Is your spine getting on your nerves?<\/h1>\n\n\n
\n
\n\n

Did you know that your nervous system is the master control system of the entire body? Everything you do, and everything your body does in the background, is organized, monitored, and controlled via the nervous system and its roughly 100 billion nerve cells. In order for you to be healthy, those cells need to work together and communicate well. Misalignments of the spine and other structures interfere with proper nerve cell function, which can lead to pain, discomfort, and dis-ease.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

What is Chiropractic?<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\n\n

At its core, Chiropractic is a drug-free approach to promoting what\u2019s called neuroplasticity \u2013 your nervous system\u2019s ability to adapt (and to rest, heal, and grow).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Misalignments of the spine, called subluxations, may irritate or impair nerves as they pass through the affected area. This can cause pain, changes in sensation, and changes in autonomic or organ function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gentle manual adjustment of the spine supports proper nerve function, allowing the body to heal from pain and dysfunction. A non-invasive, hands-on approach for addressing neuro-musculoskeletal issues throughout the body, chiropractic adjustments use a high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust over restricted joints. This stimulate the nervous system to relax the surrounding muscles, reduce pain, and restore motion and nerve function.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Doctors of Chiropractic are specifically trained to detect and correct problems in the spine, often before the patient is even aware they exist. Dr. Shelley is highly trained in low-force adjusting<\/strong>, so you will almost never hear a \u201cpop\u201d or \u201csnap\u201d when she adjusts you.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Who can benefit from chiropractic care?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

People in all stages of life can benefit from chiropractic care, including newborns, children, adolescents, pregnant mothers, sports enthusiasts, and seniors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stress on your body and nervous systems can cause symptoms far beyond pain. There are a host of physical issues that prompt people to seek chiropractic treatment, or to send their spouses, children, and other loved ones to us for care (and sometimes for grumpiness and bad attitude). We kid, but it’s true \u2013 Chiropractic is a family affair!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
