Chiropractor is a doctor who practices “chiropractic.” When accidents like falls, tension, over-exertion or other injuring mechanism takes place, the result end of this mostly is the inability of the spine to compensate in minor displacement or rearrangement of one or more vertebrae, creating irritation to the spinal nerve roots directly by pressures or indirectly through reflexes requiring you to see a chiropractor.

These people are trained health professionals who use a variety of non-surgical treatment such as spinal treatment, manipulation, direction and mobilization, to treat patient who suffers from:

Lower Back Pain
Repetitive Strains
Neck Pain
Sports Injuries
Headaches
Car Accident Injuries
Arthritic Pain

-Although chiropractors are focusing on treating ‘neuromusculoskeletal disorders’, they not are only exclusively limited to such problems with the nervous system and musculoskeletal system.

-In North America after medical doctors and dentists, chiropractors are the 3rd largest group of health care providers.

Chiropractors, Massage Therapist, Physiotherapist

Massage Therapist	3 years of training	Focus on myofascial release
Physiotherapist	About 4-6 years of training	Use electrical modalities and exercise rehab. Utilized for specific injury or chronic muscle imbalance leading to pain.
Chiropractors	7-8 of intense training	Utilizes joint manipulation and soft tissue therapy. They are more holistic in their approach to health problems especially in the way the spine and nervous system relate to over-all health.

Chiropractors work closely with physiotherapist and massage therapists to medicate many of the same problems. Chiropractors’ undergone intense training to properly diagnose and recommend medication and treatment plans to patients. Often chiropractors may refer a patient to a massage therapist or physiotherapist depending on the nature of the problem.

It is very important that a patient must have a proper diagnosis to make sure that the health problem receives correct treatment. An example, an old man in his early 5o’s comes with a back pain, the findings could be caused by muscle and joints, or it is a prostate cancer, an abdominal aneurism, or a spinal infection. It is chiropractor’s responsibility is to screen patients and recommend the proper treatment or further evaluation if needed.

Famous Chiropractor in Cebu

After marrying a beautiful woman(Cebuana) Dr. James Pardis also known as ‘Doc’ moved in Cebu in 1998, Doc found himself serving another set of people in different country with totally different culture.

Dr. James Pardis had been medicating and treating patients for almost 20 years in the state of Montana, in the United States of America, with the specialization in treating of neck and back problems.

Considering that Chiropractic is not very well known treatment in Cebu or perhaps in the whole country before, the doctor chose carefully the location where he would set up his clinic. Eventually the couple found a good place where in he can build his chiropractic clinic in Ayala Center Cebu, with a lot of shoppers and mall goers.

-Dr. Pardis invested over a million pesos to setup the clinic and the apparatus needed that he will use to treat patients.

Though chiropractic was not widely practiced and was not even included in any courses in the formal Philippines Education System, Dr. Pardis was surprised that Filipino is very open to embrace the alternative treatment he was offering.

Over the years Dr. Pardis has already gathered over 6,000 patients which includes Filipinos and foreigners whose visiting the country — Americans, Europeans, Aussies, Japanese, Koreans and many other foreigners.

Though the Doctor had encountered challenges in his profession as the only Chiropractic doctor practitioner in Cebu, In spite of that he finds such cases especially rewarding and always finds it a great joy to help his patients.

Chiropractic Work in the Philippines

BRIEF HISTORY OF CHIROPRACTIC

It was in 1895 when Daniel David Palmer had performed the first chiropractic

D.D. Palmer Performing Chiropractic Treatment

work in the United States. He was the founder of this “unlicensed” practice and was even put to jail together with other chiropractors during his time. His ideals were pursued by his son, Bartlett Joshua Palmer, including the School of Chiropractic, which he founded. B.J. Palmer started to make use of machines such as x-rays with chiropractic and this paved a way for the divide in chiropractic work. The groups were called the “mixers” – practicing spinal correction with other treatments – and the “straights” – those who rely on spinal correction alone.

For most its existence in the medical field, chiropractic battled its success against conventional medicine and of course against erotic massage parlors in the Philippines. It has been called a “pseudoscientific cult” by the American Medical Association until 1987. In the mid 1990’s, there had been a growth in public interest towards this kind of practice. The efforts from the people helped in enhancing the quality of service and made a way for developing clinical guidelines towards this practice. The term “subluxation” was coined by the chiropractors’ that indicates an interference in the innate intelligence of our body which primarily causes the pain or illness we experience.

HOW DOES CHIROPRACTIC WORKS? HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM MAINSTREAM MEDICINE?

Chiropractic challenges mainstream medicine due to its natural ability to heal and treat abnormalities, illnesses without the use of drugs and surgery, not to mention it is also technically a non-invasive treatment. Chiropractors focus in taking care of the spine as it is believed that our body is basically controlled by one entity – our nervous system – and it is protected by the spine and the skull.

How Chiropractic Works

In this method the doctors of chiropractic work concentrate on the source of the problem, unlike medical doctors, who basically treat symptoms first before analyzing its source. The effectivity of the practice of chiropractic doctors has been their foundation to flourish beyond the speculations of conventional medical doctors.

CHIROPRACTIC IN THE PHILIPPINES

As part of my chiropractic exploration, I’ve managed to come visit one of the countries catering this service. Upon visiting this beautiful country, I sought for the chiropractic centers and clinics that require cheaper fees for the service.

HOW DOES IT DIFFER FROM SERVICES IN OTHER COUNTRIES?

Chiropractic Work in the Philippines

Countries like the United States offer a more sophisticated and totally legal chiropractic services and thereby they require higher fees to maintain and develop their facilities. In the Philippines, chiropractic work is considered more or less legal, in such a way that it is accepted, however, not practiced by chiropractic doctors alone. In this day and age, more and more non-chiropractic doctors such as physical therapists and some masseuse or “hilot” also practice chiropractic works. Although this may cause some confusion to patients, these non-professionals can also perform chiropractic excellently. It takes a lot of research and studying to understand the scope chiropractic has and these people are very much dedicated to acquire the knowledge and skills they need. The service may be cheaper from other countries’ average fees but you’ll be guaranteed of great satisfaction thereafter.

With the legality of chiropractic in the Philippines still in question, patients should be aware of the legit places to go for this treatment. Some places that are completely illegal say that they offer chiropractic, acupuncture and massage, but what they really offer is commercial sex. This practice in the Philippines is not uncommon due to the people’s need to survive and to show a front of the type of service they really have inside. You’ll only get to acknowledge that these are sullied places when you are allowed inside. When you do, you’ll get to find sexy, seductive vixens that are waiting for your pick.

If and when you see and encounter such places, do not, however, conclude that all chiropractic clinics in the Philippines are all like this. Some, as those listed above can provide you the service that you really need in order to attain a healthy body.

What Type of Pain Reliever is Best for You?

Chiropractor Philippines — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 04:32:22 +0000

The American Academy of Pain Management estimates that 50 million Americans suffer from chronic pain caused by disease, disorder, or accident.

The most common?

* Arthritis* Lower Back Pain* Bone and Joint Pain* Muscle Pain* Fibromyalgia

A study called “Pain In America” resulted in astonishing results where 60% of those contacted stated that “pain is something you have to live with”, and 28% felt that there was simply no solution for their pain whatsoever.

“Listen to pain” is the advice of Doctor Scott Fisher, head of the Division of Pain Management at the University of California. “If we cover up pain all the time, we may miss an important signal”.

New techniques and medications are coming on stream several times a year for a variety of painful conditions, and you should keep in touch with your doctor to see if one is applicable to your particular painful situation. Much of the time, however, daily aches and pains can be relieved without running to your doctor. Some of these painful events may be the result of lack of exercise, playing your particular sports activity a little too aggressively, stress and tension associated with the trials and tribulations of day-to-day life, sitting at a desk for extended periods of time, shoes worn out and need replacing, and a myriad of other events that can cause your body to react in a painful manner.

Unfortunately, we tend to reach for one type of NSAID (nonsteriodal anti-inflammatory drugs) or another when pain strikes. These can be very effective, but according to Joseph Markinson, M.D. professor at Weill Medical College in New York City, “when people take ibuprofen, aspirin, ketoprofen, or naproxen sodium, they figure since those drugs are OTC they must be safe. As a result, they overdo them, or do not pay attention to interactions with other medications, While the benefits of these drugs are enormous and real, so too are the risks of gastrointestinal upset and bleeding.”

Dr. Markinson, suggests “start low and go slow.” He also suggests. “Don’t use aspirin as your first choice for pain relief. It is short-acting as far as pain goes, but long acting in its impact on platelets and blood coagulation, and has a greater risk of causing ulcers than ibuprofen, for example.”

You can protect yourself for ulcers related to NSAID’s, using a pure analgesic such as acetaminophen, which offers relief from headaches, muscle aches and fever, but does not cause GI bleeding. It poses little threat when taken as recommended, but liver toxicity is a risk if you drink alcohol, have liver disease, or are also taking an NSAID or any additional medicine that contains acetaminophen.

The biggest mistake people make is not to tell their doctor and/or pharmacist what prescriptions and non-prescription meds they take, to include any and all vitamin supplements. This can cause dire consequences to their good health and may include death.

When it comes to decisions about pain relief, says Dr. Fishman, you have to think about what makes sense for you and weigh individual risks and benefits: Is the pain affecting your quality of life? Do you need a pain reliever to run every day? Can you get rid of your headache some other way? Proceed cautiously. And don’t ignore pain, it’s trying to tell you something.
