Little Red Warning Light
When we experience pain, it's a sign or signal that our body sends to
tell us something is wrong. When we take medication for our aches and
pains, it masks the underlying problem. Just as cutting the wire to a
warning light in a car does not fix the vehicle's problem, taking medication
for our pain does not correct our health.
The Underlying Cause
Many of our every day aches and pains are caused by constant stress on
our joints. Things such as accidents, over-use, prolonged sitting or standing,
poor posture, tension, lack of exercise and even poor nutrition creates
dysfunction within the joints. Emotional stress causes our muscles to
tighten up, further contributing to joint dysfunction. Let's face it,
we are all subject to the physical and emotional stress. This continually
tears down our muscles and joints. Yes, even children!
The stress placed on our spinal bones causes an alteration in normal
alignment (normal position) and decreases normal motion of the joints.
This condition is called a spinal subluxation. When spinal joints are
not functioning properly it leads to pinched nerves, muscle spasm, disc
bulges/herniations and arthritic changes. The level of the spine that
is subluxated (misaligned) will determine what type of symptoms or pain
you experience.
Subluxations (misalignments) in the neck can cause headaches, neck pain,
as well as, numbness or tingling in the arms or hands, just to name a
few. Subluxations in the lower back can cause low back pain, hip pain,
and numbness or tingling in the legs. In the mid- back, subluxations can
cause mid back pain and often chest pain.

A Safer Alternative
Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that the nervous system
controls the function of every cell, tissue, and organ systems in your
body. The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord and millions
of nerves. The brain is protected by the skull, and the spinal cord is
protected by the 24 movable bones (vertebrae) of the spine .
The Doctor of Chiropractic looks for the underlying cause of your problem,
which in many cases is a subluxation (misalignment). This can cause nerve
interference. The chiropractic approach to better health is to detect
and correct subluxations (stuck, misaligned joints) in order to restore
normal nerve function.
By treating the underlying problem and allowing your body to heal itself,
it saves you time, money, and most importantly, your health!

How Safe is Chiropractic?
In the words of the New Zealand government inquiry, "Chiropractic care
is remarkably safe." Chiropractic has an excellent safety record. It is
the result of a conservative approach to health that avoids invasive procedures
or addictive drugs.
A thorough case history and examination help reveal areas of the spine
that may be causing nervous system malfunction. This information will
be used to determine the best course of care for each patient. Chiropractic
care is a natural approach to better health that is proven safe and effective.
