The focus of traditional health care is on germs and blood. Chiropractic is different. The focus of chiropractic care is on the integrity of your nervous system. It’s a scientific fact that your brain, spinal cord and the rest of your nerves control every aspect of your body. A common source of interference comes from the moving bones (the vertebra) that encase your spinal cord. This is a condition known as vertebral subluxation and is caused by physical (slips, falls, car accidents, computer work, C-sections, etc.), chemical (toxins from foods, medicines, fumes and chemicals as well as lacking required nutrients) and emotional stressors. These subluxations can produce a variety of health problems.

Nerve pressure can cause numbness, weakness or the under-performance of organs and tissues. Spinal misalignment can cause nerve tissue to stretch, chafe or become irritated. This can distort nerve messages between your body and your brain resulting in: hyperactive or underactive organ function, high blood pressure or even pain.

A thorough examination helps locate areas of nervous system compromise. The moving bones of the spine are common culprits. Specific chiropractic adjustments help reduce these interferences. The chiropractic intent is to restore your body’s ability to regulate and heal itself, without drugs and without surgery.

Chiropractic is simple. It’s natural. It honors the wisdom of your body. And it has helped millions enjoy relief and better health for more than a century.

Who Can Chiropractic Help?

Chiropractic is for everyone. Many patients are given the impression that the only people suitable for chiropractic care are men and women who have headaches, low back pain or car accidents. Seniors are often thought of as having bones that have grown too brittle for chiropractic adjusting procedures. Children are thought to be too young to suffer from “bad backs”. When you understand that chiropractic is about the balance and health of your nerve supply and that vertebral subluxations are a condition that can impact the nervous system at any age, you can see that chiropractic is safe and effective for people of all ages including infants, children, teens, adults and the senior population.

Improved nerve communications between your brain and your body can help everyone.
