Dear Practice Members:

Chiropractic care is a philosophy of life.   The primary focus of  chiropractic care is not the "relief" of pain, but the expression of life.   Optimal bodily function, increased performance of every aspect of daily life and the nuturing of health are the benefits of a nervous system clear from spinal stress.   Unfortunately, the perception of chiropractic is one of back & neck pain.   This comes from the fact that when chiropractors perform their adjustments to allow the body's innate intelligence to express itself, there is a direct effect on the spinal musculature.  This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as balanced musculature is an aspect of increased performance and function.  But, to not latch onto the entire  major premise of chiropractic is likened to someone buying a complex computer system with all of the extra bells and whistles and then only using it as a typewriter.   The obvious potential for that computer is being wasted.   

Chiropractic needs to be understood from the perpective of science and philosophy.  The science being that the brian, spinal cord and spinal nerves control the function of every cell, tissue, organ, gland and system in the body and any interference in nerve impulses will effect function in the body.   Health is directly related to function, to be healthy everything in the body must function properly. Spinal subluxations impinge spinal nerves and disrupt the brain's ability to communcate with the body, negatively influencing function, performance, health and potential.    Thus the philosophy of chiropractic, regular spinal corrections preserve neural integrity, restoring and maintaining nerve impulses, allowing you to be all you can be, maximizing your health and potential.  Everybody is better off without subluxations.   This includes you, your spouse, partner, family members and most importantly your children.  Chiropractic, as health care, not pain relief, should be started early in life and continued for life.  Life, as in expression of and naturally the longevity of your life.
