Chiropractors, scientists, and experts agree that in order to be healthy you must understand four points.

1. There is a greater dimension to health than just feeling good. "Health is a state of optimal physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity" -Dorland’s Medical Dictionary In other words, in order to be healthy, you must have all the parts of your body functioning properly throughout your entire lifetime.
2. Experts agree the key to health is function. You and I can’t replace missing body parts, therefore, the key to health is function. Since the nerve system controls the function of all the parts of the body, we must keep it free of interference to be healthy. If you interfere with the nerve system you will lose optimum function and health.
3. The major interference to the nerve system is the Vertebral Subluxation Complex causing malfunction and ill-health. There are many ways to damage the nerve system. Research indicates that emotional, chemical, and physical stressors to the brain are near equal in frequency. There are over 83,000 toxic chemicals in our environment. Only 200 of them are required by the FDA to be tested for safety. These toxic chemicals set up unhealthy patterns in the brain. Emotional stressors are very difficult to avoid as well. Physical stressors in the form of falls, slips, accidents or lifting something too heavy or sitting in a chair at work all day, all contribute to stressors to the brain and nerve system. These patterns in turn create the Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC), the most frequent cause of damage to the nerve system. VSC is a condition where the spine malfunctions which then interferes with the spinal cord and the nerves exiting from the spinal cord, resulting in body malfunction and ill health. This sometimes (research shows a mere 1% of VSC result in a symptom), but not always produces symptoms that the patient can feel. The danger is that treating the back symptoms only will not correct the spinal/nerve problem. This is where our office enters the picture
4. There are three steps to correcting the VSC and regaining health: Initial Intensive Care... .Chiropractic can generally help you during the Initial Intensive relief phase of care by reducing the pain and symptoms without drugs or surgery. Since the nerve system controls every part of your body, studies show that 90% of patients not only get relief, but other health problems clear up also.

Reconstructive Care... After relief care, you’ll begin Reconstructive Care. You’ll feel a return of vitality and peak performance as the spine and nerve system continue through the correction process. More than feeling good, you’ll begin to regain your health: optimum physical, mental and social well-being.

Wellness Care... Long term prevention and Wellness Care provide a sensible, cost-effective approach to real health. During Wellness Care, scientists have found the immune system works better and children who undergo care from birth are healthier.
