What is chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a unique healing discipline that concerns itself with the bodies’ own inborn, or innate, ability to heal itself. The body is built with the ability to communicate, run, and heal on its own through the pathways of the nervous system.
When your spinal bones (vertebrae) misalign, they can impinge upon the nerves that exit through each of these vertebrae. The compression of these nerves can cause irritation thus causing a disruption in the messages being sent through that nerve pathway.
Chiropractic uses the art of adjusting the spine into alignment to remove the compression to the nerves exiting the spine. When compression is removed the nerve function is restored and the body can then heal itself through proper communication.

Prenatal Chiropractic Care

Chiropractors specializing in Websters In-Utero Constraint Technique (formerly known as breech turning) gently free a breeched baby to turn on its own. Chiropractic care often prevents constraints and makes both the pregnancy and delivery easier for the mother and the baby by helping with their neurological function, freedom of movement and level of comfort.

Why do kids need chiropractic?

Since significant spinal trauma can occur at birth, many parents have their newborns checked for vertebral subluxations. Later, learning to walk, ride a bicycle, and other childhood activities can cause spinal problems. Regular spinal checkups can identify these problems and help avoid many of the health complaints seen later in adults. Naturally, chiropractic adjusting procedures are modified to a child’s spine. Children are healthier and more resilient than adults; therefore they are able to heal faster.
We work with children because they get the most significant, long lasting results throughout their lifetime. This prevents common childhood illnesses while also boosting their immune system through adjusting techniques specific to children, and slows the degeneration bodies often experience from various stresses over time. Family’s overall health is better with more focused energy, improved sleeping habits and resisitance to disease, less illness, fewer missed work and school days, and improved attitudes and attention spans.
