Chiropractic is natural health care based on three scientific principles:

1. The body is a self-healing organism under the control of the nervous system.
2. Misalignments of the vertebra in the spine cause irregular input to the nervous system (Chiropractic Subluxation Complex).
3. Irregular input to the nervous system causes the body and its systems to be imbalanced. (Results in a decreased ability to remain healthy as well as pain/numbness/dysfunction in the head, neck, back, arms and legs.)

Chiropractic is the science of detecting and correcting spinal misalignments that cause irregular input to the nervous system, restoring balance to the body and its systems. Normal health is the natural result.


The Body's Communication Network
The nervous system works like a telephone network carrying messages between the brain and the body. When the nervous system is working correctly, the body has the proper information to heal itself and maintain balance of all your systems.


Is Static Causing an Imbalanced Body?
Static on the telephone line interferes with the messages being sent. If the nervous system has "static" (irregular input), the messages between the brain and the body will be interrupted. A misalignment of the vertebra of the spine may cause distortion, and body imbalance results. When a Vertebral Misalignment causes the nervous system to initiate imbalances of the body systems, it is known as a Vertebral Subluxation Complex, or in simpler terms: loss of body balance.

Detecting and Correcting the Cause

Chiropractors search for the cause of the problem like engineers search for the cause of the "static." Once the cause is determined, the goal of the chiropractor is to correct it. If the misalignment is removed, the body can return to a state of balance.

Working as a TEAM
A winning team requires cooperation from each member. The role of your chiropractor is to restore spinal balance. Your role is to balance the other parts of your life... good nutrition, physical activity, enough rest, and a positive attitude. Go team!

 

Orthospinology is a procedure within the field of chiropractic.

Orthospinology is based on the work of Dr. John F. Grostic that began in 1946. It has been researched in the chiropractic colleges and individual offices for over 50 years. It is one of the main procedures researched and published in the Chiropractic Research Journal, a peer-reviewed journal.


The Cutting Edge of Technology
Orthospinology uses the latest in chiropractic technology to detect and correct irregular input to the nervous system. Diagnostic images of the spine are carefully analyzed. The chiropractor mathematically calculates the formula to gently produce the spinal correction.

Focus on Body Balance
When the body is balanced, it is in a state of health. Body imbalance results from irregular input to the nervous system. The Orthospinologist will check to see if your body is balanced on every visit. If it is not, a spinal correction will be given. Are you balanced?

Gentle Enough For the Whole Family

The Orthospinology spinal correction is gentle enough for an infant or a grandmother with arthritis. Orthospinology is effective care for spines of all ages. The gentle correction is made by a chiropractic adjusting instrument or by hand.


The Chiropractic Orthospinologist utilizes several methods to determine if irregular input to the nervous system is removed after the spinal correction is made.
