Body Professor FAQs
How does Chiropractic work?
Our entire body is controlled through nerve impulses that regulate most of our body function. Think of nerves like an electrical wiring in the house or a car, and if there is a problem with a wire or a nerve then whatever that nerve or wire connects to will not function. Chiropractors are Doctors who trained to find that nerve and fix the problem usually with adjustment of the spine, because all nerves exit and enter the spine, just like a fuse box in the house or a car.
Can Chiropractor help my back pain?
Yes, Chiropractors specialize in back pain and help many people to have a full recovery. Also, chiropractors can help with back-related pain, such as leg or arm pains. Nerves that control our arms and legs all exit and enter the spine and if there is a problem with those nerves then it will cause pain in the back and legs or arms.
Can Chiropractors prescribe drugs?
Doctors of Chiropractic can not prescribe any pharmaceutical drugs. However, Chiropractors can prescribe natural forms of medicine such as homeopathics and treat patients with natural remedies such as vitamins, minerals, herbs, and others.
Can Chiropractic adjustment break your neck?
This question scares many patients, but to be clear, Chiropractic adjustments will not break your neck. The only bone that is commonly fractured by Chiropractors are ribs of geriatric patients and usually due to the underlying condition such as age-related osteoporosis.
How often should a person get a massage?
As often as possible, even everyday if you can afford it. Ideally, to get a massage at least every week, this will ensure that you are taking care of your muscles, tendons, joints and lymphatic system.
What will happen if you get a massage everyday?
Getting massages everyday will only benefit your body. Most professional massage therapists will alter their techniques for that patient. It’s almost like working out in the gym on different parts of your body everyday.
What is the difference between full body and foot massage places?
Most of the foot massage places perform a one type of technique called acupressure, and its designed to concentrate on feet and hands. Full body massage often incorporates many techniques in one and performed on the entire body except private, personal areas.
What is Aura?
Aura is the electromagnetic field that is radiated from our body and can be detected with aura cameras. There are many ways to interpret an aura from the different colors to layers. With modern technologies and new studies we are getting more information on aura colors and how they differ from others. One thing that scientists agree on, is that all living things on Earth including our own planet have an electromagnetic field that surrounds their physical body.
Is energy work safe?
Yes, only if it’s performed by a trained or licenced practitioner. Just like any healing art, you must possess the knowledge and a right to practice, otherwise both people who are getting worked on or performing a healing art can do harm.
Does Chiropractic adjustment really work?
Short answer Yes. There are numerous studies and testimonials about positive effects from Chiropractic adjustments. People often say that Chiropractic care saved their life. Many people find themselves in so much back or neck pain that their life becomes miserable. Severe pain can make a person unable to work, to do daily living things like put on your shoes or even get up from your bed. Chiropractors have helped many patients to overcome back pain and get their life back.
Is Chiropractic the same as Osteopath?
No, both professions are licensed Doctors, but they have different education and ways of treating patients. Both Doctors do perform manual adjustments and have some similarities, but they are different.
Can Chiropractors hurt patients?
Doctors of Chiropractic by statistics have a very low number of cases where patients get injured. You are more likely to have side effects from adjustments such a soreness, that usually goes away in a day or so.
Can Chiropractic adjustment cause stroke?
Chiropractic adjustment itself does not cause stroke. Most people who have a stroke after they have seen a Chiropractor are people who had underlying conditions, such as clogged arteries, or atherosclerosis or other cardiovascular conditions. Only adjustments that need to be avoided if you have those conditions are your neck.
Is it normal for some people to get aroused during a massage?
This is considered normal, however there is no sexual contact or conduct during professional massage. During massage many people release tension that they hold in their body and the relaxation often brings on the aroused feelings and this goes both for men and women.
Can massage therapist hurt a person?
If you are receiving a massage from an unprofessional and not trained person, then a massage could hurt you. Professional massage should only be performed by a licensed or certified massage therapist.
What is human Energy?
Human energy is something that is measurable and described as metabolism of the human body cells. Human body is made from atoms, cells, tissues and systems that work together and are governed by a process called homeostasis in order to keep one alive. Science can measure this process and apply it as human body energy consumption or production.
Is all energy work the same?
No, many practices work with human energy such as cosmoenergy, reiki, meditation practices, and massage. However, some practices restore full-body, others just a certain organ or tissue.
Why do you need energy work?
Our body consists of physical, mental and informational bodies and energy work balances the harmony and all processes that involve all three bodies. If one of the three bodies becomes less active or overactive, then imbalance happens and it reflects on the person’s physical, mental or informational body.
