One of the best ways to ensure a child’s healthy growth is by seeing them through chiropractic care. Our chiropractors are trained in how every individual body works and adjusts accordingly with each patient, so it doesn’t matter what age you’re at when visiting for your checkup. With our knowledge on bone development during childhood years, we can help determine whether or not there may have been any trauma that has caused lasting damage or may present during future growth spurts. This type of treatment also helps kids maintain good posture throughout life.
Chiropractors are not medical doctors, but they have extensive training in the field of chiropractic care and are licensed practitioners. Chiropractors begin their education by getting an undergraduate degree with a focus on science before going to school for four more years to earn a Doctor of Chiropractor Medicine (DCM) or D.C., which is equivalent to other doctorate degrees such as M.D. or Phd., before finally being licensed by the state board.
Doctors of chiropractic care have a unique, holistic approach to healthcare. They are trained in the art and science of finding balance within your body’s system. These professional healthcare providers put the needs of their clients first by providing proper health support through diagnosis, evaluation and treatment with emphasis placed on wellness rather than illness.
In contrast to the medical doctor, who looks at diseases with a scientific perspective and tends towards laboratory-based research methods, chiropractors are holistic in their approach by focusing on the person as well. A chiropractor’s ultimate goal is not just disease relief but prevention of future incidents through increased wellness. A chiropractor hones in on the person themselves, not just what they have or don’t have.
Finding the right chiropractor is essential to your success. You must be comfortable with your doctor and the entire staff, as well as the treatments they offer. Start by asking relatives, co-workers or friends for recommendations.
After gathering names, research the Chiropractor’s credentials and consider their experience. For Clarendon Chiropractic, we are led by Dr. Surrusco, a functional medicine doctor who completed his premed undergraduate studies at Bloomfield College in New Jersey and received his Bachelor of Science Degree and his Doctorate Degree in Chiropractic from the National College of Chiropractic in Lombard, IL, (now called the National University of Health Sciences).
Dr. Surrusco has also been awarded the designation of Creating Wellness Professional after he completed advanced training in 2008, and was awarded the recognition of Certified Gluten Practitioner in 2009. He has studied functional medicine for the last 20 years and continues to be at the forefront of integrative and functional medicine. As a result, he is recognized as one of the best chiropractic functional medicine doctors in Downers Grove, DuPage County and the surrounding area.
