Why does anyone need Chiropractic?

We are all exposed to stress; environmental, chemical, emotional and physical stressors which cause the interference in our nervous system. The bones of the spine move away from normal and place pressure on the nerve, called subluxation, causing interference with the communication between the brain and the body. Chiropractic restores and improves the communication in the mind-body connection enlivening the natural process of life expression. Who wouldn't want their body to have every opportunity to heal itself naturally and have every potential to be healthy & active as you age?  Back to Top

Who can receive chiropractic adjustments? 

Anyone who has a spine can benefit from Chiropractic. Every generation deserves to express their full potential from birth until their last breath. Olympic and many famous athletes have chiropractic as part of their lifestyle & training to keep their body in top condition.  Children, teenagers, moms, dads, elderly, pregnant women, individuals with scoliosis or other spinal conditions all benefit in amazing ways from corrective and wellness chiropractic care. No matter what your genetics or age may be when your body and genetic intelligence are in harmony communicating clearly to each cell, tissue, organ, and system there is a greater life expression.  Back to Top

What is the activator technique? 

The Activator Method is both a way to analyze the body for subluxation and the instrument used to make specific corrections. The technique requires additional schooling and Advanced Proficiency testing every year in which we continue to learn the newest research, analysis, and adjustments to help the body function at a hi gher level. The Activator is a hand held, spring-loaded instrument that delivers an extremely gentle and specific adjustment to the spine, ankles, knees, shoulders and wrists.  This technique allows your body to be perfectly relaxed during the adjustment making it gentle and effective for our smallest newborns to our great-grandparents.  Back to Top

Why do I need to continue care once I am feeling better?

Research has proven that subluxation causes premature aging in the spine, decay beginning within two weeks of the misalignment. The concept of “I’m healthy if I don’t feel pain” is dangerous. Did you know that one of the first symptom of heart disease can be a heart attack? Subluxation interferes with your body’s natural ability to heal causing the body to be in a state of dis-ease often without any symptoms until the final stage. For example: would you go to a dentist who would wait until you were in pain before he checked you for cavities?.....to an internist who told you to wait until you had a stroke before addressing high blood pressure?....to an oncologist who said the only time to deal with cancer was when the tumors started making you feel sick? OF COURSE NOT!

You may begin Chiropractic with pain or symptoms, however when you feel the way the body is meant to heal and function so you can live a healthy, active lifestyle when would you want that to stop? If you truly want to be healthy from the inside out and continue to live in a state of healing then your nervous system must be communicating 24/7 100% over the course of your lifetime.  Back to Top

Why don’t M.D.’s refer us to Chiropractors? 

We actually receive many referrals from M.D.’s, surgeons, specialists and dentists who are educated on Chiropractic. We work together as your health care team so you get the best results and achieve the greatest change in your life.  There is a quote from Deepak Chopra, M.D. in his book Quantum Healing that states “all disease results from the disruption of the flow of intelligence.” Our mission as Chiropractors is to remove interference in the flow of intelligence, our nervous system, so our bodies can live in a state of healing and optimal health. To achieve this over a lifetime you must implement self care, the lifestyle choices you are responsible for everyday, and a health care team for the things your body needs that you cannot do yourself.

How long does the first appointment take? 

Your first visit will take approximately an hour. The doctor will review your health history, perform a complete evaluation, computerized postural analysis and if necessary x-rays so we know how to best help you. You will also schedule for your 2nd visit, which is the doctors report. This takes place on Monday evenings at 6:15pm where we first have an important new patient orientation, then individually we go over your scans, findings, recommendations and all financial options.   We encourage you to bring a friend or loved one to this 2nd appointment.  Back to Top

What all can Chiropractic help?

Subluxations sabotage your health; did you know that your nerve system is the remarkable link responsible for communication between your mind and your body? The University of Colorado found that only 10mm of mercury pressure (about the weight of a dime) can reduce nerve transmission, while the stretching of a nerve by as little as 6% can decrease its strength by up to 70%.  This vital connection between your health and the health of your spine can no longer be ignored. Left unchecked, subluxations diminish your quality of life and can effect asthma, allergies, acid reflux, immune system function, digestion, menstrual cycles, weight, metabolism, headaches, migraines, sciatic, back pain, fatigue, sinus congestion, ear aches, diminished sleep, carpal tunnel, tmj, knee, ankle, shoulder pain, plantar fascitus, degeneration, premature aging, and decreased energy plus many other conditions. Millions of people are seeking out and utilizing chiropractors to help them improve their health and quality of life. Experience the difference chiropractic can make for you and your family.
