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 super highway” of your spinal cord.

These spinal subluxations can produce a variety of health problems.

Nerve pressure can cause numbness, weakness or the under‑performance of organs and tissues. Or, spinal misalignment can cause nerve tissue to stretch, chafe or become irritated. This 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 artificially change the way your body works. Laxatives to speed up elimination. Antacids to reduce stomach acid. Besides the fatal mistakes, side effects and possible kidney damage, drugs often ignore the real cause of the problem.

A thorough examination 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 care is simple. It’s natural. It honors the wisdom of your body. And it has helped millions enjoy relief and better health for more than a century.

Who can chiropractic care help?

Improved nerve communications between your brain and your body can help everyone. So, if you have subluxations, you could likely benefit from chiropractic care. Modified adjusting approaches can help children, the elderly or those with special needs.

How long will it take to heal?

Since chiropractic care depends on the healing abilities of each patient, results are hard to predict. Every patient responds differently. Some detect changes in a few short days or weeks. Others may take weeks to months before showing progress.

Will I have to go to a chiropractor for the rest of my life?

Like your chiropractic doctor, some patients opt to continue with some type of regular chiropractic checkup. These patients show up for their visits feeling great. Their interest in wellness and prevention helps make sure that once they get well, they stay well.

What if my insurance company doesn’t cover chiropractic?

Each of us has the freedom to place a different value on our health. Ultimately, good health is about personal responsibility. While an insurance company or other third party may be helpful, be careful. Don’t allow a profit‑motivated company to make decisions about what you do with your health.
