What is Wellness Chiropractic?

“Many of us take better care of our automobiles than we do our own bodies… yet the auto has replaceable parts.” -BJ Palmer

Chiropractic is a Lifestyle

They usually say, “I used to go to a chiropractor when I threw my back out,” but what they do not realize is that chiropractic is a health care modality that provides significantly more than just a solution for pain. Chiropractic is a lifestyle that involves all aspects of wellness including exercise, nutrition, personal development, stress relief, etc. We have been fortunate to work with people of all ages, including newborns, children, adolescents, adults and the elderly, and the outcome has been miraculous.

Children, who were diagnosed with colic or about to have tubes placed in their ears, were able to find a solution that actually lasted for a lifetime by means of the chiropractic adjustment.

The Discovery & Removal of Vertebral Subluxation

We define chiropractic as the discovery and removal of the vertebral subluxation, which is interference that is taking place in your central nervous system (CNS). It is important to recognize that our CNS is the master controller of our entire body and it directly correlates to our ability to function and exist. People who are suffering from allergies, asthma, headaches, etc. are living in a subluxated state, but when we provide these individuals with an adjustment, we are able to remove the interference, and the condition dissipates. In addition, patients who are under regular chiropractic care (1-2x each month) actually prevent these situations from impeding upon their lives.

Where Does a ‘Subluxation’ come from?

Maybe you are wondering where a “subluxation” comes from, and if this is the case, it is the direct result of everything that we do. We can be born with subluxation which can occur during the birth process, even if it was a c-section. We can get misaligned with falls as a child, school sports and many amusement park rides. Lifestyle stresses, both perceived as positive and negative, result in nerve interference, which needs to be addressed. For example, during the holiday season, many people tend to consume a substantial amount of food and alcohol and also spend more time with family (which some would consider good stress, some bad stress). What we have seen, is that after the holiday season, people frequently get SICK, often caused by a subluxation. The food, alcohol, and family represent lifestyle stresses. Even if labeled as positive, our body is sensitive to external factors. This is why chiropractic care needs to be an essential component of your life and something that we encourage your entire family to consider for overall health and well-being.
