Very soon Chiropractic will be celebrating another birthday. For over a century of success Chiropractic has been helping people of all ages regain and retain their health. Chiropractic is now the health care of choice for millions of parents and their children throughout the world. We are proud to do our part as our community’s pro-active health solution!
What Do We Do?
As Chiropractors, we are specially trained to locate and release deep stress and blockages in the body that create dis-ease, which can lead to lowered resistance, poor posture, pain, and physical and emotional illness.
Most people already know that we can help their families with a wide spectrum of problems, from headaches to back pain to breathing and digestive disorders and much more. But what most families don’t realize is that the best use of chiropractic care is as health and wellness care, to keep your body working at peak efficiency instead of waiting for painful symptoms to occur.
This modern approach to health care, to be proactive and pursue good body function rather than waiting until illness strikes, can save considerable suffering, and also considerable money – it costs less to keep yourself healthy than to get healthy once you have gotten sick.
Chiropractic is Safe, Gentle and Effective.
Chiropractic is the fastest growing drugless healing profession in the world today, serving over 2,000,000 people every day. Chiropractors maintain the lowest malpractice insurance rates of any primary health professionals in the world, which is a tremendous credit to the safety record throughout the entire chiropractic profession. People who are under regular chiropractic care are among the healthiest people in the world, requiring far less hospitalization, medication and medical doctor visits.
Chiropractic Works for All Ages!
Spinal misalignments can begin at birth and progress throughout life. Interruption to proper nerve flow can affect your overall health. Healthy cell metabolism, organ function and sharp mental focus are all jeopardized by decreased nerve flow.
Correcting spinal misalignments greatly improves the body’s ability to regain optimal health. It’s common to see whole families choosing chiropractic because no one is ever too young or too old to obtain a healthy nervous system for life.
If you have any questions regarding how you or someone you care for can benefit from Chiropractic care, call us and schedule a consultation.

As the temperature is peaking at the end of summer so is our children’s excitement as they begin their preparations for the upcoming school year. Each year we head to the stores with a long list of items that will fill a basket full and then be placed very tightly into our children’s school back packs. Unfortunately these over filled backpacks are heading our future generations into early pain and disease processes. According to figures from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, more than 7,000 children attend the ER each year due to backpack-related injuries. Unfortunately, this is a trend that will continue as more schools remove lockers from their premises, and thus children are forced to carry around with them extra books and bags for the entire day.
What Can Our Family Do?
To have your household avoid future unnecessary health risks here are some simple tips to follow:
- Make sure your child’s backpack weighs no more than 5 to 10 percent of his or her body weight. The backpack will cause your child to begin bending forward in an attempt to support the weight on his or her back rather than on the shoulders, by the straps.
- A backpack with individualized compartments will help you position the contents most effectively and ensure that your child’s sandwich isn’t flattened by a heavy textbook.
- When packing the backpack, make sure that pointy or bulky objects are packed away from the area that will rest on the child’s back. An uneven surface rubbing against your child’s back could cause painful blisters.
- Tell your child to use both shoulder straps, not just one. A backpack slung over one shoulder disproportionately shifts all of the weight to one side, and can cause not only neck and muscle spasms, but also low back pain.
- Padded shoulder straps are very important. Not only will they be more comfortable than non-padded straps, but they will also help prevent the straps from digging into your child’s shoulders.
- The shoulder straps should be adjustable, so the backpack can be fitted to your child’s body. Shoulder straps that are too loose can cause the backpack to dangle uncomfortably, and cause misalignment and pain.
- If the backpack is still too heavy, talk with your child’s teacher. It might be possible to leave the heaviest books at school, and bring home only lighter handout materials or work books.
Most importantly lead by example and teach them the why and how of good posture. Make it fun and persevere!
We Are Here to Help!
Our expert team is trained to diagnose and treat all ages, and can help if you or your children suffer from pain or discomfort from using a backpack. Treatment is geared to the age of the patient, with a more gentle approach for children. We also offer advice on specific exercises that can help you and your family develop stronger muscles, and on proper nutrition, good posture, and optimum sleeping habits.

Have you ever found what you were searching for was right in front of your face? For many of us our health solution is as simple as that. The key is to training ourselves to look and listen to our bodies and to learn where to look for the right solution for our future health care needs.
Look
Knowing where to look is the fastest way to find something. We help so many people recover their health because we know where to look.
One of the key foundations of chiropractic is that health is our natural state. If someone isn’t healthy, we look for what could be interfering with this natural state by looking for the underlying cause of the symptom.
We often find disturbances in the nervous system, producing a myriad of conditions. The most common source of compromise in this brain/body communication is from the moving bones of the spine. Symptoms are merely signs something in your body isn’t working correctly.
Each lifestyle choice contributes to the positive or negative effect of a person’s health. Regular vigorous physical exercise, a healthy diet, and sufficient rest are not the only factors to having a healthy body. A healthy spine helps keep your muscles and joints limber so you can maximize the benefits of your exercise. By identifying and correcting nerve interference, regular chiropractic care helps your digestive system to efficiently metabolize the nutrients that are the fuel for your cells rebuilding process . Chiropractic care even enables a better nights sleep by reducing unwanted pressure that is effecting your joints and causing pain. The better mobility and lack of inflammation allows your body to address , heal, and repair. A natural process that is to occur when you sleep. Overall, regular chiropractic care helps your body be more at ease and helps you enjoy increased health.
Although Chiropractic has been around for over one hundred years, the importance of Chiropractic care has only become more mainstream in the last few decades as pro-active health care has become more popular. The full benefits are now more readily seen and shared as rising health costs have more than tripled and insurance no longer covers a disease processes that could have been prevented with healthier lifestyles and optimally functioning nervous system.
Listen
Pain is your bodies best way to let you know that there is a problem in your body. The same premise holds true in regards to your spine. If your spine is not freely movable, you will likely begin to experience neck, mid back, or low back pain. As the inflammation or bodies natural protection system increase the mobility and pain increases. Our lifestyles are most often the attributable factor to our disease and pain processes. Unfortunately, most people are searching for a traumatic event to connect their aches and pains to.
Your vertebrae are incredibly important for they house and protect our spinal cord which is a direct extension of your brain. Your spinal cord connects your brain to the rest of your body through numerous pairs of spinal nerves. These spinal nerves branch out and create a complex communication network, sending signals from your brain to your body and from your body back to your brain. A mechanical problem in the spinal column can cause irritation to local spinal muscles, ligaments, and joints, which in turn can irritate spinal nerves and cause nerve interference. Nerve interference can cause disturbances in your body’s neural network, delaying nerve signals or causing information to be transmitted incorrectly or at the wrong time. Over time, symptoms develop in the affected region or regions as cells, tissues, and organs can no longer do their job effectively. Eventually, symptoms may develop into full-blown chronic diseases.
Learn
Prevention is the best strategy. Spinal Compression can be a silent killer that develops over time and can effect your entire nervous system and all of your life processes. A spinal screening performed by your local chiropractor is the best way of detecting underlying problems. Chiropractic care then corrects any nerve interference, helping your body perform optimally and if maintained relish long-lasting health and well-being.
Waiting for symptoms to appear before seeking help is becoming an increasing burden on our health care system and our well-being. And while it may be called “health” care, it’s actually sick care.
Chiropractors are leading the way with real health care that’s designed to keep you well. Not surprising, it’s called wellness care.

Are you a weekend warriors or a well-trained athlete who is suffering with an injury?
If so, let us explore on of your most often asked questions:
- When can I start exercising?
- When can I get back to my sport?
- What can I do to prevent this from happening again?
The answers to these questions are relatively straightforward. But for some, injuries continue to happen. Which leads to the key question:
- Why did this happen to me?
This is the hardest question to answer. Some injuries may occur even when you’re doing the things you’re supposed to be doing. Sometimes you just have to shrug your shoulders and move on. But it’s also very important to continue to try to discover the underlying causes.
Investigation Reveals
If we dig deeper, we’ll find that there are three main sources of training injuries: (1) under-preparation, (2) over-training, and (3) lack of focus or not paying attention.
Under-preparation means doing things you’re not ready to do. People who have never done aerobic exercise go out and try to run five miles. People who have never done strength training go to the gym and try to lift weights that are too heavy. People who have never taken a yoga class go to one, like it, and then go every day for a week.
These exercise patterns can be dangerous, physically, and may directly lead to injury. A 16-year-old teenager has some leeway and can get away with making a variety of training errors. This may even be true for those who are in their mid-20s. But persons who are older need to train on a trajectory. Good principles to follow include starting slowly, starting with the basics, and making sure to include rest days in your training program. Build up your strength and stamina. Doing more than you’re ready to do will send you straight to your chiropractor’s office or even to the hospital.
Over-training means doing too much. Most of us are guilty of this. For example, you love to run, you build up your weekly mileage to a good level, but then you keep piling on distance. All of a sudden you’ve got a stress fracture in your leg or a bad strain of a calf muscle.
How do you know when you’re over-training?
The key is to train smart, and to be aware of the possibility of over-training. The temptation to do more is always there, but the result is never good. The short-term gratification is completely outweighed by the frustration and loss of conditioning resulting from injury-enforced down-time.
What about focus and paying attention?
Many injuries happen during normal training because the person’s mind wandered off. People pay more attention to the TV or to their incoming text messages than they do to the equipment they’re using or the weight they’re lifting. The result is an injury, sometimes a bad one. In fact, you’re very unlikely to sustain an injury during normal training if you’re completely focused. Maintaining focus is part of the discipline of training.
A big part of the assessment process is the acquisition of knowledge. In the realm of exercise and fitness, some personal knowledge of bio-mechanics can go a very long way toward preventing injuries.
