Subluxation: An interference to the nerve system
Interference to the nervous system can occur in many ways, such as with habitual thought patterns, emotions, chemical processes or trauma.
One type of nerve interference is called “Subluxation.”
When Subluxation is present, there is a combination of LOSS OF MOVEMENT and NERVE INTERFERENCE.
This affects the nervous system in a number of ways. Science tells us that nerves may be affecting local structures, such as local muscles. However, recent science also tells us that messages to the brain may be affected through sensory nerves.
Sometimes we are unable to tell exactly HOW it is affecting the nervous system, but the presence of Subluxation is something we want to correct regardless of any obvious symptoms, or conditions.
We see you in a wholistic way and vitalistic way
That means that we see you as a whole person, existing and functioning as “living energy.”
This intelligent living energy exists throughout your body, but is transmitted over the master system – the nervous system.
Without us having to think about it, our intelligent energy systems control the functions of the body. Imagine the effort required if you had to constantly think about the millions of functions occurring in your body every moment, every day – you would be exhausted!
The big idea of Chiropractic is that we can all function well individually, and this good internal function benefits us as a being, but also contributes to the health of our communities, nation, and universe.
Our practice is different from many others, in that we acknowledge your body’s own ability to self-develop, heal, and function, and therefore do no try to “treat” your symptoms or conditions from the “outside-in.”
Instead, we search for areas where your body is not working well, and remove these areas of interference, so that your body can have it’s best chance of expressing it’s inner intelligence.
The body is always better off without subluxation.
Our practice uses the Gonstead System, which is specific and precise and avoids random manipulation of the spine.
We can correct the old and current subluxations that you have developed over time. After this, new patterns can arise throughout life. We need a strategy for both of these – this is called phases of care.
We care about your wellbeing, and our hope for you is to be able to live a life without subluxation, staying free from interference, clear, conscious, and connected.
