WHAT
IS CHIROPRACTIC CARE?
 For
over 100 years, chiropractic care has produced
significant results in treating a wide variety
of health problems. The heart of chiropractic is
care of the backbone - it is well documented
that the majority of all back problems are
mechanical, meaning the vertebrae don't move
properly, and the muscles are out of balance.
Stiffness develops in joints that are locked
together. This can progress into degenerative
arthritis. Misalignments, or subluxations, can
result in pressure on muscles, ligaments and
even nerves. When your body is stressed
mechanically beyond what it can normally handle,
other systems in the body can be affected. Every
body organ and every essential function for your
health is connected to your spinal cord.
Nurturing this delicate relationship between the
nervous system and the way the body functions is
the philosophy of chiropractic.
How do vertebrae get out of alignment?
It's easier than you think. The research shows
over 90% is an accumulation of things you go
through in daily living. Poor posture, sleeping
habits, and poor bending and lifting techniques
are as much to blame as slips, falls, accidents
and other traumas. By gently training your
vertebrae back into place through chiropractic
adjustments, all the systems of your body can
work together as they are intended.
Because of its non-invasive nature, chiropractic
care is the preferred first line of both
treatment and prevention for a wide variety of
health problems, and around the world, research
studies have overwhelmingly verified this
conservative form of treatment.
As chiropractic care works with the nervous
system, you can look forward to future research
that links chiropractic care to improvements in
the areas of aging, genetics, and immune system
response as well.
Subluxation Degeneration
The Tragic Effect of Uncorrected Spinal
Malfunction
Subluxation Degeneration is a relentless
degenerative process associated with the
Vertebral Subluxation Complex. It can be caused
by uncorrected physical trauma, emotional
stress, or chemical imbalance. If neglected,
calcium deposition reduces joint mobility and
makes complete correction difficult.
What is Proper Spinal Alignment?
Proper spinal alignment is essential for normal
health and pain-free living. As these x-rays
show, there is a progressive degeneration that
can be halted, or slowed, with proper
chiropractic care.
