You have
been in an accident
Trauma can cause spinal misalignments in the body which can in
turn distort your structure and irritate your nerves, bones,
ligaments and discs. Any accident, no matter how minor, can create
nerve-damaging misalignments. We can give you a spinal check-up
to ensure that your spine is free from these health-compromising
changes and to prevent any long-term damage.
You have a sports- or work-related injury
Repetitive stress or overuse at work or play can irritate
spinal nerves. This may in turn negatively affect one's
range of motion, strength, reflexes, endurance, and, ultimately,
performance. Chiropractic can help your body restore normal
nerve function and help you get back to your peak in both
play and work.
You are simply in pain
Interruption of proper nerve flow, for whatever reason, can
eventually lead to pain, disability, and an overall decrease
in the quality of life. You don't need to live with it,
we can help you get to the root of the problem, set your
body up to heal, and restore your health.
You are pregnant
The additional weight and stress on the framework of the
body during pregnancy can cause pain in almost any part
of the body. Because pregnant women are often reluctant
to take any over-the-counter and prescription pain relievers,
they often turn to chiropractic care to help alleviate
pains associated with pregnancy. In addition, we can also
offer lifestyle (especially nutrition and exercise) advice
specific to the expectant mother.
You have a "little one"
Babies and children grow quickly, and their muscles, ligaments,
and bones develop rapidly. A jump, tumble, or fall can
jar the body, affect the spine (and possibly the nervous
system), and then go undetected for years. Even simple
factors, such as a heavy backpack or an ill-fitting car
seat, can have negative effects on a child's health.
With these things in mind, it's evident that babies and
children have much to gain from chiropractic care. Regular
spinal exams can provide corrective and preventive care for "little
ones," as well as peace of mind for the parent.
Parents of small children also have much to gain. We can
offer advice regarding how to pick up and carry a child and,
for post-partum mothers, an assessment of any structural
changes that may have occurred during pregnancy, labor, and/or
delivery.
You have a "big one" (i.e., a teenager)
Teenagers' bodies are also growing at a rapid rate. This
combined with the fact that teenagers often think they
are invincible, sets them up for a wide range of physical
problems.
Imagine your teenager hearing from someone other than you
the benefits of proper diet, exercise, posture, and other
good lifestyle habits! With regular visits to your doctor
of chiropractic, your "big one" will have a body
that is structurally and functionally sound, and head start
on a life of good health.
You are in your "Golden Years"
There are numerous physical problems associated with aging,
and drugs and surgery are often prescribed to treat these
problems. There is little, if any, attention paid to actually
fixing these problems— and little or no emphasis
on preventing them.
But you need not succumb. Chiropractors understand the effects
of aging and have been helping folks deal with the aches
and pains associated with aging for decades. As with other
patients, we diagnose the ailment, determine what's causing
it, and then choose from a variety of gentle therapeutic
techniques to alleviate it.
We can also guide you through simple changes in your lifestyle
(e.g., diet, exercise, stress management) that can greatly
improve the quality of your life. Old habits are hard to
break, but it's never too late to start healthy habits.
You feel fine
Even if you feel as though you're operating at 110% or
better, chiropractic can help you maintain your desired
level of health and fitness. You may currently have spinal
irregularities that exhibit no symptoms whatsoever. However,
problems may arise in the future.
Just as regular maintenance visits are recommended for your
car, and regular dental cleanings and check-ups are recommended
for your teeth, regular chiropractic check-ups can help detect
and prevent spinal stress or joint disorders.
In short, chiropractic health care is a smart choice for
most everyone, at any time-you'll stay healthier longer,
and the time and energy (and money!) saved due to your preventive
efforts can be spent on things that are fun to do. A better
quality of life awaits you.
