Dr. Robert P. Gagnon D.C. Doctor of Chiropractic Philosophy on Health: I quote Thomas Edison who said “The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will instruct his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease”. The human body has the innate and extraordinary capacity to remain healthy or regain health if it is compromised, but it takes the patient’s ongoing commitment to a healthy lifestyle which includes diet, exercise, rest and proper mental attitude. Most importantly, the nervous system and body have to function at peak potential. This is where chiropractic care is essential for the following reasons: The spine acts as movable protective armor for the delicate spinal cord. The spinal cord is like a nerve superhighway full of information flowing between the brain and the body; A VERTEBRAL SUBLUXATION is a dysfunctional area in the spine that negatively affects health and wellbeing due to its influence on the nervous system; and The Chiropractic Adjustment corrects this dysfunction in order to restore healthy function of the spine and nervous system. This in turn enables the body to function at its optimal potential and greatest expression of health.

It's great that you're considering chiropractic care for various conditions. Chiropractors can indeed provide treatments to address neuromusculoskeletal issues, including those related to scoliosis, hip and pelvis pain, and shoulder arthritis. However, it's important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional, such as a local chiropractor, to determine the most appropriate treatment approach for your specific situation.

For scoliosis, chiropractic care may involve spinal adjustments and exercises aimed at improving posture and reducing spinal curvature. A chiropractor can assess the severity of scoliosis and provide appropriate treatment recommendations.

In the case of hip and pelvis pain, chiropractors can assess the underlying cause of the pain and provide treatments such as spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, exercises, and other modalities to alleviate symptoms and promote healing.

Regarding shoulder arthritis, chiropractors may offer non-surgical treatment options to help manage the condition. These options can include rest, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs), chiropractic adjustments to improve range of motion, corticosteroid injections, and heat/cold therapy. However, the specific treatment plan would depend on the individual's condition and should be discussed with a chiropractor.

Remember, while chiropractic care can be beneficial for many individuals, it's important to have a thorough evaluation by a qualified healthcare professional to ensure that the treatments are appropriate for your specific needs. Consulting with a local chiropractor would allow you to discuss your condition in detail and determine the best course of action.
