Chiropractors in West Los Angeles : What to Expect
Your First Visit to Ptak Wellness
When you come to Ptak Wellness, we will perform a thorough History, Consultation and Neurological, Orthopedic and Chiropractic Exam to assess if you have subluxation in your spine contributing to your problem. Subluxation is when a bone in your spine is out of alignment. As a West Los Angeles chiropractor we know these spinal conditions can negatively affect your body in 2 ways.
First, it creates nerve interference. Your brain controls everything in your body, and it does this by using the nerves – like cell phones, to communicate with the heart, liver, etc… When a subluxation occurs, it prevents some of this information from getting through – just like a cell phone that has a weak signal. When this happens if the subluxation is left uncorrected, over time the organ the nerve is supplying will begin to malfunction. This organ malfunction can create conditions such as high blood pressure, asthma, acid reflux, neck pain and low back pain.
Detailed Examination & X-rays
The second effect of a subluxation is accelerated bone, joint and disc decay or degeneration, like a cavity in your spine. Research shows that a spine out of alignment degenerates far more rapidly than a spine in alignment. If during the evaluation process we find you have a subluxation then we will take X-rays of the subluxated area.
We will analyze these X-rays to find out how severe the subluxation is and if we can help you. If we can help you, we will give you our recommendations for relief and correction and you, the patient, can choose what fits into your schedule, budget, and health goals.
