Vertebral Subluxation

This condition occurs when a bony segment of the human spine becomes misaligned in relation to the vertebra above or below it. A segment shifts slightly to the right as you are looking at it. If the movement is sufficient, it will close off the opening through which nerves exit from the spinal column.

These nerves carry life energy- the power that runs your body- from the brain to every cell in your body. Vertebral subluxations impinge upon the vital nerve supply and interfere with the transmission of life messages from brain cells to tissue cells. The result is malfunction, disorder, and disease.

Chiropractors have, as their sole purpose, worked on correcting vertebral subluxations. By skillfully and painlessly introducing a gentle force onto the spine, the chiropractor is able to correct a vertebral subluxation. Thus opening the channels between the brain cells and tissue cells allowing a free flow of vital life energy to all parts of the body, restoring the body to a state of health. To heal, nature needs no help-just no interference.

Prevention is Key to Better Health

I just wanted to share this with you as you are important and how to keep your health and how to keep it at it’s optimal level, as no one likes to be sick.

It’s the season for sickness- getting flu shots, Kids’ asthma acting up, and ear infections plaguing the preschools. If you don’t believe me, just watch the TV. These ailments are painful and treatments for each can be costly. Prevention can be the key to getting through the season a bit healthier.

Prevention is the key to health and wellness, and we can provide some tips and guidance on health care maintenance for families this upcoming flu season.

CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING:
-In the United States, asthma cases have increased by more then 60% since the early 1980’s. Researchers don’t know why cases of asthma are increasing at such an alarming rate. Some say genetics and environmental exposure to allergens play a role.

-Asthma is a chronic disease; most people believe it can’t be cured-only controlled- and we believe chiropractic care can be helpful in treatment results.

-Ear infections can be painful, difficult to treat, and account for more then 35% of all pediatric visits. Standard treatment is with antibiotics, but repeated doses of antibiotics can lead to drug-resistant bacteria in which case drugs do not help. More parents are turning to us and chiropractic care to help with chronic ear infections.

Some preventative tips to aid in keeping health this winter season are as simple as hand washing, using air filters in the home, and adding supplements like good nutritional vitamin C.
