Why Chiropractic
Our approach to health and human potential is simple. We believe that your health is your most valuable possession. It doesn’t come from a pill or potion, but from within you. Pressure on spinal nerves causes an interruption in the communication from the brain to the cells resulting in less than 100% function and ultimately in pain or sickness.
Our work is devoted to one thing: finding the interference in the spine and removing it, thus allowing your body to heal and function the way it’s supposed to. We call it “turning the power on.” We encourage our patients to achieve the highest levels of health and human potential they can. Through educational opportunities (like this website), we hope to communicate the value of ongoing chiropractic care.
Our desire is to see our practice members abandon the prevailing sickness care model of health (waiting for symptoms and then taking action), in favor of the proactive wellness model.

Headaches/Migraine
“It was like a knife behind my eye!”
There is nothing like headaches. They can strike with little warning and cause debilitating pain – especially those starting in the neck and referring to the head, behind the eyes, beneath you skull and into the sinuses. The most common headache (90%) of all is the ‘tension’ headache.
The most common areas people experience headaches are behind the eyes, the top of the neck, under the skull, through the sinuses, between the temples and at the top of the head. The way chiropractic helps is through improved flexibility and function of the neck. The relieved tension has been a mainstay of chiropractic’s effectiveness in helping Headache sufferers for over 117 years.
Migraines are the lancing, sickening and debilitating. They cause sensitivity to light, nausea, can last for hours and piercing pain behind the eyes. Correcting function of the neck, sinuses and restoring flexibility are key in dealing with nearly every type of headache sufferer.
Posture
Nothing has a greater impact on your spine than the way you stand, sit and sleep. It can’t be overstated. Prolonged sitting, particularly with school aged children or office bound workers have an extremely high likelihood of succumbing to neck and postural related problems.
Our near total reliance on computers and mobile phones combined with prolonged hours behind a desk are the ultimate culprits. Just think what this is doing to your spine….better still, look what its doing!
With a forward head tilt, the ligaments at the back of your neck are under constant strain. The ligaments are strained, the muscles stretched and more than likely, the nerves which exit from beneath the skull and between every bone in your neck can be compromised.
The symptoms can vary from headaches, persistent neck stiffness, blurred vision, poor flexibility, needing to constantly rub your neck to depression, anxiety and memory loss. This can have catastrophic effects on work performance, sleep, concentration and make you moody, irritable and sore.
With effective chiropractic care, correct flexibility can be restored and with regular maintenance, you can ensure it stays that way!
The same can be said for your lower back. Prolonged standing at sporting events, standing behind desks, on a shovel or working in a production facility can all contribute to posture induced lower back problems.
Contrary to what you may have heard or believe, your spine and neck are designed to move. Not once a day, but as often as it can. What we know is exercise and play not only promotes endorphin release and lubricates the spine, it stimulates the nervous tissue, invigorates muscles and promotes growth, healing and strength.
Chiropractic care is the single most effective way to manage posture and function for someone always under stress.
