Chiropractic Is...
Most people think of chiropractic as a treatment for back and neck pain, but that really doesn't have much of anything to do with chiropractic. If you see a plant dying, what do you instinctively know to do to help it? If you give that plant the proper amounts of water, sunlight and nutrients (in the soil) and it's not too far gone, it's going to thrive and be healthy again. How does it know to do that? It just knows...God made that plant to work that way. It knows of no other way to exist. Aren't you and I just like that plant? You need certain ingredients for you to thrive and be healthy.
When you cut your finger, you expect it to heal. You don't have to go to the store to buy new skin cells and then knit yourself back together. How does your body know to do that? There is that intangible thing we call LIFE in you. To a large degree, that life source is expressed from the brain and through the nervous system. Impulses (messages) travel along the nervous system from the brain to virtually every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body...and back again. If something is keeping you from getting what you need (life messages from your brain to your body), you can't be your best.
When the bones of your spine begin to shift (misalign) they can irritate, stretch, or put pressure on the nerves and spinal cord hindering those life messages from getting to your body. We call this a subluxation. Subluxations are usually painless until they've been present for years or even decades. Silently they cause your health to decline, like a dimmer switch. We want you to have maximum life every day for as many days as you get. Like that plant, isn't it a good idea to just make sure that you're getting all of the right ingredients every day instead of waiting until you're dying?
That's the "vitalistic" approach. Taking care of the body the way it was intended to be and allowing life to be expressed at it's fullest. My job is to help you do that by keeping your nervous system healthy and those vital life messages traveling freely throughout your body.
