More About Chiropractic

As chiropractors, we investigate the way that the human body works. In our efforts to help our patients, we rely on our knowledge of the cells, tissues, organs, and systems that make up the human body. But we are more than the sum of our parts. And chiropractic is much more than a treatment for pain.

There is a life force, evidenced by the movement of energy through our bodies, that is the difference between a live being and something that is not alive. Even with all of our parts in tact, without the ability to move energy through our systems, we are unable to survive. In fact, the stronger our life force becomes, the more efficiently we are able to move our energy, and the more we are able to thrive. Chiropractic is chiefly concerned with strengthening this life force through adjusting subluxations.

When we encounter forces and experiences that we are unable to completely resolve, our bodies respond by creating subtle distortions throughout our tissues including our spine. These distortions read as tension in our bodies and allow us both to continue despite the stress of the unresolved force and to adapt to that experience in such a way that we may learn from it when the time is right. Chiropractic recognizes these tension patterns and subtle misalignments as subluxations. Subluxation patterns compromise the free flow of innate intelligence, that vital life force that animates our being.

Using gentle chiropractic adjusting techniques, I adjust the subluxation patterns present to restore the movement of vital life force or innate intelligence within you.
