"Chiropractic, in its scientific simplicity, is the link between the internal wisdom of life and the body." Dr. Sid Williams, DC
Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that every function in the human body is directed and coordinated by the nervous system. It is through this science that we know the body is a self healing and self regulating organism. The power that made the body heals the body! The body heals itself through the communication of the nervous system to the tissues in your body and guiding the correction of any problems with the building of new tissue. It will do this as long as there is no interference in the nerve flow to the tissues in question.
The chiropractor's primary goal is to help the body tap into this amazing, internal healing wisdom by removing interferences to this nervous system called "subluxations." These are changes in the dynamics of the bones of the spine, choking, stretching or irritating the delicate nerve tissues. The results of subluxations cause sickness and symptoms in the tissues where these nerves go. For some the symptom is headaches, in others it is back pain, others irritable bowel syndrome or asthma. If a subluxation is left uncorrected it can affect the structure and function of the joints of the spine, and thus lead to scoliosis, or start the cycle of spinal arthritis.
Subluxations can happen at any time. They can be caused by repetitive strain injury, sports injuries, prolonged sitting at a desk or computer, long drives and more. Stress and the physical tension it creates can subluxate the spine. The way we run, walk, sit and sleep are always affected by gravity, and the spine bears the majority of this.
Chiropractors are trained to detect and correct subluxations with specific adjustments. The adjustment is a specific low force to re-align the vertebrae, thus removing the nerve interference and restoring proper function of the spine. Chiropractic is for all ages and a healthy spine and nervous system is a priority today, for healthier tomorrows.
When we are feeling ill our mind and body says, "I can't", and our happiness, vitality, enjoyment of life and people, work and play, and relationships all suffer. When we are healthy, we attract new opportunities and possibilities. We have energy to play, to work, to give or to share with others. Illness costs our lives in so many ways. Healing with Chiropractic pays in so many ways by optimizing your health and quality of life.
Chiropractors believe in building a relationship with our patients. Helping our patients to healthy lives by maximizing wellness with a healthy spine and nervous system is our mission. We would like to help you on the journey to better health, vitality and quality of life.
