The focus of traditional health care is on germs and blood. Chiropractic is different, it produces results by helping your nervous system work the way it should. It's a scientific fact that your brain, spinal cord and the rest of your nerves control every aspect of your body. Hinder the vital nerve links between your brain and your body, and ill health can result. A common source of interference comes from the moving bones that encase the "information superhighway" of your spinal cord.
You have more than 200 bones in your body. Whenever two bones come together at a joint, there can be movement. Since joints in your spine are so close to your spinal cord and nerve roots, too much or too little joint motion can have serious effects. If spinal bones get "stuck" and don't move right, they can irritate or chafe delicate nerves. If a joint moves too much, spinal bones can press against adjacent nerve tissue. This can interfere with the vital "life force" transmitted over your nervous system that helps keep your brain in touch with your body.
The result is the vertebral subluxation misalignment, or more simply, a subluxation. There are three basic causes of subluxations. Physical causes include slips and falls, accidents, repetitive motions and improper lifting. Stress, anger and fear are examples of emotional causes of subluxations. Alcohol, drugs, pollution and poor diet can be chemical causes of subluxations.
These subluxations can produce a variety of health problems. Nerve pressure can cause weakness, numbness or the under-performance of organs and tissues. The chafing and irritation of a spinal misalignment can distort nerve messages between your body and your brain. The result? Hyperactive organ function, high blood pressure or even pain.
The medical approach puts chemicals into your bloodstream to change the way your body works. Laxatives to speed up elimination. Antacids to reduce stomach acid. Besides the side effects, possible kidney damage and the fatal mistakes, drugs often ignore the real cause of the problem. Instead, the focus of chiropractic care is on the integrity of your nervous system.
A thorough examination including a computerized spinal scan helps locate areas of nervous system compromise. The moving bones of the spine are common culprits. Then, specific chiropractic adjustments help reduce these interferences. The intent is to restore your body's ability to regulate and heal itself. Without drugs, without surgery. Chiropractic has helped millions enjoy relief and better health for more than a century!
Our Purpose
The spinal cord carries every message from the brain to the body and from the body to the brain. If these messages are interfered with...
- You would not be able to hear, see, feel, speak or smell.
- Your heart would not beat.
- Your lungs could not breathe.
- Your body would not heal.
- Your immune system would not work.
- Your could not express life.
Therefore, our purpose is to reduce vertebral subluxations which interfere with these vital messages.
