ABOUT CHIROPRACTIC What is Chiropractic? Chiropractors reduce a serious interference in your life-vertebral subluxations-which prevent you from functioning at your best. When free of subluxations, misaligned spinal bones, you are more balanced and have less stress on your nerve system. Since your nerve system coordinates and controls every tissue, cell, and organ in your body, it is important to make sure that it is working at it's optimum. Less nerve interference and reduced subluxations allows you to better tune in to your inner resources of life, health, and healing. In essence, chiropractic releases the life force within the body so it can work at 100% of its potential. How Does Chiropractic Work? Chiropractic works with the integrity of the nerve system. The brain communicates to every part of the body via the nerve system. Likewise, the body sends feedback back to the brain. The brain, spinal cord, and spinal nerves are protected by the skull, and 24 moveable spinal bones called vertebrae. All systems, functions and organs depend on a healthy nerve system. What is a Subluxation? A subluxation is when the spinal vertebrae become misaligned and interfere with the nerve system function. Subluxations are caused by stress to the spine. This disruption in communication between the brain and body creates dis-ease within the body. Subluxations can occur from physical, emotional and chemical stresses such as the birth process, poor diet, poor posture, emotional strain, car wrecks, etc. Our unnatural environment and lifestyle overwhelms our bodies causing them to adapt to a sickly, dis-eased state. Getting adjusted breaks that pattern to allow you and your family to experience a fuller expression of harmony called life. What Do Chiropractors Do? Chiropractors assist the body in removing subluxations so the cycle of communication between the brain and body is complete. This creates harmony and ease within the body. Why Chiropractic? We are either moving toward greater life expression/health or away from it. We are never static. A person can be moving away from greater life expression/health for many years with little or no associated symptoms. When symptoms or illness does arise, most people do not realize that the degenerative process has been going on for years. If your nerve system does not work correctly then you will never be all you could be physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually. The goal maintained in our office is to help keep people as close to the 100% life/health pole as possible. Who Needs Chiropractic? EVERYONE! The fact of the matter is that most people have been subluxated since birth. From the day you are born to the day you die your spine should be checked for subluxations. Subluxations can occur from physical, emotional and chemical stresses such as the birth process, poor diet, poor posture, emotional strain, car wrecks, etc. Our unnatural environment and lifestyle overwhelms our bodies causing them to adapt to a sickly, dis-eased state. Getting adjusted breaks that pattern to allow you and your family to experience a fuller expression of harmony called life.
