What People Say About Life Purpose Chiropractic

Highly Recommend Dr. Rick! I recently started coming here (about a month) with 3 main issues. 1 of which, and the main reason I sought care, has bothered me for well over a year… well that pain and discomfort has been removed completely and the other 2 issues I’d say are relieved about 90%. And again after just a month. If your looking for a local chiropractor, Dr. Rick should be your guy.

Great personality, super easy visits. He does not go crazy on your whole body. He deals with what’s going on only which is wonderful. He’s a very nice man very talented Deanne. Their front desk person is also a Sweetheart so if you’re a little nervous, don’t worry about it just go right in. Have a great massage therapist there which is amazing so it’s like you can just get everything done.

Dr Rick is the Chiropractor that Chiropractors go to. He's informative, thorough, professional and caring, and he tells it like it is. I've been to other Chiropractors and the difference is like night and day. I'd recommend him to any family or friend or anyone in need.

FUNFACTS

Things you might not know about Chiropractic

Most people do not realize the lengths chiropractors had to go through to succeed in their profession. Hours and hours of constant training and education, which translate to those of a physician, are required to even graduate school. After 4 years of undergraduate medical education, chiropractors must continue on with another 4 years in a chiropractic college. Building and testing their knowledge rigorously, chiropractic school is no joke.

Gentle and precise adjustments are the main works of a chiropractor. These adjustments should realign the spine, resulting in fully functioning muscle tissue and neurological pathways. A correctly aligned spine is the start of a restoration of health and pain relief because there is no blockage in the communication of nerves throughout the body.

Chiropractic FAQ Home

CHIROPRACTICFAQS

Answers to some of the most common questions we hear from patients.

Chiropractors restore “normal” nerve transmission/function to the body through specific adjustments to the spinal bones. “Abnormal” nerve function (too much/too little) comes from misaligned bones or what chiropractors commonly refer to as “subluxations”.

These “subluxations” can create a state of “dis-ease” in the body…sometimes resulting in certain conditions. Specific adjustments bring the body back to it’s “EASE” state, oftentimes restoring one's state of health.

To determine whether chiropractic will be effective or not, one must consider a few important factors:

  1. Age of patient
  2. To the degree that the condition has progressed
  3. The body’s own innate ability to heal
  4. The chiropractor's ability to correctly analyze and adjust your spine
  5. The time you allow for recovery

No. Adjustments are intended to be specific. The specificity is what makes chiropractic unique! Treating everyone the same way with the same twisting of the neck and lower back from right to left and popping everything in between is not at all specific. Anything less than specific is not chiropractic and may do more harm than good to the patient!

Life Purpose Chiropractic uses the Gonstead method of adjusting and analyzing the spine. We're one of a few offices in Lockport that exclusively uses the Gonstead method. By thoroughly analyzing the spine through the use of x-ray, instrumentation, visualization, static and motion palpation you can expect a properly delivered adjustment.

Yes, chiropractic adjustments are safe…given that they are performed by a skilled and competent chiropractor! Like I tell patients, anyone can make a “popping” or “cracking” noise but very few people can make a proper adjustment. This is an art or skill that takes years to become efficient at. Chiropractic has been around since 1895 with a proven track record of success!

Besides the more common symptoms of neck and back pain, patients may often find relief/support with other symptoms such as:

  • Vertigo/dizziness
  • Headaches/Migraines
  • Menstrual issues
  • Digestive issues/Diarrhea/Constipation
  • Heartburn
  • Asthma
  • Pregnancy
  • Carpal Tunnel

Just to name a few!

Absolutely! During pregnancy, a women’s body goes through some pretty dramatic changes that can create stress along the spine. If the spine was already stressed before pregnancy, chances are it will intensify during the pregnancy. Great care is taken to be sure that both the mother and her baby are safe when performing an adjustment. We utilize special adjusting tables with different modifications to give the most gentle and accurate adjustment up to the time of delivery.

Unfortunately, most people associate a “popping” or “cracking” noise as being on the same level as an adjustment. Certainly, If you rotate your spine hard enough you will likely create a loud noise! However, this in no way constitutes an adjustment and may prove to be more harmful than good!

Adjustments are specific! For instance, the Gonstead technique utilizes a listing system that helps the doctor determine how the misalignment is occurring and the best way to make the correction.

It’s important to adjust the bone in the proper direction in accordance to how the bone is misaligned. It’s of even greater importance that the adjustment reduces and eventually eliminates nerve pressure and restores vital nerve function.

Sciatica often presents itself as pain down one leg or both. Oftentimes, the pain may travel all the way to the foot. Typically, when there is misaligned bone (subluxation) in the spine, this will induce an inflammatory response in the disc that can potentially irritate the spinal nerves…in this case, the nerves that travel down the leg.

With a proper analysis, the doctor can specifically determine how a vertebrae has misaligned and where the nerve pressure is being affected. This information is then used to determine the best approach to restoring proper position and motion of the subluxated vertebrae that may be affecting, in this case, the sciatic nerve.

Chiropractors take x-rays to see the internal condition of the spine. X-rays also reveal if there are any underlying spinal disorders, such as arthritis of the spine, abnormal development, disc disorders, bone spurs, and spinal deterioration.

Having an x-ray taken before any adjustment helps chiropractors make a correct diagnosis. Combining x-rays with other exams will benefit the patient ultimately.
