WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC?
Chirorpractic is the science, art and philosophy of well being. Well being is the result of optimal health
and healing. Chiropractic realizes the same power that made the body continues heal the body as long as
there is no interference. Interference comes from misalignments of the spine called subluxations. This
puts endangering stress on your spinal cord, which acts as the intelligence line for the whole body. Since
all cells, tissues and organs are under the direct control of your nervous system, this inhibits healing and
prevents optimal health.
For over a century, doctors of chiropractic have successfully helped millions of individuals recover from
spine-related health problems. As a result, chiropractic has earned its place as the largest drugless and
non-surgical health care profession in the United States.
Chiropractic is a holistic approach towards optimal health. Chiropactic does not treat symptoms or
disease, and does not cure anything. Chiropractic removes interference, releasing the bodies inborn
healing potential.
Chiropractic is drugless, noninvasive and actively promotes health by correcting vertebral subluxations.
HOW DOES CHIROPRACTIC WORK?
Chiropractic works by restoring your body's inborn ability to be healthy. When under the proper control
of your nervous system, all the cells, tissues, and organs of your body are designed to resist disease and
ill health. The chiropractic approach to better health is to locate and remove interferences (subluxations,
misaligned vertebrae) to your nervous system. With improved spinal function, there is improved nervous
system function. The goal of the chiropractor is to remove interference that may be impairing normal
health through specific chiropractic adjustments, allowing your body to heal itself. A healthy spine and a
healthy lifestyle are your keys to optimal health!
WHAT IS SUBLUXATION?
A subluxation occurs when adjacent spinal bones are "out of place" in relation to each other. This sets
off a chain reaction affecting the spinal bones, muscles and soft tissue. This results in degenerative
changes (see subluxation degeneration below) and nerve interference.
Subluxations are often due to poor sleeping habits, poor posture, strenuous exercise, injuries stemming
from poor work conditions, automobile accidents, sports, slips or falls, even the birthing process itself.
WHAT IS A CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENT?
A chiropractic adjustment is the art of using a specific force in a precise direction, applied to a joint that
is subluxated, "locked up," or not moving properly. The purpose of this safe and natural procedure is to
eliminate interference to the nervous system, improving spinal function and overall health. "Gentle spinal
adjustments boosts your body's immunity."
WHO SHOULD SEE A DOCTOR OF CHIROPRACTIC?
Nerve interference can affect anyone, which is why people of all ages experience relief and improved
health through chiropractic care. A qualified doctor of chiropractic will best determine the
appropriateness of care for you or your family.
IS CHIROPRACTIC SAFE?
YES. Its non-surgical, drug-free approach to health places chiropractic among the safest of all health
care practices. Remember, chiropractic takes nothing out of the body and puts nothing in. As a result,
chiropractors enjoy one of the lowest malpractice rates of all health care professionals.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT ON MY FIRST VISIT?
Your initial visit will begin with a consultation. The doctor will take a history and ask about your health
concerns. Next, the doctor will perform an examination to evaluate the nature of your problem. This
examination includes a series of specialized chiropractic tests, including palpation, evaluation of spinal
movement and posture. If necessary, X-rays will also be taken. A second visit will be scheduled so the
doctor can explain the examination findings.
WHY DO CHIROPRACTORS TAKE X-RAYS?
Chiropractors take x-rays to reveal the internal structure and alignment of the spine. We are also
concerned about underlying disease processes and disorders of the spine such as spinal deterioration,
arthritis of the spine, abnormal development, bone spurs, disc disorders, and spinal curvature. X-rays
also provide a blueprint for correcting the spine back to optimal health and alignment.
IS A GOOD WORK-OUT THE SAME AS GETTING ADJUSTED?
No. Exercise is an important part of good health, yet without normal spinal function a physical workout
merely puts additional wear and tear on improperly functioning spinal joints.
IS IT OK TO SEE A CHIROPRACTOR IF I'M PREGNANT?
Anytime is a good time for a better functioning nerve system. Pregnant mothers find that chiropractic
adjustments improve their pregnancy and make delivery easier for themselves and their baby. Adjusting
methods are always adapted to a patients size, weight, age, and condition of health.
CAN CHILDREN SEE A CHIROPRACTOR?
Yes! It is easier to correct subluxation the sooner it happens, like after slips and falls as a child.
CAN A PERSON WHO HAD BACK SURGERY SEE A CHIROPRACTOR?
Yes. It's an unfortunate fact that up to half of those who had spinal surgery discover a return of their
original symptoms months or years later. They then face the prospect of additional surgery. This too
common occurrence is know as "Failed Back Surgery Syndrome." Chiropractic may help prevent
repeated back surgeries. In fact, if chiropractic care is initially utilized back surgery can often be avoided
in the first place.

SUBLUXATION DEGENERATION
Spinal Misaligment or Subluxation causes rapid decay of spinal bones,
simular to poor car alignment causes tires to wear out more quickly.

Normal Cervical X-Ray: SPINAL GRADE = A
Research has shown us that a normal, healthy spine
maintains an arc of approximately 60 degrees. This arc
offers the strongest defense against the destructive forces
of gravity.
