When pain, illness, or a general feeling of being unwell are plaguing your life, working with a holistic doctor like Dr. Cynthia Ochi in Wading River, NY, can be the solution you need.
Chiropractic Care: A Holistic Approach to Health, Wellness, and Relief
One of the most beneficial things about chiropractic care is the holistic approach it offers. If you’re like many people, though, you’re likely wondering what this means. Dr. Ochi and her team in Wading River, NY, explain what working with a holistic doctor means in the guide below.
What Is a “Holistic” Approach?
Cooking a meal requires several ingredients and steps. Getting ready for work requires getting dressed, gathering your things, traveling, and more. Even brushing your teeth is a multi-step process.
With each of these activities, if anything is missing or skipped, the rest of the process isn’t going to work out well. Imagine, for example, that you forget to put your shoes on before leaving, or you are out of toothpaste. Each step and factor must be in line for your activities to be successful. Why would treating your body be any different?
The human body isn’t just one system but several different systems. And they aren’t all physical. They are also emotional, spiritual, social, and more – all of which can impact your physical systems. If you are in pain or not in good health, chances are high that more than one of these systems and factors is the root.
The Role of Holistic Care
Holistic doctors understand that there are many different aspects of health and wellness and that each of them can impact the rest. Instead of focusing only on the area that the pain or symptoms seem to be coming from, they work to address the whole person and all systems that are at play.
Care typically begins with a combination of diagnostic testing and listening to the patient’s complaints, concerns, and information about their lifestyle. This information is combined with any diagnostic testing to develop a treatment plan. As holistic treatment is customized to the individual, the techniques can vary. However, some techniques offered by our team include:
- Advanced gentle spinal corrections
- Therapeutic exercises
- Soft tissue therapy, such as myofascial release, electrical stimulation, and ultrasound therapy
- Lifestyle and nutritional counseling
These and other techniques can be combined to ensure a personalized journey to health and wellness.
