• Our first objective is to give you relief from any pain or other discomfort you might be having.  Sometimes pain relief is possible with the first chiropractic adjustment, but this is the exception.   Many chiropractic patients are able to get relief within the first few visits, while the remaining percentage of patients require a longer period of time due to the nature, severity, and duration of their conditions.

• Today's highly-trained Doctor of Chiropractic has spent thousands of hours - six years or more of college - earning his doctorate.  He has had extensive clinical experience with the human body and how to take care of it without drugs or surgery.

• Most conditions of pain or ill health are the result of some underlying cause within the body which must first be found before correction can be effected, pain relieved, and health restored and maintained.  Chiropractic has developed special techniques for locating the real, fundamental, original causes within the body which prevent natural health, and for correcting them so that normal, natural body functions may be restored to all the organs, tissues, and cells of the body.

• The Docotor of Chiropractic works with the nerves - both directly and indirectlly - because every function of your entire body is under the control of the nervous system.  Every organ, tissue, and cell is controlled by nerve impulses traveling from your brain to every part of your body.  Nerves make possible all physical movement as they transmit nerve supply to all the muscles, bones, and joints.  Nerves transmit all sensations to the brain.  Nerves make possible all sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing.  Nerves maintain your balance and keep your body at a normal 98.6 degrees.   Nerves make it possible to swallow  Nerves make your bowels move.  Nerves control your liver, lungs, heart, spleen, pancreas, gall bladder, and kidneys.  Nerves control circulation of blood.  In fact, as you can see, your nervous system is the master control of all other body systems...glandular, reproductive, digestive, eliminative, respiratory, and circulatory.  Complete, perfect, natural health comes only when you have a complete, perfect, natural, normally-functioning nervous system. 

• The Doctor of Chiropractic treats the SPINE because it houses and protects the spinal cord - the "switchboard" of the nervous system through which nerves pass from the brain as they carry nerve supply to all parts of the body.  The nerves branch off the spinal cord through openings between the movable spinal bones (vertebrae).  When these vertebrae, along with the discs between them, are out of alignment there can be interference (irritation) with the normal activity of the nerves.  This interference (irritation) can disturb normal function throughout the body and cause many conditions.   (similar to when you would park a car tire on a full garden hose and it stops the flow of water - it's the same with the nerves.)  

• Some patients mistake temporary relief for permanent correction, and discontinue chiropractic care when they begin to feel better.  Keep in mind that in order to get the maximum benefit from your chiropractic care, you must allow enough time for maximum correction of the causes of your condition, and permit the weakened muscles and ligaments to strengthen and adjust to their new positions.   

Straightening Spines is similar to straightening teeth -

Both take time and Repeated Treatments.
