Setting goals for a healthier lifestyle is something we do every year…and for some, just about every month!  No doubt there are a myriad of exercise plans, home gym equipment and diet regiments to choose from to restore your fitness and vitality - but will you include this important piece of the puzzle to become the healthiest version of you yet?

Eating right and exercising are important to restoring lost health.  But your 'best health' picture won't be complete without a clear nerve system. Proper muscle function, efficient digestion and a good mental attitude depend on smooth transmission of signals within your nerve system - signals which can be interfered with if your spine is stiff, misaligned and in poor shape.

If you want to get the most out of any new healthy routine, make sure to pencil in a trip to your Chiropractor and have your spinal health evaluated for potential problems that could hold you back. If you fit in ALL the pieces of the puzzle, your hard work will certainly pay off.

There is a lot to love about Chiropractic - the science of nerve function, the art of correcting posture and spinal alignment.  But the best part is the philosophy that gives meaning to it all.

Physicians focus on body parts. Psychologists analyze thoughts. Clergy tend to matters of the spirit.  But no one profession touches them all... your physical health, mental health and spiritual health like Chiropractic.  You can't experience any of these without a CLEAR nerve system.  When Chiropractors restore normal spinal alignment and clear away nerve stress, your ability to express physical, mental and spiritual health is simply better.

Love and Life thrive where things are aligned.  The resolution of pain and restoration of function are nice side effects of Chiropractic - the thing we love the most, however, is when you become whole again.  Have a Happy and Healthy Valentine's week!

Every day, people around the world thank their Chiropractors for giving them their health and their Lives back.  It’s common to hear patients say 'doc, you really did a great job...' and 'doc, you helped me when no one else could.'  But the truth is... we can't take all the credit for it.

While medicine gives most of the credit for healing to the physician or the drug, Chiropractors see it as a team effort with four key players - the Chiropractor who clears interference from the nerve system, the innate wisdom within the patient which orchestrates the healing, the patient who practices good lifestyle habits and the time it takes for the process to unfold.

We're ecstatic when you see results from our service.  But never forget, we're not the only one rowing the boat.  There are three other oarsmen, pulling in unison... and together, we make the perfect, healing team!

When farmers plant, they don't question the seed's innate ability to grow and produce crops.  Neither do they dig the seeds up every day to verify they’re maturing underground.  They simply prepare the soil as best as they can and trust nature to handle the rest.

Similarly, Chiropractors don't question your innate ability to heal when we remove interference in your spine (Subluxations).  We know the each human body is blessed with an internal intelligence - an auto pilot capable enough to coordinate and carry out all the steps required to build and repair damaged tissue when necessary.  By adjusting, we're simply maintaining an environment conducive for that healing process to occur (a clear nerves system) and TRUSTING the innate wisdom in the patient to run the show.

The only thing a doctor can ever heal is him or herself.  Likewise, the only one capable of healing you is the 'doctor' within you.  The best physicians in the world recognize and yield to this awesome Power within every patient.  The best we can do is prep the soil and get out of its way.

The weight of a dime, 8-10 mm of Hg, that's all it takes to drain normal nerve transmission to a trickle.  Stretching a nerve by as little as 6% can also decrease its signal strength by 70%.   So what does that mean for you?

Your Nerve System transmits the data of Life.  Depending on role, thickness and sheath covering, some nerves can relay information from your brain to your body at speeds exceeding 200 mph.  If those impulses are communicating vital instructions like 'how many times your heart needs to beat,' or 'how should your immune system respond to a pre-cancerous lesion,' you want those messages traveling at the highest possible speeds - with NO interference.  If those signals get blocked at the spinal level because of misaligned vertebrae (subluxations), damage to your health becomes eminent.

Sustained pressure and stretch on spinal nerves may not manifest symptoms immediately.  Detrimental effects usually grow silently until a crisis occurs.  That's why it's important to keep your spine in proper alignment with Chiropractic care - so your good health doesn't stop on a dime.

You rarely hear a medical doctor prescribing to their patients the same care they do for their own families. Think about it. When was the last time your MD said "…here, try some of these antidepressants, statins and stomach acid inhibitors. I take them ALL to stay healthy and I give them to my family too."

Most Chiropractors, however, cheerfully follow their own care recommendations - adjusting their family, friends and most importantly THEMSELVES to stay Subluxation free and keep their bodies working at peak levels. Some adopted this 'clear nerve system' lifestyle from a miraculous chiropractic experience they had before becoming one themselves… others because their parents brought them as a child or they descended from a long lineage of Chiropractors. Whatever the reason, prioritizing regular care in their OWN lives gives it so much more validity in YOURS.

Isn't it nice to know that in a day and age of fake news, false advertising and idle promises there are DC's who walk the talk and keep their spines aligned just like you? Do you know why your doctor decided to become a Chiropractor? The answer may inspire you.
