What Is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a drug free health care system that enhances your bodies innate ability to heal itself.
Getting a chiropractic adjustment is like having the lights turned on.
How Does Chiropractic Work?
Chiropractors correct subluxations. A subluxation is when the bones of the spine (vertebra) move out of place and it changes the way the brain communicates with the body.
The muscles of the body have special sensors in them that tell the brain where they are in relation to others (proprioception). These sensors can detect a micrometer of movement. That means if a bone is a micrometer out of place your brain knows it and starts to make corrective action. When vertebrae are stuck out of place we lose proprioception, this is called nociception. Nociception causes the body to create the stress response. The stress response is also called sympathetic response (fight or flight). If the body is in fight or flight it goes into preservation mode, not building mode.
When a chiropractor gives the adjustment to the spine, it mobilizes the joints, restores proprioception and allows the body to move into parasympathetic (relaxation and healing). It is important for the body to be able to switch between sympathetic and parasympathetic modes to be able to handle everyday life. When the body is subluxated it gets stuck in sympathetic mode and can’t efficiently adapt to everyday life.

How Do I Know If I Need A Chiropractor?
You may or may not know you need to see a chiropractor.
Subluxation if left long enough will usually become painful, but studies have shown it can take up to 30 years to feel pain from them. Because the subluxation ALWAYS causes dysfunction you should not wait until it causes symptoms.
What Does A Chiropractor Do?
A Chiropractor is the only health care professional that is trained to locate, analyze and correct subluxations.
Chiropractic is a very effective system to address all health concerns because all healing comes from within the body, and chiropractic allows your bodies innate intelligence to run at optimal performance. Most people have heard they should go to a chiropractor if they have back pain, neck pain, or headaches, but chiropractic can help so much more!
Some things you may not have thought about chiropractic for:
Vertigo: The C1 (top bone in the neck) has a direct connection with you inner and middle ear, which are one of your main balance centers. If your body has a C1 subluxation your ear may not be transmitting properly to your brain where you are in space, the brain not knowing how to interpret this miscommunication makes you feel dizzy.
Carpal tunnel syndrome, shoulder, elbow or hand pain:
If you have subluxations of the bones of the lower neck or upper back, it affects nerves that run down your arms.
