A Chiropractic adjustment is one of the safest and most effective means of improving overall health, reducing the harm done by the stresses of life.  It is a natural, noninvasive procedure that requires years of study and practice.  An adjustment refers to the process in which the Doctor of Chiropractic applies controlled force into one or more subluxated ; areas of the spine or body. The adjustment is typically delivered using the hands or a specialized mechanical tool to the affected areas of the body which are no longer moving properly or where function has become impaired.  If left uncorrected the loss of proper movement can lead to pain, degeneration and potentially osteo-arthritis. The Chiropractor uses several unique tests and procedures to determine which areas are subluxated. Like cavities, subluxations are not always painful during the initial stages and may go unnoticed until they become more severe.  Similar to a Dental check-up, it is important to participate in periodic Chiropractic care to maintain a healthy and normal quality of life.  Correcting subluxations; reduces pain, inflammation, muscle spasms, tension, nerve interference and allows your body to heal itself more efficiently.  This can improve overall health and wellness of the individual. Chiropractic care is often cheaper and more effective than alternative pain treatments such as prescription medications or invasive surgery.

The brain is the CEO of your body, and everything that we do is regulated by nerve impulses that are sent from the brain to the body. The vertebrae protect the spinal cord and allow our bodies to move but they can become fixated or stuck. These” subluxated” vertebrae can put pressure on the nerves as they exit the spine. This added pressure on the nerves can restrict the impulses that are sent from the brain to the body, which in turn can reduce your body’s ability to function as it should. Chiropractic adjustments improve the movement of the vertebrae and help to take the pressure off the nerves. With the release in pressure on the nervous system, the brain is able to communicate with the body more efficiently and the body functions with more precision. For the athlete who is looking for an edge to their physical performance, the improved communication between the brain and every part of the body, especially the heart, lungs and muscles can make the difference between winning and losing. For the woman going through pregnancy looking for relief with general discomfort, headaches, rib and back pain, an adjustment is crucial for her and the baby. For the little one growing up; learning to walk, dealing with constipation, colic and ear aches Chiropractic can help. It helps your quality of performance, it helps with injury prevention and recovery. Similar to the joints of the spine, joints in the extremities can also become misaligned or fixated. This includes but is not limited to joints of the shoulders, wrists, elbows, knees, hips, and ribs.  Chiropractic can restore function reduce wear and tear which can increase the life of your joints. Everyone benefits from Chiropractic care, not just those who are injured.  The physical, mental and chemical stresses of daily life are more than enough to diminish our ability to function normally. Pregnant women, children, the elderly, athletes and everyone in between can find rewards from our care. So, when am I going to feel better and why so many visits? The key is  consistency…There are three phases of care. The Acute or Initial Intensive Phase of Care- this stage usually consists of relieving pain, stabilizing the condition in the shortest amount of time depending on the severity of your condition. This is followed up by a Re Examination to confirm progress is being made. The second phase is the Rehabilitative or Corrective phase of care – this stage usually consists of improving spinal function correcting any underlying injury and/or strengthening muscles and other soft tissues. This phase helps to avoid a relapse of the initial condition. Visits will be less frequent and will often involve exercises and modification of daily habits. The third phase is Wellness or Preventative Care – this stage reduces treatment frequency based upon the improvement you have achieved. This stage of care will take the necessary steps to help prevent the return of the original condition. Regularly scheduled visits help to prevent reoccurrence of the problems before they become serious. Each patient elects to continue with a personally designed health program to maintain improved health and overall function.
