Don't Worry... Be Healthy
Ever woken up in the middle of the night wondering how you were going to pay the bills? Then you know that a car payment or the electric bill can affect your health!There are three types of stress: physical, emotional and chemical. Financial worries (and other anxieties) fall into the emotional stress category. And chiropractic can be helpful.
All three types of stress affect your nervous system. Like a chain that breaks at its weakest link, stress tends to show up where we are most vulnerable. Our neck. Our low back. Tightness between our shoulders. Stress can increase the frequency of headaches and compromise our ability to get enough restful sleep.
Chiropractic care, with its purpose of reducing neurological stress, can be helpful. Of course chiropractic care can't eliminate stress, but it can improve your ability to tolerate it. Regular chiropractic care now could be a wise investment for a healthier, happier and financially secure you!

Fully You
When chiropractors observe that chiropractic care has helped people with a wide variety of health problems, some mistakenly think that means that we treat disease. However, nothing could be further from the truth.The fact is, we locate and help reduce nervous system disturbances (usually along the spine) that interfere with your ability to be fully you. Being fully you includes everything from bending, walking and sleeping to breathing, fighting infection and healing a cut.
When the integrity of your nervous system is revived, your body is more likely to work as it was designed. For some, that capacity returns quickly. For others, it's slower. For a few who have neglected their health, progress can be so slow as to even appear ineffective.
Please don’t blame chiropractic when results come slowly. Likewise, don’t credit chiropractic when success comes quickly. It’s your body that does the healing. What you bring to the table is actually more important than what we do on the table!
Wanting More
What are you hoping to get from your chiropractic care? Less pain? Less tightness? Or more health? More movement? Or more life?Many people begin care because they have an ache or a pain they want to silence. In other words, they start out wanting less. As they learn what chiropractic care is (and what it isn’t) they discover it could offer more. More of what they really want. Participating in that discovery is one of the greatest joys of our practice.
Some don’t see the implication between a proactive (more) and a reactive (less) approach to their health. Instead, they prefer to come in only when they have obvious symptoms. No worries. We love them just as much. Everyone shows up at a different place on this journey of self discovery. We’re merely here to serve, whether they want less or more.
What's Your Tuba Player?
Your brain and nervous system is the conductor that orchestrates the workings of your entire body. With clear communication, the beautiful music we know as “life” is produced.But many people have a problem with their tuba player! For some the tuba player could be their thyroid. Or their gall bladder. Or their stomach. Or their lower back. Or whatever.
Their tuba player can’t see the conductor! That causes one of two things. Sometimes the tuba player just sits quietly. Other times, the tuba player goes overboard.
The medical approach would be to surgically remove or chemically suppress the tuba player. The chiropractic approach is to restore the connection between the tuba player and the conductor. Naturally, that involves locating and correcting interference to the controlling commands that travel over the nervous system.
Chiropractic care can bring harmony to your music of life!

Normal vs. Average
You weigh yourself on the scales.
You take the temperature of your child.
A doctor takes your pulse and measures your blood pressure.
These measurements are compared with hundreds of other people from which averages are obtained. Which begs the question, is average normal?
Averages have a place, but they can distort reality and treat us as if we were mechanisms, like a wristwatch.
Most watches don’t know when you’ve changed time zones. Or that daylight savings time has ended.
In other words, your wristwatch doesn’t have the intelligence to adapt to the environment. But your body does.
That’s why we don’t see fevers, elevated blood pressure or other such findings as the problem. They’re just signs that the body is adapting to something.
What’s really going on?
Is this a recent problem?
A lifestyle issue?
The result of a new stress in your life?
We’re interested in you, not just your symptoms. Because what’s normal for you may not be normal for me.
