The Wilmington Chiropractor to see - Chiropractor Wilmington

About Demetrious Specific Chiropractic in Wilmington

On September 18, 1895 the Chiropractic profession was founded by Dr. David Daniel Palmer. He gave Harvey Lillard the first spinal adjustment to the second cervical vertebra, and after 17 years of deafness Harvey Lillard's hearing was restored. A miraculous day for Harvey Lillard, and a monumental day for humans and the practice of nonallopathic, non surgical healthcare, Chiropractic care.

On September 18, 1995, on the 100 Year Anniversary of the Chiropractic profession my family and I opened the doors to our office. The day was very significant for my family as it was the culmination of 10 years of education to earn a Doctorate in Chiropractic. Since then I have served Southeastern North Carolina with pride committing myself to providing exceptional quality Chiropractic healthcare.

In order to start to solve your health problem we must first understand it. Over the past 14 years of caring for patients I have developed and refined advanced diagnostic skills and use advanced technology to define your condition. Understanding the cause of your health problem is my first priority. Once we understand your condition we can get to work to try and solve or improve your condition.

The basis of Chiropractic healthcare is built on the foundation that the Nervous System controls and coordinates all functions of the body. If the nervous system is in a state of dis-ease then what is being controlled by that portion of the nervous system will be at dis-ease. Our theory proposes that restoring the function of the nervous system can optimize your return to health. There are other conditions that can affect your health that do not involve nerve system dysfunction such as muscle, tendon, ligament and joint injuries. Chiropractors through advanced education and training are uniquely qualified to care for these conditions.

There are two phases to our healthcare model.

1. Relief Phase:

In order to start to solve your health problem we must first understand it.

Most people who seek care in our office have one goal: relief. So that’s where we start! During this initial stage of intensive care, we have several obligations:

• Uncover the underlying cause of the health problem
• Suggest a care plan to produce the fastest results possible
• Offer ways patients can participate in their recovery

2. Functional Restoration and Wellness Phase:

Dysfunctional tissue whether it is nerve system or other structures are usually the root of the pain or symptoms. Restoring function allows for a more permanent solution to your problem. While not all problems are completely restorable, optimizing the surrounding structures can have a profound effect on stability and longevity of the correction.

We encourage our patients to achieve the highest levels of health they can. Through educational opportunities (like this website), we hope to communicate the value of ongoing chiropractic care. Our desire is to see our practice members abandon the prevailing sickness care model of health (waiting for symptoms and then taking action), in favor of the emerging functional neurological wellness model.

Regardless of your health goals, please understand that we see ourselves as mere servants. You’re the boss! It’s your body, your health and your future. Our job is to offer you the finest chiropractic care possible, and it’s up to you to decide how much of it you want.
