Traditionally, chiropractors have been identified with back and neck pain. Chiropractors have been helping patients rid themselves of pain easily for over 100 years. If you have neck, mid back or lower back pain chiropractic can often help. When joints of the spine are misaligned they rub on the joints above and below. And when a bone rubs on another bone it is very painful. By gently re-aligning these bones you restore normal pain free movement.

Proper spinal alignment is not just limited to improving pain. The spine houses the nerve system which controls the functions of the entire body. The brain sends messages down the spinal cord and out between the tiny hard bones of the spine to communicate and control the function of every organ and gland. Spinal misalignments place a hard bone on a soft nerve causing interferences with this communication system, impairing messages traveling to the body. These normal messages transmit nerve flow on how to control, repair and maintain the health all of the bodies organ systems. When blocked the body malfunctions and creates dis-ease (lack of harmony) in organs. Removing the spinal misalignment helps to reverse the dis-ease. There is not a medication in the world that doesn't mimic the bodies on natural healing ability. When you release the interference the body can heal.

If you have problems with spinal alignment you will either have pain or grinding when doing, or be unable to do one of the following. Here's a quick check to see if you have spinal misalignments:

1. Turn your head to the right. Your right eye should be directly over your shoulder.
2. Turn to the left. Your left eye should be directly over your left shoulder.
3. Look down. Your chin should touch your chest.
4. Look up. The back of your head should touch your upper back.
5. Bend forward and touch your toes. You should be able to touch your toes.

Most parents won't blink an eye when it comes to routine visits to the dentist and pediatrician for check-ups for their kids. Appointments are scheduled to check a child's eyes, ears, nose, but rarely to check their spine. Just as a routine checkup to the dentist can prevent serious dental problems, a spinal checkup performed by a Chiropractor could prevent serious spinal problems and may maximize your child's life.

Children will triple in size from birth to the age of 1. A large percentage of their nerve system (brain and spinal cord) will be developed by the age of 7. Each year we check infants less than two weeks old. By improving a child's spinal alignment, you also improve the function of their brain and nervous system. It is not uncommon for kids checked in our office to be two to three months ahead developmentally.

The reason a child's spine should be checked is because their tiny bones can be misaligned from: childbirth, falls while learning to crawl and walk, traumas and athletic events. Just as an uncorrected cavity can lead to a root canal, uncorrected spinal alignment can lead to spinal disease and problems with the nervous system.

The most common reason's children schedule a visit to our office is for: ADD/ADHD, autism, allergies and ear infections. Chiropractic has been proven to strengthen the immune system and brain function. Prior to Chiropractic many of our patients had chronic sickness and conditions that lead to prolonged use of medicine and possibly surgical intervention. We know that a healthy immune system results in an effective defense mechanism against many ailments.
