Chiropractic is a science, art, and philosophy of all things natural and has been around since 1895. Chiropractic is a healthcare discipline that emphasizes the inherent recuperative power of the body to heal itself and that it regulates all of your functions without the use of drugs or surgery.

As chiropractors, we know that this an innate natural ability and is pivotal to how you express health and life on a daily basis. Chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (primarily the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health.

Having optimal communication between your brain and your body, through your nervous system, is vital in all that you do whether you have to consciously think about it or not!

This brain-body connection through your nervous system is extremely important as to how you function, heal, adapt, and grow as a human being. If there is any interference in this communication, your body can not function optimally as it cannot relay the proper information for the optimal responses.

We locate if there is interference within your nervous system and your brain-body connection and correct it accordingly. We do this by analyzing the alignment and mobility spine which is one of the main structures that protects your nervous system.

This interference is called the subluxation. A subluxation is a misalignment or bio-mechanical malfunctioning of a vertebra (the bones of the spine), or joint of the body, that can cause disturbances and dysfunction in parts your nervous system. This can cause neurologic imbalances in the normal body processes and can alter the regulation, function, and input/output of the organs, tissues, and cells of the nervous system.

Because of the direct relationship between the spine and the nervous system, these subluxations can impair nerve function, reduce communication within your body, and jeopardize the overall health and wellness of the individual. They are a stress response and can occur in your spine through macro traumas (car accident, slips or falls, sports injury, etc.) or micro traumas (repetitive stress, poor posture, poor ergonomic support, etc.).

When subluxation is present it impacts how your brain-body works and how your overall health functions due to the spinal dysfunction and imbalances. This accelerates the wear and tear on the surrounding spinal muscles, ligaments, discs, joint and other spinal tissues. Pain, tenderness on touch, inflammation, decreased spinal mobility, and muscle spasm and hypertonicity may eventually follow.

After your thorough health history and examination on the initial visit, the doctor will determine if you are a candidate for chiropractic care and if we can help you in our office. The foundation of your care plan are chiropractic adjustments which are specific and gentle corrections of the subluxation to correct the interference to enhance your brain-body communication to restore function and thus restore health and well-being to the individual.
