WHY CHIROPRACTIC?

Because Chiropractors focus on the health and well being of the entire person. It is our mission to help each individual experience overall balance of their nervous system so that their bodies can function at 100% of their ability. We approach health from a true health philosophy versus the "disease care model" that has been so prevalent in society over the last 100 years. We do not believe that better health comes from better chemistry, but that better health comes from within. We are leading the health care revolution, and are educating and empowering all our patients to better understand health and the active role they can take. It is important to understand that HEALTH is the "optimum physical, mental and social well-being; not merely the absence of disease and infirmity."

There is a natural health continuum that starts at birth with each of us having our full potential. Through physical/chemical and emotional stresses we experience various states of dis-ease, which a chiropractor can identify as subluxations in the spine. If left without correction this can lead to disease/pathology, at first with no symptoms, but if left will eventually lead to full symptoms or pathology. The final stage in the continuum is death. Our traditional system of "disease care" enters into this continuum once any of us have symptoms or pathology. True health care requires detection of any dis-ease in the system, or more importantly even earlier at the level where we are dealing with various stresses. Because of the importance of education around the area of life and lifestyle stresses, we partner with many other holistic health practitioners to teach and educate our patients about physical/chemical and emotional stresses.

The foundation of the chiropractic profession is the detection and correction of the vertebral subluxation. The vertebral subluxation is the loss of normal alignment and motion of spinal bones, impairing the function of the nervous system. A chiropractic adjustment is a specific correction of the subluxation to improve nervous system function thus restoring optimum health. Optimal health and expression of life are dependent upon the proper function of the spine and nervous system, free of interference. A Chiropractor is a doctor who promotes whole body health and the body's innate ability to heal itself.
