Here at Goshen Family Chiropractic, we are proud to take a more holistic approach to health and wellness. However, we also understand that many who are new to the world of chiropractic care and holistic health may not know much about these subjects and the role they play in reaching their own pain management, health, and wellness goals. So, what is holistic health in the first place, and what role does chiropractic care play in both holistic health and pain management?
What is Holistic Health?
While Western medicine has historically focused solely on physical health, with mental health becoming a more mainstream issue in recent years, it has already become clear to many that both mental health and physical health are connected to and affect each other. This is where the idea of holistic health comes in.
Holistic health is an approach to health built on the idea that overall health and well-being are the result of multiple interconnected variables, including physical, mental, spiritual, intellectual, and social health.
One of the best examples of how interconnected these aspects of health are is stress. Stress can be caused by anything from a lack of close relationships to being stuck in a job you do not like. While this stress may be coming from the social, intellectual, or spiritual aspects of your life, it can also negatively affect your mental health, which can, in turn, cause physical symptoms to appear.
While you could go to a doctor and treat these physical symptoms, a doctor approaching the problem holistically will not want to simply mask the problem with medication. Instead, they will look at the mind, body, and spirit as an interconnected whole to figure out that the root cause of these symptoms is stress-related and not a physical ailment so that they can more effectively treat the issue.
The Role of Chiropractic Care in Holistic Health
As you now know, holistic health is all about looking at the whole picture and considering how interconnected systems in your body and mind affect each other. Because of this, chiropractic can play a significant role in achieving your holistic health goals.
Chiropractic care focuses on manipulating the spine and musculoskeletal system to help improve mobility and relieve pain. These can significantly impact other aspects of life, including mental health and overall well-being.
At the end of the day, chiropractic care is not a one-stop solution for meeting your holistic health goals but it can play a big part that compounds and makes achieving those goals much easier.
The Role of Chiropractic Care in Pain Management
Pain management is the most common reason patients seek chiropractic care, and for good reason. Chiropractic adjustments, physiotherapy, and other common chiropractic techniques have proven incredibly effective at helping patients manage and treat their acute and chronic pain.
Many doctors are incredibly quick to prescribe painkillers and other potentially harmful medications to cover up the pain, but again, this only masks the issue and does not address the root cause of the problem. Chiropractic care, on the other hand, provides a much healthier and more natural alternative to medication that more effectively treats the issue, giving it an essential role in long-lasting pain relief and management.
