Chiropractic Care
The Power That Heals
Conventional Wisdom?
Most of us have relied on the public healthcare system for help with any and all health problems. Millions have been greatly disappointed and are looking for a better answer.
Conventional healthcare is focused on infection, the later stages of disease and trauma care. The solution is usually a drug, surgical procedure or to wait and see if it gets better or worse.
Science is showing your level of natural immunity, natural body defense and vitality is what determines your ability to be healthy.
Millions suffer with common conditions such as headaches, arthritis, heart disease, depression, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, asthma, allergies and acid reflux to name a few.
Our children are developing “adult” chronic diseases like type II diabetes and obesity. Cancer rates are on the rise.
Conventional healthcare has failed to meet these challenges. In the meantime, chiropractic has become the second largest health profession in the world by helping people get well and stay well.
Health by Chance?
None of the body functions happen by chance. Your heart doesn’t just happen to beat. Your lungs don’t just happen to inhale and exhale. Your stomach doesn’t just happen to digest your dinner.
The study of anatomy and physiology shows your brain and nervous system coordinate these functions which makes for wellness and vitality instead of sickness and suffering.
Your brain and nervous system direct your heart to beat 72 times per minute, 60 minutes every hour, 103,680 times every 24 hours and pump 4,320 gallons of blood through nearly 100,000 miles of blood vessels, thus supplying oxygen and nourishment to every cell in the body.
Today you will also breathe 23,040 times, digest about 3 ¼ pounds of food, drink and process about 3 quarts of liquid, speak about 4,800 words, move over 750 muscles and exercise about 7,000,000 brain cells. 
None of these things “just happen.” Your nervous system – often called the Master System – controls every function taking place in you. This makes you a whole human being rather than a collection of parts.
Your Amazing Nervous System
Your nervous system resembles an upside down tree. The main trunk is suspended from the brain and the smallest twigs end in the cells of the body.
Distribution of nerves throughout your body is so complete that if we could dissolve away all other tissues, we would still see your form made up entirely of nerves.
When the nerve impulses flow freely, we enjoy health and vitality. If there is interference in normal nerve function, there is bound to be health trouble.
The skull and spine are intended to protect the brain, spinal cord and the nerves leading from it. When the spine stops moving well, it does not protect. Instead, normal movements are now strained and difficult which can choke and irritate delicate nerves. This causes interference with normal nerve function and can affect far reaching parts of the body.
Health’s Worst Enemy
To enjoy optimal health, the structure and function of the spine and nervous system must be at its best. Anything less leads to poor health and a constant struggle for good health.
Many suffer needlessly because of irritated or choked nerves. The cause is never addressed and their health gets worse.
This altered relationship where nerves are choked or irritated is called vertebral subluxation. Three types of stress are the cause.
- Physical stress such as a fall, car accident or sports injury.
- Chemical stress such as a poor diet, smoking or drugs.
- Emotional stress such as anger, anxiety or depression.
These stresses can work in combination against your nervous system and can have a huge impact on your health.
Poor Nerve Function Causes Poor Health
Damaged nerves can cause partial or even complete paralysis of an arm or leg.
The same thing occurs when the nerves going to the lungs, digestive system or any other organ get choked or irritated. The organ doesn’t receive a clear signal, starts to do its own thing and begins to breakdown.
Any cell, tissue or organ without a clear nerve signal from the brain cannot maintain healthy function.
The Amazing Doctor You
Chiropractors do not give drugs to mask symptoms. Nature has provided you with a build-in program that knows what the body needs, when to deliver it and how much to provide.
Cuts and bruises heal, your immune system takes care of a cold or flu, your digestive system knows what to get rid of and what to keep.
Your body is designed to take care of you provided nothing interferes with normal nerve function.
Chiropractors work with the nervous system through the spine. Chiropractic was the first to recognize the connection between the spine, nervous system and overall health.
Many years of professional schooling in basic sciences, clinical skills and ongoing professional development have provided the necessary skill required to care for people.
Everyone is an individual requiring special consideration for their particular health concern and wellness goals.
The chiropractor is the only doctor in your community with the knowledge and skill to restore normal nerve function, the natural way to lasting health.
