What is Chiropractic?
*noninvasive, emphasizes patient's inherent recuperative abilities
*recognizes dynamics between lifestyle, environment, and health
*emphasizes understanding the cause of illness in an effort to eradicate, rather than palliate, associated symptoms
*balances the benefits against the risks of clinical interventions
*recognizes as imperative the need to monitor progress and effectiveness through appropriate diagnostic procedures
*emphasizes a patient-centered, hands-on approach intent on influencing function through structure
*strives toward early intervention, emphasizing timely diagnosis and treatment of functional, reversible conditions
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture treats the human body as a whole that involves several "systems of function" that are in some cases loosely associated with physical organs. Disease is understood as a loss of balance between the yin and yang energies, which bears some resemblance to homeostatis among the several systems of function, and treatment of disease is attempted by modifying the activity of one or more systems of function through the activity of needles, pressure, heat, etc. on "acupuncture points."
Acupuncture has been effectively used for the treatment of back pain, headache, migraine, and sports injuries. However, acupuncture provides more than pain relief. It is helpful in treating anxiety, insomnia, digestive problems, abdominal, menstrual cramps, weight control, infertility and much more.
The theory behind Dr.Yamane's treatments.
Dr. Yamane`s treatments are based on the theories of Wolff`s Law. Wolff`s Law was developed by the German Anatomist/Surgeon Julius Wolff in 1892. Wolff`s Law states that mechanical stress is responsible for determining the architecture of bone. Remodeling of bone occurs in response to physical stresses---or the lack of them---in that bone is deposited in sites subjected to stress and is reabsorbed from sites where there is little stress. Dr. Yamane combines Wolff`s Law with Fukada and Yasuda`s discovery in 1957 that bone has a piezoelectric property. Piezoelectricity is the ability of some materials to generate an electric potential in response to applied mechanical stress. Because bone has a piezoelectric property, applied pressure to the bone will cause an electric potential between the compressed and the stretched side of the bone. This causes the bone to become deformed and thus the need for chiropractic treatments. Dr. Yamane has used the knowledge of these two findings to create a treatment process that emphasizes exercise of the affected areas instead of the typically recommended rest. By exercising and exerting pressure on these areas, the bone can be remodeled and straightened out.
