal joint dysfunction interferes with the body's function and its innate intelligence.
The adjustments preformed by Dr. Steskal allow the body to heal in the way that God intended. It is a natural form of health care that can have astoundingly positive effects for someone who is under incredible stress, or in immense pain. When nerves are pinched and not in the correct places in the body, we know that this can cause pain, along with a myriad of other issues that a person can experience, including disease and sickness. For healthy people chiropractic care can easily maintain this good health and improve it. |

Valerie, a 7 year old girl had initial exam with us in August 2011. She had chronic pain in her right hip and leg since 2 years old and had to be iced and given ibuprophen every night. She could not walk more than 50 yards without extreme pain. She could not walk normally and had to be pushed in a stroller anytime the family went anywhere. She had been diagnosed with "carpal tunnel of the hip" and was scheduled for surgery last month.

Chiropractic Care Helps Failed Back Surgery - A Case Study |

A case study published in the January 10, 2009 issue of the scientific periodical, the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research documented the recovery of a 58 year old man who was suffering from low back pain and left lateral leg pain and had lower back surgery that was unsuccessful in helping his problems.
The study starts off by noting that approximately 80% of adults will have low back pain at some time in their lives. The authors of the case study point out that, "Back pain is treated by surgical means and non surgical means and literature has shown that many low back surgeries are not successful."
In this particular case a 58 year old man was reaching out for an item at work when he felt a "pop" in his back that resulted in pain radiating down the back of the right thigh and into the leg. He initially tried chiropractic care for an unspecified time with little initial results but then he elected to have spinal surgery, where he had a laminectomy of L5/S1. After his surgery the pain was worse and more extensive. This problem left him disabled and unable to return to work. His condition remained for 3 years before seeking chiropractic care for a second time.
A chiropractic examination and x-rays were performed and a diagnosis of "lumbar and pelvic segmental dysfunction (subluxation) with associated left lateral leg pain." A regimen of specific chiropractic adjustments was initiated to correct the subluxations.
After about 5 weeks of chiropractic adjustments, the patient reported that his left leg pain had diminished significantly and the low back pain had diminished but was present more than the leg pain. This was an improvement as in the initial stages of care, the man reported that his leg pain was worse than the low back pain. After a total of 32 visits, the man reported that he had no leg pain and only complained of mild low back pain on one visit. He reported feeling much better since beginning chiropractic care and that chiropractic care had made a big difference in his life.
In the conclusion, the author stated, "Literature has shown that failed back surgery syndrome is a common problem, and that more patients are seeking chiropractic care for the solution to such a devastating condition. Chiropractic care can improve function and quality of life as it did in this patient."
