An optimal spine equals optimal health

The nervous system houses your hidden inner power source. Think about it. Your brain isn't programmed to make you sick or diseased - ever. Each human brain and nervous system is totally 100 percent programmed for optimal health and wellness, and will manifest this every time unless interfered with somewhere in the system.

Only 10 percent of your entire nervous system carries or perceives pain. Up to 90 percent can be heavily stressed without any alarms, whistles, or bells.

Since your spinal cord (which carries your inner power source) runs inside the spinal column, it stands to reason that the spinal column has the greatest opportunity to interfere with the power of your nerve flow. In fact, that's exactly what does occur. Imagine the 24 moveable vertebrae that make up the spinal column (including the skull, sacrum, and pelvis) undergoing continuous pressure from gravity. Then add tension from prolonged or unusual patterns of sitting and/or standing. Go further and consider the strain from walking, exercising, or sustaining mild to significant injuries.

Now let's compound this whole thing with the stress that comes from personal, professional, and emotional tension. If that wasn't enough, it's also well-known that chemical toxicity from foods, medications and the environment cause reflexive stress to your spine. It's a wonder that healthy vital messages from the brain ever get to the body at all!

When a spinal vertebrae shifts out of place, it puts remarkable pressure on the spinal cord and spinal nerves, causing interruption to the vital nerve flow within the body. This condition is referred to as vertebral subluxation.

Chiropractors are highly trained vertebral subluxation specialists who focus on removing nerve interference.

As you can imagine, chiropractic works for all ages and walks of life.

The inner power source that made your body in nine months is the same power that heals your body today. However, subluxations can begin at birth and progress throughout life. Interruption to proper nerve flow by subluxation can affect you mentally and physically. Healthy cell metabolism, organ function and sharp mental focus are all jeopardized with decreased nerve flow.

Correcting subluxations greatly improves the body's ability to heal to its full potential. That's why it's common to see whole families choosing chiropractic - because no one is ever too young or too old to obtain a healthy nervous system for life.

Chiropractic is safe, gentle, and effective.

People under general chiropractic care are among the healthiest people in the world, needing much less medication, hospitalization, and even fewer doctor visits.
