The Benefits of Chiropractic Care

"Spinal manipulation and chiropractic care are generally considered safe, effective treatments for acute low back pain, the type of sudden injury that results from moving furniture or getting tackled. . . Research has also shown chiropractic care to be helpful in treating neck pain and headaches. In addition, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia may respond to the moderate pressure used both by chiropractors . . ." WebMD


Let’s Look at Chiropractic Care & the Benefits . . .

imageChiropractic spine care can make a big difference in your wellness! Some of the obvious benefits of seeing a good chiropractor include pain relief in your joints, neck, back, or head. Other maybe not so obvious benefits include increased mobility, performance, balance, coordination and energy.

Chiropractic care corrects “subluxations,” which are mechanical problems in your spine, which in turn can place pressure on the nerves. Since your nervous system controls all functions of your body, including the immune system, chiropractic care can have a positive effect on keeping you healthy and energized.

Even if you’re not sick, your body still may be acquiring subluxations that are interfering with your nervous system and keeping you from optimal health. Regular chiropractic check-ups can help you to maintain a healthy immune system and stave off illnesses or allergies. Chiropractic adjustments will restore the balance of your nervous system and restore the flow of energy through your body.

Of course subluxations can also be caused by serious trauma like sports injuries and car accidents, but they also happen from stress, work activities, repetitive motions, and poor posture.

While most people seek chiropractic treatment for back and neck pain, other conditions that can be helped include headaches, arm and leg pain or numbness, vertigo, and just about any type of joint dysfunction. Some people get regular chiropractic treatments just to feel better, think clearer and maintain optimum health.

If you notice any of these issues, you should always think about seeing your chiropractor first, before you begin taking medications which simply cover up your symptoms rather than correct the cause of your problem. A lot of times a few simple ‘adjustments’ by a chiropractor can save you a lot of wasted time and money with other forms of treatment.

If you’re not already incorporating chiropractic care in your wellness routine, now is the time to integrate it into your health program and start feeling the difference!

Had great 1st appointment. The chiropractor was very knowledgeable and provided great adjustment. I will be returning. – Elizabeth Benzinger, October, 2020, Google Reviews

I was so thrilled to find an old-school, hands-on chiropractor near me and such a good one! I've tried several of the new version of chiropractors but it's nothing like real adjustments. After just a few visits with Dr. Vancho I was back to normal. What a RELIEF! Highly recommend. – Barbara Grant, Post Falls 2020

The most knowledgeable 'bone Dr.' anywhere. Will listen and explain the options best for you, even if it's another Dr. Very trustworthy. He has more experience and credentials than anyone around. The best! – James Franklin, April 2020, Google Reviews

I began seeing Dr. Vancho many years ago when my job required frequent heavy lifting. I recently did something careless and found myself with a pinched nerve in my neck. The pain down my arm was unbearable. As usual he saved the day and I am on the road to recovery. Dr. Vancho is patient and listens when you talk to him. I would highly recommend visiting his office anytime you find yourself suffering a neck, back, sciatic or other pinched nerve related issue. Thank You Dr. Vancho! – KM, Feb 2020, Google Reviews

Dr. Vancho is an amazing chiropractor. Not only does he correct back issues, he found a fracture in my foot, when other... Ortho doctors couldn't find. He saved my foot. His persistence and genuine care is a rare quality in the medical field. –  June 8, 2014, RateMDs Website

A great guy to see if you need to be adjusted! Dr. Vancho knows how to make you feel better! Wouldn't go anywhere else.  – Sue L., Coeur d'Alene, July 2, 2012 Yelp

Greatly improved my back pain after just 2 visits. He is a little odd, but very nice, helpful and knows exactly what he is doing. The girl at the front desk answered all of my questions about my insurance and told me up front what the cost per visit would be. Honestly, I would have paid him anything! – Nov 9, 2010 RateMDs Website
