What
Is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a system of health care that releases one of the most
serious forms of stress from your body: The Vertebral Subluxation
Complex which can affect your nerves, muscles, internal organs,
discs, bones, brain and weaken your overall health. Chiropractic has
become the largest drugless health care profession in the world because
it has helped millions of people recover from sickness, disease and
disability with minimal use of drugs or surgery.

How Do
I get Spinal Subluxations?
From Stress. It may occur in infancy from a difficult birth or from
childhood falls. Later in life, emotional tension or stress can gradually
damage your spine or violent injuries from automobile accidents or sports
can suddenly knock your neck and/or spinal column out of alignment.
Repetitive motions, lifting, poor diet and exposure to chemicals such
as drugs, alcohol and cigarette smoke are some other common causes of
subluxations.
Nearly everyone eventually gets vertebral subluxations. It is a "hidden
epidemic" in our society and for this reason it is extremely important
that you have your spine checked for this condition by a doctor of chiropractic.
It is as important as getting your eyes, ears, teeth and/or blood pressure
checked!
It is not uncommon to have vertebral subluxations and not even know
it. Like tooth decay or cancer, subluxations can be present before warnings
signs appear. The results of a thorough examination can show the location
and severity of subluxations you may have.
