Chiropractic holds that your basic health comes from within YOU.

It maintains that health principles are expressed through the nervous system - with the brain acting as a receiving and sending station. Normal health is a state in which there is no disturbance to nerve energy channels. Nerve energy must flow freely from the brain cells to tissues cells so that the glands, muscles, and organs may function normally.

BASIC PRINCIPLES

Chiropractic principles underline that the spine is the KEY to the nervous system and therefore to HEALTH, because all nerve trunks are distributed from the spinal column. Falls, twists, and other accidents sometimes cause a slight displacement of a vertebra and disc, partially blocking nerve channels. This irritates, or "pinches" nerves, disturbs the transmission of nerve energy, lowers body resistance, impairs function, causes discomfort, or possibly serious conditions with much pain.

Chiropractors scientifically locate and adjust this spinal cause of many health problems. They generally use only their hands to make the spinal adjustments which release the life force trapped within the 'pinched' nerve. Once this health principle of God-given creative force is released, it tends to normalize function and to RESTORE HEALTH TO YOUR BODY within a reasonable length of time.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

  1. Chiropractic is a distinct science of healing, based on well-demonstrated evidence that health comes from within. The procedures employed by a Chiropractor are not used in any other healing art. If the need for other methods were indicated, you would have been referred to another type of specialist.
  2. A Chiropractor will endeavor to clear your nerve channels with the proper spinal adjustments, given at the proper time. Please do not try to help things along with self-administered remedies which, instead of helping, may improve harmful.
  3. Don't be in a hurry! No chiropractor can perform miracles. Realignment of the skeletal framework of the body is a difficult and sometimes time-consuming process. Ligaments and muscles must shift and realign themselves to fit the changing bones. This is a natural process, a permanent rearrangement, and can not be hurried.
  4. Let your Chiropractor determine how adjustments should be given- and how often. A spinal analysis reveals what should be done in your case. Tell the Chiropractor your symptoms and then follow the instructions given.
  5. When rest after an adjustment is recommended, please cooperate and really try to relax fully.
  6. Everyone has a right to benefit from the best health care. Feel free to tell others about your experience with the Chiropractor. Passing on good suggestions helps anyone, and you very well may help someone who has not been so fortunate in the quest for health and happiness.
  7. When you begin to feel better- tell us. When you have an off day, we want to know that, too. Give us all the facts that we may better understand the healing progress that is taking place in your body.
  8. Tell your friends only the facts about chiropractic care in your case- without exaggeration or distortion. Careless expressions such as "cracking the neck," "popping the bones," and "breaking your back" tend to frighten sick or nervous people. This is especially true of children, for whom chiropractic care can do so much. These people have the right to know the truth...that chiropractic care is science, and that adjustments are skillful, specific manipulations that will not harm or endanger the body of even a tiny infant.
  9. Please check your insurance policies. They may cover all, or a substantial portion, of your chiropractic care. If in doubt, you may wish to bring your policies with you to your next appointment.
  10. We will appreciate 24 hours notice if your appointment must be changed or canceled. If this is not possible, then please give us as much advanced notice as you can so that someone else may be scheduled into your time.

KNOW YOURSELF

If you know how the organs and glands of your body function, you will cease to be alarmed by many symptoms that may now have you worried.

One of the first things to overcome is fear. Doctors know fear, worry, and anxiety make any condition worse.

The elements of health are within your body, struggling for expression. Spinal nerve inference usually restricts this expression and results in many health problems. Chiropractors find and adjust this basic cause. When this is accomplished, normal health may be expected to follow.

"Can chiropractic help me?" "How long will it take to get well?" To reach a justifiable and sincere answer to these questions, five things must be considered:

1. Your age
2. The degree to which the disease or ailment has progressed.
3. The reserve vitality in your body which does the "healing"
4. Our ability as chiropractors.
5. Time you will allow for recovery.

Do your best- and we will do ours.
