Many people with all kinds of health problems visit chiropractors – from aches and pains, heart conditions, emotional disorders, infection, low resistance, lack of energy – the list is long. People often ask, “What condition should I see a chiropractor for?” The answer is “Chiropractic isn’t for conditions or diseases, it’s for people.”

No matter what problem you have, you can benefit from a healthy spine. Spinal health is as important for your overall healing as proper nutrition.

Many things contribute to your health: the quality of the air, food and water you take in; how you handle emotional stress; your inherited weaknesses and strengths; your use of drugs; exercise; and relaxation – and the state of your spinal column. It is absolutely essential for good health and can make the difference between a life of health, strength and vitality or a life of disease, weakness and disability.

Are you and your family carrying the health-damaging vertebral subluxation complex, in your spines? Only a chiropractic spinal checkup can tell.

There are so many people in our community – adults, the elderly, infants and children – with Subluxations in their bodies that will never be corrected because they don’t know about the wonders of chiropractic care. So many people are living with physical and emotional ill-health and in many cases all they need is a chiropractic spinal adjustment to restore themselves to health and healing.

They probably don’t know what you know about of chiropractic care. Please tell them. Please let others know that drugs and surgery are not the only options available. We’re happy to discuss your questions about others needing care with you.

Did you know there are thousands of papers on the wonders of chiropractic? Please tell others about the power of chiropractic care – health without drugs or surgery. Any disease or condition you’d like to know about? Ask us.

Does ‘normal’ vision improve with Chiropractic? This is the case study of a 22-year-old man who had been suffering from neck pain. Although his vision was considered to be in the normal range, as measured by computerized static perimetry, it was tested before and after a chiropractic spinal adjustment. After the adjustment a measurable improvement in the visual sensitivity of both eyes was recorded. Does ‘normal’ vision improve with spinal manipulation? (1)

Sinus Trouble. This is the case study of a four-year-old boy suffering with headaches, vomiting, nasal drip and decreased appetite. He was being treated with large doses of antibiotics by his MDs. Past history revealed a fall on his head at age two from a height of 4 feet.

Chiropractic analysis revealed a subluxation of the second cervical (neck) vertebrae. He was seen 2 times per week for six months with excellent results. His headaches, vomiting and nasal drip completely resolved. His parents reported that his attitude and appetite dramatically improved. (2)

Constipation. A baby boy took a serious fall and immediately stopped having bowel movements. After months of medical management the condition did not resolve and the parents were told by the MDs that an exploratory surgery was necessary to determine if there was a blockage.

Twenty-four hours after his first chiropractic adjustment he started having normal bowel movements. This same child started severely stuttering at the age of 2. This was correlated to a fall. He began chiropractic care and within two weeks he stopped stuttering. This was a child who previously repeated a word twenty times and then, frustrated, gave up. (3)

Want to be healthy your whole life? If you answered “Yes!,” visit your chiropractor. In one study of men and women 75 years and older it was revealed that those visiting chiropractors had better overall health and a higher quality of life.

Chiropractic patients reported better overall health, fewer chronic conditions and fewer days spent in nursing homes and hospitals. They were also more mobile in their communities and were less likely to use prescription drugs than non-chiropractic patients. In fact, 87% of chiropractic patients described their health as excellent compared to just 67.8% of non-chiropractic patients. “Study associates chiropractic with better health in the elderly.” (4)

Children: You spend the first 2 years of their life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next 16 telling them to sit down and shut up.

Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said.

Be nice to your kids. They'll choose your nursing home.

A Simple Request That Might Save Your Life: Ask Your Allopathic Doctor (MD) to Take You Off Any Un-necessary Medications.

This might sound terribly obvious but it works.  It is especially important that older patients do this since the elderly are often on many different drugs and often suffering from drug reactions. 

Tell your MD you’d like to be taken off all unnecessary medications.  One patient, for example, who was on 14 different medications told this to their MD and was taken off all but one. 

The effects on his health were immediate and beneficial; he said he hadn’t felt as well in years.
