Central Connecticut Chiropractic

Central Connecticut Chiropractic is a Cheshire Chiropractic service run by Dr. Luigi DiRubba. Once you log on to this site, you will discover the answers to virtually every question you may have thought of regarding the science of chiropractic medicine – and possibly a few you haven’t.

 

Contrary to popular belief, chiropractic medicine isn’t just about backaches, though it certainly can be used to treat them. In fact, chiropractic is used in the treatment of allergies, asthma, carpal tunnel syndrome, ear infections, stress and even ADHD. It’s even used to treat children’s bedwetting and colicky babies. Dr. DiRubba’s website has extensive information on many diverse conditions which respond well to chiropractic treatment.

One of the great advantages of chiropractic medicine is that it is non-invasive and is completely free of the side effects and possible chemical interactions of traditional medicine. For example, ADHD is normally treated as a behavioural disorder, and the traditional treatment is to administer scheduled doses of methylphenidate (marketed as Ritalin®). This is a powerful (and expensive) drug, chemically related to amphetamines and cocaine that can cause loss of appetite, lethargy and irritability. Dr. Luigi DiRubba has found that many symptoms of ADHD are caused by distortions of the spinal cord and upper neck that result in nervous tension.

 

Chiropractic medicine is essentially study and treatment of the nervous system and how it facilitates communication between the brain and the various organs of the body. Since virtually all of these signals travel along the spinal chord, spinal health is the main focus of chiropractic. It differs from traditional medical treatments that rely of drugs entering the bloodstream, targeting individual body parts. Chiropractic on the other hand treats the entire body as a whole by targeting subluxations – interference between the brain and the rest of the body – within the nervous system. Instead of drugs, chiropractic doctors relay on adjustments to address these interferences. Dr. DiRubba uses multiple techniques that involve the hands or special equipment. Most of the web pages have a “Frequently Asked Questions” section that clarify the most common concerns of patients.

 

One of the most useful features of this website is the link, “Could Chiropractic Help You?” This link leads to descriptions (complete with photographs) of numerous simple tests that prospective patients can perform at home to help determine whether or not chiropractic treatment is right for them.

 

One can also find an extensive glossary of terms used in chiropractic, helping the prospective patient to be more knowledgeable prior to the initial consultation, as well as arranging that first consultation and determining health goals. One weakness of this website is a serious of links that include a video, how to support chiropractic medicine, staying healthy for less and more effectively, among other vital topics. Unfortunately, these links are restricted to current patients and require a log-in user name and password. Other than that, Central Connecticut Chiropractic website is one of the most useful ones for anyone who has considered this health care option.
