FAQs

Common FAQs About Holistic Therapies

How do holistic therapies complement traditional chiropractic care?

While chiropractic adjustments address structural alignment and nervous system function, holistic therapies address the broader factors that influence your health and healing. Nutritional support reduces inflammation and provides the building blocks for tissue repair. Stress management techniques help reduce muscle tension and support nervous system balance. Lifestyle modifications address the root causes that may have contributed to your condition. Together, these approaches create a more comprehensive healing environment, often resulting in faster and more complete recovery.

Many patients report feeling some improvements, such as better energy or reduced stress, within the first few weeks of implementing holistic approaches. However, the timeline for more significant health changes varies depending on:

  • The nature and duration of your health concerns
  • Your current lifestyle and health habits
  • Your consistency in implementing recommendations
  • Your unique biochemistry and health history

During your consultation, Dr. Baddley will discuss realistic expectations based on your specific situation and develop a timeline for evaluating progress.

While we emphasize obtaining nutrients from whole foods whenever possible, targeted supplementation can be beneficial in certain circumstances:

  • Addressing specific nutritional deficiencies
  • Supporting increased nutritional needs during healing
  • Providing therapeutic doses of anti-inflammatory compounds
  • Compensating for dietary restrictions or food sensitivities

Any supplement recommendations are evidence-based, personalized to your needs, and regularly reassessed for continued relevance and effectiveness.
