THE FOLLOWING ILLUSTRATES THE MANY ASPECTS ALONG YOUR JOURNEY TO HEALTH.  OUR GOAL IS FOR YOU TO EXPERIENCE OPTIMUM HEALTH BY REDUCING THE DEVASTATING EFFECTS OF THE VERTEBRAL SUBLUXATION.  NO ONE CAN BE HEALED WHO PRACTICES DEGENERATIVE LIFESTYLE HABITS. " IT'S NOT WHAT YOU DO SOME OF THE TIME, IT'S WHAT YOU DO MOST OF THE TIME THAT COUNTS. "

1-Our first priority is to get you out of pain/sickness ASAP

2- To encourage you to stabilize your physiology, which will take time.  All healing takes time

3- To teach you that you are responsible for your health (physical, chemical, emotional) and your pathway to health should be holistically oriented, non-invasive and non-toxic (chiropractic care). therefore surgery and pharmaceutical drugs should be eliminated or minimized.

4- We will adjust your spine to release the healing mechanism, so maintain your appointment schedule and do your exercises regularly

5- Your body creates energy, then releases this energy to be used by all the systems, organs, cells and tissues, then eliminates toxic waste.  This internal guidance system (homeostasis) keeps your body in balance and healthy.  

6- These adjustments, over a period of time, are designed to promote the regenerative process.  The adjustment strives to re-establish balance (alignment of the spine) and equilibrium (homeo-stasis-internal balance).  This exciting pathway to health is called Herring's Law of Healing : "All healing starts from above, down, inside out and in reverse order as the symptoms have appeared."

Factors That Influence Health -

Pollution-  Environmental toxicity affecting the auto-immune system. Misuse of toxic pesticides, insecticides, crop spraying, mercury, lead, chlorine, sulfur, greenhouse effect.  Destruction of the balanced ecosystem affecting the nervous system.

Pharmaceutical Drugs -  Chemicalization of our bodies from infants to senior citizens.  Overuse of drugs like Prozac, Ritalin, Valium, Darvon, Ibuprofen, decongestants, antihistamines.  BE DRUG FREE.

Structure Relates to Function - A curve is more flexible than a straight line.  The structural design of your spine has multiple curvatures resulting in flexibility.  Your spinal column is incredibly resilient under stress.

Structural Distortions -  Creating distorted function.  The car, once wrecked, does not resume its former function overnight, therefore healing takes time.  HAVE YOUR SPINE CHECKED FOR WHIPLASH. 

Violent Births - Most of our childhood problems, ADD, asthma, allergies, ear infections, tonsillectomies, bedwetting, result from traumatic births and suppression of symptoms thru drugs.  HAVE YOUR CHILD'S SPINE CHECKED.

Food Chain -  Misuse of toxic pesticides. Declining nutritional value of food. Demineralization of our soil. Chemicalization of our beverages, Nutrasweet, MSG, and excitotoxins.  BE ADJUSTED.

VERTEBRAL SUBLUXATION - Altered structure (curves) of the spinal column creates altered function, resulting in lowered resistance (immunity) to dis-ease.  .  The vertebral subluxation will go thru various stages of degeneration unless the body is stabilized thru chiropractic care.  The regeneration process is initiated, resulting in increased health, chemical balance and emotional well-being.

STAGES  OF HEALTH 

A - DEGENERATION -     

Associated Signs and Symptoms -   Constant symptoms, fatigue, tissue decay, suppression thru drugs.

Factors That Undermine Health -        Cortisone, heavy drugs, hardening of the arteries, chemotherapy, radiation, maligancies, fatigue.                  .

B- CHRONIC-                      

Associated Signs and Symptoms -   Seasonal symptoms, Low metabolism, Toxic accumulation, Suppression of symptoms.

Factors That Undermine Health -        Heavy accumulation of congestion, suppression thru sulfer drugs, Prozac, Valium, Ritalin, Asthma 

C- ACUTE/SUBACUTE -   

Associated Signs and Symptoms -  Elevated symptoms, inflammation, pain, fever, sinus congestion, healing crisis    

Factors That Undermine Health -  Mucus drainage, suppressed symptoms thru OTC drugs, fatigue, coughs, allergies, muscle spasms, headaches, back pain, ADD.              .

D- STABILIZE, PREVENTION -  

Associates Signs and Symptoms -  Strong immunity, Increased adaptability,  Structural Alignment, Acid/Alkaline balance, Emotional  Well-being. 

Factors That Undermine Health -    Congestion, fatigue, over-training, overwork, intense emotional stress, emotional instability, lack of exercise, enviornmnmental toxicity.

LOSS OF CERVICAL CURVE -  Loss of structural integrity, curvature, motion, restrictions and distortions of the spine.  The body adapts thru acute, subacute, chronic, degenerative pathway, unless adjusted to reverse this process by restoring homeostasis ( the regenerative process of the body).

OPTIMAL CERVICAL CURVE -  Structural integrity intact, spinal curvatures are functioning at optimal potential, mobility restored, structure relates to function, function relates to structure.  Homeostasis is operating at peak performance and health is attained.
