Structural vs. Conventional Chiropractic

Traditional Chiropractic focuses on goals such as decreasing muscle spasms, increasing range of motion, and the temporary reduction of pain. This is how most chiropractors practice and most of them do a great job. However, it falls under the category of symptom relief/symptom management aka “band-aid” care.

At Northside Chiropractic, our focus is on Structural Corrections. As a leading chiropractic clinic specializing in traditional chiropractic care, we prioritize using unique chiropractic techniques to cater to your needs.

Think of your spine as the foundation for a building, akin to how a traditional chiropractor would view the nervous system. If the foundation was off, would you expect the floors to creak, the walls to crack, and for the windows to not close properly? Just like how different types of chiropractic approaches focus on various areas, our based chiropractic approach emphasizes this foundational concept.

Now, you can spend time patching all the damage using manual therapy or other methods, but you would be doing so with the expectation that, with chiropractic adjustments, the problems might reduce. However, without the right chiropractic treatment, these issues will have to be repaired again and again.

Structural Chiropractic, a unique approach to health, looks for the underlying shifts in the spine that might be causing your foundation to be off. Our tailored treatment plans are designed to reduce pain and address these shifts. In the vast majority of cases that make their way to our practice, there is a significant Structural Shift. These Structural Shifts are the underlying cause that often reveal themselves as “symptoms”- or what we refer to as Secondary conditions.
