| People like chiropractors because they approach health in a natural, safe, and drug-free manner. |
|
| What is Chiropractic? |
| Chiropractic is a system of healthcare that releases a serious stress from your body: the vertebral subluxation complex (VSC or subluxation). A subluxation is an often painless,
tiny spinal distortion that can affect your nerves, muscles, internal organs, discs, bones, brain function, posture, and overall health.
|
|
| How do we get subluxations? |
Subluxations are caused by stress of all kinds: poor posture, accidents, sitting or working in the same position for long periods, and sport. Even emotional stress can suddenly
knock us "out of whack." Adults can carry subluxations in their bodies that were originally caused by stressful birth or a childhood fall. Unless they have a chiropractic spinal checkup, these long-standing
subluxations may never be corrected. Adults may then develop physical and/or emotional unease or body malfunctions and subsequent health problems due to these long-standing subluxations. Studies reveal
that nearly everyone has subluxations in their spine; it is a "hidden epidemic." For that reason, you and your family need to have your spines checked periodically by a chiropractor, just as you would
get your eyes, teeth, and blood pressure checked.
Insure your spinal health with a chiropractic checkup.
|
|
| What does a chiropractor do? |
Your chiropractor is specially trained to analyze your body for subluxations. Using special chiropractic spinal "adjustment" techniques, your chiropractor safely, gently, and
painlessly corrects your subluxations, ridding your body of this dangeous condition.
Chiropractic's goal is to awaken your "inner healer."

|
| Why choose chiropractic? |
| Each year millions of people are enjoying the most popular natural, drug-free healthcare system in the world:chiropractic! Chiropractic helps people function closer to their
physical and emotional best, recover from sickness, disease, and disability faster and minimize the use of drugs and surgery in their in their lives. Many who choose a chiropractic lifestyle report less
stress, more vitality and more enjoyment in life!
|
| People like chiropractors because they approach healthcare in a unique manner. Instead of diagnosing and treating diseases, your chiropractor's purpose is to enhance your health
by analyzing your spine and eliminating your vertebral subluxations. Without subluxations, your body and mind functions better and heals better, and you will feel better. The medical approach of waiting
for symptoms to appear before addressing one's health is limiting; by the time the symptoms first appear you could have been deteriorating for years. The chiropractic approach is to get your body working
well now! You could have subluxations in your spine for years, eating away at your health, unawared. Chiropractors can analyze your spine and locate (and correct) your subluxations before symptoms appear.
Of course, if you are presently ill and suffering, you need your natural healing ability enhanced so you can better fight diseases and return yourself to a state of balance and health. That is a fact no
matter what disease or condition you may have. By correcting your subluxations, chiropractors help activate your natural healing ability to function at its optimal state; to awaken your "inner healer."
That's why an increasing number of people are seeing chiropractors for health problems, but not only for health problems. Many people are also seeing chiropractors to maintain and enhance their health,
for better sports performances, for natural immunity, and a drug-free lifestyle.

| A unique place |
Chiropractic occupies a unique place in modern healthcare. It draws upon modern scientific knowledge of anatomy and physiology using X-rays, infrared, electronic scanners, and other
tools, yet chiropractic respects the ancient concepts of self healing, life energy, and a holistic approach to health. Your chiropractor's goal is to turn on your "inner healer" and awaken your natural healing
ability. So if you are tired of being sick and tired, tired of being told "you've just got to learn to live with it," and is looking for a natural method of regaining health and wholeness without polluting your
body with chemicals and worrying about side effects, why not join the millions who have discovered the wonders of this amazing healthcare system? Why live with health problems when you can live without them?
Discover chiropractic and discover how natural healing can be.

| How was chiropractic discovered? |
| Modern chiropractic was discovered in Davenport, Iowa, in 1895 when Dr. D.D. Palmer performed the first chiropractic "spinal adjustment" on his deaf janitor, Harvey Lillard.
Lillard's hearing returned and Palmer thought he had discovered a cure for deafness. But as patients with digestive troubles, sciatica, menstrual troubles, migraine headaches, epilepsy, heart problems,
back pain, and many other conditions responded to his "hand treatments" (as he first called them), Palmer then realized that he had discovered something more far-reaching.

| The chiropractic lifestyle |
Chiropractors are experts in the care of the bones, nerves, muscles, and connective tissues that makeup about 60% of your body. All of the joints in your body are part of this
musculo-skeletal system and its optimal function is necessary for overall good health.
Ask your chiropractor for more information about a care program that may include specific spinal adjustments, exercise recommendations, nutritional advice, or other conservative methods of care based on your
health history, age, current condition, and lifestyle.
