What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is the fastest growing natural healing profession in the world, serving over 2,000,000 people daily. Chiropractic balances the body's bone structure and function and promotes self healing. Chiropractors adjust misaligned bones anywhere in your body restoring them back to normal position so they function properly. Adjustments relieve endangering pressure from pinched nerves so that your brain can communicate with the rest of your body.

Your brain sends and receives messages to and from the rest of your body, through your spinal cord. These messages are what tells your heart to beat, your lungs to breathe, your legs to walk. The spinal cord is surrounded and protected by the 24 moving bones of the spinal column called the vertebrae. When these vertebrae are shifted out of normal position, the nerves that exit between the two vertebrae become irritated. This irritation ,"pinched nerve", can create multiple symptoms including, but not limited to, throbbing, burning, tingling, shooting, dull, sharp pains, and numbness. Because your nervous system controls your entire body, this nerve interference also effects muscles, organs, glands, and tissues. This is why undetected nerve interference can lead to many disease processes.

What is a Vertebral Subluxation?

When a spinal vertebrae shifts out of alignment, it may put damaging pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. Everything from turning, twisting, bending and lifting, to slips, falls, or heavy exertion can force the bones of the spine to kink or irritate the spinal cord and spinal nerves. This condition is called Vertebral Subluxation and causes interruption of the spinal nerve flow within your body. This makes it hard for the messages from your brain to be heard by the rest of your body and can cause numbness, tingling and pain, not just in your back, but in any and all parts of your body.

My job as a Chiropractor is to gently move the bones of your spine or any misaligned area in your body back into their correct position allowing your nervous system to return to normal function. This "adjustment" can help eliminate the aches, pains, and disease processes you may have because of misaligned bones.

A correctly aligned spine empowers your immune system to function at maximum capacity, helping your body naturally fight off illness, without the need for drugs or painkillers. When the spine is misaligned or subluxated it will wear down or degenerate at a much more rapid rate, just as a car tire will wear down when not properly aligned.

Instead of just masking your symptoms, Chiropractic addresses the cause of the problem.

Symptoms are the body's warning signals that something is wrong. In Most cases, subluxation (misalignment) is present without symptom or warning. Usually the problem has existed for a significant period of time by the time the first symptom is detected. If you rely on symptoms, or already have some, your health could seriously be in jeopardy.

Without a chiropractic evaluation, vertebral subluxation may interfere with body's innate healing ability, decreasing your quality of health and life.
