Chiropractic care has
proven to be a safe, natural, drugless
way to good health for millions of
people around the world.
WELCOME
You are joining many of your neighbors
who have chosen the natural, drugless,
chiropractic approach to good health.
Chiropractic is the health care of the
21st century; it is an
exciting new world of healing and health
optimization.
People see their Doctor of Chiropractic
for many different reasons. To some,
chiropractic is a system of healing
musculoskeletal problems- back, neck,
disc, arm, shoulder, leg, hip, joint,
nerve and muscle pain or discomfort.
Others use chiropractic as a natural
system of healing from diseases or
conditions including: headaches;
fatigue; high blood pressure; skin
conditions; PMS; menstrual cramps;
arthritis; asthma; sinus trouble;
digestive problems; nervous stress;
emotional disorders; fevers;
bed-wetting; colic; and ear, eye, nose
and throat problems without drugs and
surgery.
Others use chiropractic as a method of
keeping their health at its peak: for
better sports performance, higher
resistance to disease, clearer thinking,
a more comfortable pregnancy and more
energy. For whatever reason you are
here, we say “Welcome.”
What Can Chiropractic
Do for Me?
Our goal in this office is to turn your
health around by relieving you of a
serious form of spine and nerve damage
called the vertebral subluxation complex
(also called a “subluxation”).
Subluxations affect your internal
organs, including your brain. The
effects can be immediate or they may
take time- it depends on many
factors-age, diet, lifestyle and
regularity of care.
What Happens if I have
an Unhealthy Spine?
An unhealthy spine is characterized by
bad posture, tight and tense muscles,
“pinched” nerves, bone and disc
degeneration, lowered resistance to
disease, fatigue and overall body
malfunction. This state is also called
dis-ease, meaning “general lowered
health.” When a person has a dis-ease,
they can fall prey to all kinds of
diseases and health conditions.
To make things more complicated,
subluxations may be painless; you may
have many in your spine for years before
you begin to feel their destructive
effects.
A Unique Approach
What makes a chiropractic unique is its
vitalist approach to health. By that we
mean that we don’t want you to wait for
a “condition” or problem to arise before
you address your health. Wee want you to
correct subtle body malfunction (dis-ease)
caused by subluxations now, while you
still feel relatively good and have the
energy to self-heal. If you wait until
your body has massive subluxation
degeneration (spinal degeneration) it
may be too late for complete recovery.
What Can I Expect?
Chiropractic care is divided into two
parts- spinal analysis and spinal
adjustment (or correction).
First we will analyze your spine using
various tools-our hands, X-ray,
heat-reading devices, muscle testing
and/or other tools to determine where
there is a subluxation in your spine.
When we have located the precise area of
your subluxation, we will then do a
procedure to correct or eliminate the
subluxation. This is the second part of
your care and it is called a
chiropractic spinal adjustment. It is a
gentle re-alignment of your spinal
column, a re-balancing of your body and
a release of deep stress
Chiropractors spend many years
perfecting various spinal adjusting
procedures and we’d be happy to answer
your questions about how we do what we
do.
Three Phases of
Chiropractic Care
As you begin chiropractic care you will
start at the first of the following
three phases:
Intensive Care Phase
In this phase your spine is out of
balance and not holding its adjustment.
Please cooperate in keeping your
appointments and modifying your
lifestyle in ways that will help you get
out of the intensive care phase quickly.
Reconstructive Phase
Your spine is beginning to stabilize and
hold its adjustments for longer periods.
In this phase our objective is to
monitor your spine as it strengthens.
Many of your symptoms and complaints may
have disappeared or decreased in this
phase. It is critical however that you
continue your visits even if you are
feeling better.
Health Enhancement
Phase
In this phase your spine is now holding
its adjustment and has become reasonably
stable. It is handling stress well.
Regular care not only keeps you
subluxation-free, but studies reveal
that the more you visit your
chiropractor, the healthier your
physical and emotional health and the
less stress and more enjoyment you get
out of life.
In Conclusion
Chiropractic care has proven to be a
safe, natural, drugless way to good
health for millions of people around the
world. Please remember that your doctor
of chiropractic’s purpose is the removal
of the vertebral subluxation complex- to
awaken your body’s inner healer.
Please pass on this chiropractic message
to friends so they may come in for a
spinal checkup. IT could make the
difference between health and disease.
They’ll never know until they get their
spines checked |
