01 — The power that made the body heals the body

This phrase was coined by BJ Palmer, son of the founder of chiropractic and a chiropractor in his own right who was instrumental in developing the chiropractic profession. We believe that life is not an accident and that there is a power beyond our own. Each human has been imbued with the intelligence of the Creator and it is His power that provides true healing.

02 — Our bodies contain infinite health potential

Epigenetics is a rapidly growing field of biology that has shown us that our environment and experiences have an influence on the expression of genes. This means that although we are born with a certain genome, we have the ability to affect its expression and therefore our health. Because we have over 20,000 genes and the ability to affect many of those in multiple permutations, there are innumerable variations of expression that we can experience. If you are curious about epigenetics, this website is a great resource to learn more.

03 — Lifelong health begins with our parents

The role of epigenetics in our health begins before conception. The quality of genes is directly correlated with the health of our parents at that moment. Our parents turn on and off certain genes for us, both in the months prior to conception and during pregnancy. As parents, we can set up our future children for epigenetic success by taking care of our bodies through nutrition, exercise, and regular chiropractic care before and during pregnancy!

04 — Subluxation interferes with our natural wellness

According to the Association of Chiropractic colleges, “A subluxation is a complex of functional, structural, and/or pathological articular changes that compromise neural integrity and may influence organ system function and general health.” In other words, it is a disruption of the communication between the brain and the rest of the body which limits the body’s ability to function properly.

05 — Chiropractic care removes subluxation

The chiropractic adjustment is a specific impulse that removes interference within the nervous system. Bringing movement to the spine in an area that is “stuck” allows the body to heal the issue at that point of interference as well as improve communication to the areas below. Regularly having your spine checked and adjusted keeps information flowing freely from your brain all the way to the tips of your toes.
