The next step on your journey to a healthier life



Congratulations on taking this important step forward toward optimal health! Here are some important facts about chiropractic care.

Subluxation: A misalignment in the spine putting stress or pressure on the nerves. The nervous system controls all 70 trillion cells that make up your body!

3 Causes of subluxation:
1 Trauma: Examples include falling off your bicycle, MVA/ whip lash injury, bumping your head, concussion, tripping and spraining an ankle.
Toxins: Examples include pharmaceutical drugs (prescription and over the counter), GMO or conventional food, and pollution in the air or water
Thoughts: Examples include negative thought patterns, stress, and anxiety.

Benefit of chiropractic care:
·         Each adjustment provides a huge boost to your immune system
·         Decreased pain
·         Increased range of motion
·         Ability to heal from the inside- out
·         Ability to adapt and cope with environmental stresses
·          Balanced nervous system

Why do children get adjusted?




Why should children get adjusted? This is a question we often are asked, in our practice. The answer is very simple… birth is often the most traumatic experience of a person’s life!
Depending on the type of birth upwards of 140 pounds of pressure are used (vacuum extraction) to pull the baby’s head and neck. This pulls on the spine directly and stretches the nerves. (Fact: the nervous system is not fully developed until approximately 9 months) So it is during this process that the first spinal subluxation may occur. This is a good example of “trauma” as a cause of subluxation, with the other 2 being toxins and thoughts (autosuggestions)
At Genuine Chiropractic we specialize in the Webster technique, used for expectant mothers, and also care for new borns. The pressure used to adjust a newborn is the same pressure you would use to test a ripe tomato. It is extremely gentle and can have a profound impact.
When subluxations are left in the spine over time the process of dysfunction, dis-ease, disease, and eventually cell death will occur. This is because the nervous system controls EVERYTHING in the body so when there is interference in the nerve flow because of a spinal subluxation we are unable to reach our full potential in health and balance.
