But in the meantime, here's some information on what chiropractic care is and what it can do for you. Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that your nervous system controls every cell, tissue, organ and system in your body. Your nervous system consists of your brain, spinal cord and millions of nerves. Your brain is protected by the skull, your spinal cord, and by the 24 moving bones of the spine.
Many everyday activities can cause these spinal bones to lose their normal position or motion. Specific chiropractic adjustments will help return individual spinal bones to their proper motion and position.

High school, college and professional athletes are increasingly turning to chiropractic care to help them relieve pain and stay fit.
Many athletes in the Columbus area seek chiropractic care on their own initiative.
However, there is a growing trend for schools and professional teams to either have a direct relationship with a chiropractic physician or have one on their medical staff.
Being a former high school and college athlete, I have a tremendous respect for the trainers, physical therapists and orthopedists that I have seen and worked with over the years.

Value: Heat application helps relax tight muscles, and increases blood flow and nutrition to the area, which can help speed healing once the initial inflammation has subsided.
It also helps the muscles and tendons respond better to being stretched and exercised.
This treatment should feel like a gentle warmth, never hot or burning.
Home Application: If you use heat application at home, a treatment time of 20 minutes (no longer) is recommended.
Leave the heat off for an hour or so between treatments.

The use of cold in therapy, or cryotherapy, is often applied to a new injury or a recently re-injured old injury to decrease pain, muscle spasm, and swelling.
Ice slows blood flow to the injured area and minimizes damage done by interrupted circulation.
Ice is the safest and most effective way of treating sprains, strains, muscle spasm, and bruises.
Health care practitioners frequently prescribe ice for a wide range of muscle and joint complaints.
The first time you apply ice, it can be very uncomfortable, but each treatment will get easier and easier as you get used to the ice application.

What should I use for my pain, heat or ice?
This is one of the more common questions I hear from patients with acute or chronic pain.
Here is some of the latest research and methods on using heat and ice from the Journal of Rehabilitation and Physical Medicine.
Ice or cold therapy is used immediately and up to 72 hours following a new injury.
Cold therapy causes a decrease in blood circulation to the injured area reducing the amount of swelling.
It also decreases muscle spasms and is used during sporting events to stop muscle cramping in the athlete.
