| Many people think that chiropractors
work only with orthopedic (musculoskeletal) conditions such as backache,
whiplash, disc problem, sciatica, headaches and neck pain.
Although a large percentage of patients come to us with musculoskeletal
complaints, many come with functional disorders that involve major
body organs and processes. Today, an increasing number
of patients are coming to us for Network Spinal Analysis (Network
Chiropractic) Care without the presence of symptoms and with a desire
for a better quality of life.

retrospective study, conducted by the University of California
Medical School, Irvine, of

Massage with Cec
Smith
, RMT
Most of us set aside our health
and wellbeing in order to take care of those things that we consider
to be our “priorities.”
We let our jobs, families and other obligations take precedence
over things such as massage and chiropractic care.
After all, our health can wait…. The carpool cannot.
We think of massage as a luxury, one that we seldom invest
the time and resources to enjoy. What we often forget, though,
is that we handle the stresses of daily life best when we are
physically and mentally fit. Proper diet, exercise, rest and
attitude all help and so does regular massage therapy.
Anyone living
in today’s hectic world can benefit from massage.
Those who are particularly good candidates are athletes
(both weekend and competitive), office workers who spend many
hours at a desk or computer, people who stand all day (waiters,
for example) as well as those who do a lot of lifting and anyone
in highly stressful situations. Muscle pain and nervous tension are two manifestations of everyday
stress and strain that most of us experience. Massage helps to alleviate symptoms
and restore balance to frenzied lives.
Massage assists
our healing in many ways.
It melts away tension, relieving pain and discomfort, and
this helps us relax physically, mentally and emotionally. Massage improves circulation and
lymphatic drainage, thus improving the flow of nutrients to the
tissues and the removal of toxins from the body.
It improves flexibility and joint range of motion, reduces
inflammation, and improves muscle tone. It has a positive effect on the
immune system. Massage can help restore emotional
balance by releasing the accumulated tension caused by repressed
feelings. Regular massage helps us cope
with life’s challenges better because we feel both mentally
and physically fit.
Make
massage therapy an integral component of your total mental and
physical fitness program!
Philosophy of
Chiropractic
The philosophy of Chiropractic
is very simple. There
is an organizing, coordinating principle within the body which
we refer to as “INNATE INTELLIGENCE”. INNATE means inborn, what you
are born knowing, rather than what you learn after you are born.
It just knows how to HEAL without having to think about
it.
Just
as telephone and computer technology allow instant global communication,
our NERVOUS SYSTEM - the brain, spinal cord and millions of miles
of nerves - allow instant communication and coordination between every cell, tissue and organ of
the body; and YES, even our emotions!
Chiropractic is not about
“treating” our back,
neck, or other aches and pains; that is a very small part
of the whole picture. It is about our LIFE FORCE and
expressing it to its fullest!
This INNATE, which is housed within the NERVOUS
SYSTEM, controls and coordinates every aspect of our being. It animates us and makes us who
we are. If we are SUBLUXATED then we are
less flexible, not only in our spine but in our being.
If affects our ability to deal with stress, our ability
to get along with other people, and our ability to HEAL. Every
aspect of our life is affected!
If you want to change your life, start with your spine,
start with chiropractic.
Chiropractic adjustments increase energy, normalize
chemistry, heighten alertness, remove nerve interference and increase
quantity and quality of life! Don’t let your spine
get on your nerves, Get Adjusted!
Optimal Health

Good Cell To Cell Communication
Healing requires communication, that's where it
starts! If your cells can not communicate clearly how can your

Good Endocrine System Function
"It's
just hormones"...but hormones play a critical role in how
your body responds to stress, your mood, your attitude and
much much more. And your endocrine system works in
harmony with your immune system. Support your bodies Endocrine
System for natural production and balance of hormones.
3. A Good Defense System
Do
you eat enough fruits and vegetables every day? If not
your defense system is probably suffering. Enhance your
bodies natural defense against toxins, pesticides, poor diet and
other hazards in today's environment and help your body recover
faster from illness!

Nutritional Support
