Holistic Chiropractic

Holistic chiropractic assumes that long-term health requires understanding all the factors that normally allow the body to function as intended. Chiropractic traditionally recognizes chemical, structural, and emotional influences on health. Holistic chiropractic expands the inquiry beyond the immediate trigger of illness rather than stopping at the presenting cause. The holistic chiropractic approach looks for the source of a problem rather than treating the visible issue as the complete explanation. Emotional signals include thoughts, stress, and mental states that influence physiological function. Structural signals include posture, movement, trauma, alignment, and physical stress. Chemical signals include foods, drugs, toxins, heavy metals, and pollution. Modern chiropractic should consider all three sides of the health triangle because modern exposures and stressors have changed.
