Our chiropractors perform adjustments to the spine and other parts of the body with the goal of
correcting alignment, easing pain, and supporting the body’s ability to heal itself.
Chiropractic care is based on the scientific fact that your body is a self-regulating, self-healing organism controlled by the brain, spinal cord and nerves of the body.
The nervous system is protected by the spinal vertebrae. When these vertebrae become misaligned or lose normal motion, malfunction of the tissues and organs throughout the body result.
Chiropractic works by restoring your own inborn ability to be healthy in three ways:
Our goal for every patient is to provide customized care to restore the integrity of your nervous system and get rid of pain quickly.
We help patients improve their posture, muscle balance and mobility so that they can get back to feeling good today.
The main causes of joint dysfunction are mechanical, chemical, and emotional.
In general, a chiropractic adjustment does not cause any pain. You may feel sore as you begin to reactivate the proper muscles for posture and support. This is normal and will often feel like post-gym soreness.
First your spine loses its normal balance. There may be a loss of normal spinal curves. Your nerves may be affected and the vital life energy that flows over them is interfered with. Also your joints, discs, nerves and posture are stressed and age more quickly. Surprisingly, there may be no pain other than occasional minor discomfort. Also present may be a slight lessening of energy and slight height loss. Response to spinal care at this phase is generally good.
Here there is a much greater degree of decay, disc narrowing and bone spurs (deformations); postural changes are much worse. This condition is very common (by age 40, 80% of males and 76% of females exhibit moderate disc degeneration). Spinal canal narrowing or stenosis may occur. This phase is characterized by more common aches and pains, fatigue, and a diminished ability to cope with stress. Height continues to decrease. With chiropractic care at this phase significant improvement is possible.
Here there are more postural imbalances, increased nerve damage, permanent scar tissue and advanced bone deformation. Physical and/or mental weakness or disability begin. Also found in this phase are permanent loss of height and loss of energy. With chiropractic care at this phase some reversal is possible.
This is the most advanced stage of subluxation degeneration. The postural imbalance is severe and motion is limited. There is severe nerve damage, permanent scar tissue is formed and the bones may begin to fuse. In this phase we find pain, various degrees of physical or mental disability, and continued loss of energy and height. By now the condition is considered irreversible, although chiropractic may give some symptomatic relief.
Power comes from the power company to the fuse box in your home. Then, power goes to different parts of your home like the family room, basement, kitchen, and more. If you overload one area, you trip a breaker and have to reset the switch to restore the power.
Think of NIPSCO as your brain, and the fuse box is your spine. Information is sent from your brain to all parts of your body. A subluxation occurs when you overload an area, much like a fuse box. But, instead of the body shutting off power completely, it slows it down a lot, and stays like that until the subluxation gets removed and increases the flow of information from brain to body.
