The purpose of chiropractic care is to optimize the function of the nervous system. The nervous system is the master control system of the entire body. It transmits signals to and receives information from every cell, tissue and organ of the body. Unfortunately physical stress (i.e. birth, falls, poor posture), chemical stress (i.e. poor nutrition, drugs, environmental toxins), and mental / emotional stress (i.e. work, money, family) cause joints of the spine to stop moving properly or become stuck. This creates interference within the nervous system which may be symptom-free or manifest as pain, numbness, weakness, indigestion, constipation, problems concentrating, trouble breathing etc. Nervous system interference from spinal misalignment is called a ‘subluxation’ and chiropractors remove and prevent subluxations.

Chiropractors use safe, gentle, and specific adjustments to realign the spine. This may be done using their hands (Diversified / Manual Technique), an instrument (The Activator), or the movement of the table (Drop Pieces).

An adjustment:
 

• Increases mobility

• Reduces pressure on the joints, muscles and nerves

• Allows the spine to return to its proper position and function

​

 

Uncorrected subluxations may result in spinal degeneration (a.k.a osteoarthritis and degenerative disc disease). The elimination of subluxations results in decrease pain and symptoms and improved bodily functions. Chiropractors balance and align your spine to take pressure off of nerves so that your body can heal itself and so that you can live life to your full potential!

Everyone with a spine should be checked by a chiropractor whether it is for symptom relief or wellness care … just like everyone with teeth should be checked by a dentist. We check people of all ages, from newborns to seniors. We take great pride in seeing families get well and stay well together.
