“But my back doesn’t hurt.” This is a common response when people are asked why they haven’t ever visited a chiropractor. True chiropractic is about more than back pain (although this is a huge reason why people see us). Chiropractic is based off the philosophy that when vertebrae are restricted or subluxated in the spine, it puts strain on the nervous system (the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves). This strain causes disruption in the nerve impulses traveling up and down the spinal cord and out of the peripheral nerves causing chaos in the body.
So why is this important to you? The brain and the spinal cord cause everything to function in the body including the bowels, lungs, kidneys, bladder, stomach etc. If the impulses are decreased due to stress in the spine, these organs can be affected. This is where the miracles come from in our office. A light and specific series of adjustments can not only help pain but allow your body to function optimally and live a better life.
As a father of a child with spina bifida, not only do I get to see the miracles in my office, but I also get to see the miracles at home. In my opinion, my son thrives due to him being adjusted since birth. I work together closely with his therapists and medical team to give him the best chance to change the world despite being born with spina bifida. Just so you know though, chiropractors do not CURE anything. We remove the interference and allow the body to heal itself. This natural approach allows your body to function the best way possible and eliminate unnecessary surgeries or medications in the future.
