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.

Your doctor determined from your last set of X-Rays that you have arthritis in your spine.  Now you're concerned with how it got there. Was it the physical stress of your job? The 15 years of league bowling? Or maybe the accident you had when you were a teenager? It's hard to tell.

When it comes to arthritis the underlying cause isn't necessarily what you DID, but more what you HAVEN'T BEEN DOING. Do you maximize the range of motion in your body every day?  Do you regularly have your spine checked for Subluxations?  Joints wear down faster when they're stuck and misaligned - that's why it's important to keep them lined up and moving with regularly spaced Chiropractic care.

Blaming the activities in your life for your arthritis is like blaming the sidewalk for scuffing your shoes. Things naturally wear down when you use them over time, including your spine. Instead of worrying about the wear and tear you have, start doing something NOW to slow the process.  Getting adjusted more often is a good place to start.

Your sciatica isn’t easing as fast as you’d like, you’re chronic migraines are slow to abate.  Healing doesn’t happen at the rate you decide on, and there’s a good reason why.

The Doctor inside you - innate intelligence - has a long list of things to do to just keep you alive, like digesting breakfast... re-creating new liver tissue... or arresting pre-cancerous growths.  The prioritizing of physiological tasks doesn’t always correspond with your wishes.  Sometimes the problem highest on your healing to do list, isn’t the most important on innate’s.  But rest assured, it’s aware of every line item.

Trusting your innate healing power is the foundation of Principled Chiropractic (care based on thirty three philosophical principles of practice).  The best we can do is locate and correct your subluxations, keep the lines of nerve communication open and let nature take care of the rest.  Yielding to innate’s schedule ALWAYS benefits Life.

Poor Rudolf, the enthusiastic little reindeer with the quirky glowing nose - no one wanted to play with him because he was different.  There was a time when the Chiropractic profession was in the same sleigh.

Before the famous 1987 Wilk’s Antitrust case victory, the American Medical Association made strong efforts to keep Chiropractors from playing their ‘health care game’ - warning its members to never refer patients to Chiropractors or face being shunned by the entire medical community.  They failed to realize Chiropractic was an entirely unique health care approach (unlike medicine in any shape or form) and we wouldn’t be bullied out of serving the public with our ‘different’ Principle.

Today the playing field is different.  More and more people rely on the inherent, recuperative properties of their own bodies and use Chiropractic to preserve and protect their health without drugs or surgery.  With our Principle so bright, we’ll continue guiding our patients to better heath and more Life.
