Chiropractic care is a form of healthcare based on the principal of the relationship between the body's nervous system and the spinal column. In addition to reducing pain, spinal adjustments enhance the ability of the nervous system to function at an optimal level.

Because the nervous system controls every organ and every cell in your body, chiropractic care can impact the function of every system in your body. This is how chiropractic care can help countless conditions from musculoskeletal pain and headaches to digestive issues and even infertility. Literally any condition could potentially benefit from chiropractic care.

According to history, the first chiropractic patients did not present with neck pain or back pain at all. The first patient, Harvey Lillard, actually suffered from deafness in one ear. He was found to have obvious spinal misalignment that upon correction, miraculously resulted in restoration of his hearing.

The second case involved an individual who suffered from a heart condition that failed to respond to traditional methods of treatment. This patient was also found to have spinal misalignment. The misalignment was located in the region of the spine where the nerves exiting the spinal cord continue on to innervate the heart and control cardiac function. Spinal adjustments at this vertebral level resulted in immediate relief. From correlating the outcome of these two incidences, the science, art, and philosophy of chiropractic was developed.

The goal of chiropractic care is to eliminate any nervous system interference allowing the body to function at it's optimum. This interference is generally the result of vertebral misalignments which Chiropractors refer to as spinal subluxations.

Subluxations can result from many things including physical trauma, environmental toxins, or even from mental stress. The goal of chiropractic care is to remove any subluxations, in turn freeing the nervous impulses from any interference and allowing the body to restore optimal function.

Spinal adjustments enhance the ability of the nervous system to function at an optimal level therefore, literally any condition could potentially benefit from chiropractic care.

All children deserve the opportunity to express optimal health! A chiropractic evaluation could be one of the most important examinations your child receives.

A child may experience trauma or stress, beginning in utero or during the birthing process, even during the most uncomplicated births. Normal childhood activities such as jumping, running, skipping and climbing can create spinal stress which, if not properly alleviated, can possibly lead to serious health conditions down the road.

Children respond exceptionally well to chiropractic care. Research has proven chiropractic care to be effective at relieving numerous childhood conditions including colic, constipation, earaches, asthma, allergies, bed-wetting, and more.

Many different behavioral conditions have also been reported to benefit from chiropractic care including ADD/ADHD and anxiety, resulting in improved focus and concentration. Chiropractic care promotes proper brain and neural development.

Chiropractic care will facilitate optimal immune function for your child so they will be more resistant to common childhood illnesses, the seasonal flu, and colds.

Children grow and develop at an incredibly rapid rate. It is essential for your child to maintain spinal health for optimal growth and development.

The most important reason to bring your child in for a chiropractic evaluation is for wellness and prevention. Give your child their best chance at optimal development and functioning.

Chiropractic care is extremely important for the elderly adult because of the dramatic changes that occur in the spine with increasing age. There are a number of amazing benefits of chiropractic care specifically for elderly individuals.

As we age, spinal tissues and joints become weaker, less hydrated, more fibrotic, and less able to withstand normal stresses. As a result, spinal degeneration (arthritis) becomes more prominent, tissue injury often occurs, and the time to heal from injuries increases.

Chiropractic care can prevent further degeneration and can restore joint mobility. Frequency and severity of pain will be decreased. Balance and coordination are improved. Improved balance and coordination results in decreased injuries from falls. Enhanced immune function results in greater overall health and ultimately total well-being is improved.

Feeling good, staying healthy and doing the things that make us happy are what keeps us looking forward to each new day. Chiropractic care for the elderly is aimed at increasing and maintaining quality of life.

Pregnancy is an incredibly precious moment in the span of life. Balancing the body's nervous system can produce significant positive enhancements throughout pregnancy. A well-functioning nervous system enables a mother to combat many of the hurdles encountered during pregnancy.

Studies have shown that receiving chiropractic care during pregnancy is safe for both mother and the unborn child and that regular chiropractic adjustments throughout the pregnancy resulted in a less stressful pregnancy and more comfortable labor and delivery.

Chiropractic care will ensure the pelvis is properly positioned to allow for optimal expansion to accommodate the growing baby. Research has proven that correct alignment of the spine and pelvis contributes to a more straightforward labor with less pain and trauma for both mother and child, and may significantly reduce labor time.
