“When Your Lights are Out…”


Ever have one of those days where you just don't feel as bright as you should?  Your diet's good, you're getting enough exercise but for some reason you still feel drained and unproductive.  Maybe it's time for a trip to the Chiropractor…

Think of your Nerve System as electrical wires and your body a 100 watt light bulb connected to it.  When the wires are clear and electricity flows freely, your bulb glows to 100 watts.  But if power is restricted in the wires, your bulb dims.  Chiropractors call it being Subluxated or in a 'state of less light/less energy.'  And the only thing that can 'light you up' again is a specific, loving Chiropractic Adjustment.

Eating properly and getting enough exercise is important, but you'll never shine to your full potential if you're Subluxated… and you can't afford that.  The world needs you beaming at 100 watts.  So don't wait until your light's completely out… get adjusted and shine bright with regular Chiropractic care!

“We’re All in the Same Boat…”

We have lots of patients who thank us everyday for giving them their health back. They
say things like 'doc, you really did a great job...' and 'doc, you helped me when no one else
could.' But the truth is... we can't take all the credit for it.

While medicine gives most of the credit for healing to the physician or the drug, Chiropractors
see it as a team effort with three key players - the Chiropractor who clears interference
from the nerve system, the innate wisdom within the patient which orchestrates the healing
and the patient who practices good lifestyle habits to support the process.

We're ecstatic when you see results from our service. But never forget, we're not the only
one rowing the boat. There are two other oarsmen, pulling in unison... and together, we
make the perfect, healing team!

“First, Remove the Pressure…”

Question:  If you drop a cinder block on your foot, what’s the first thing you must do for the healing process to start?   Answer:  Get the cinder block off your foot!
Sounds simple, but it’s true.  Your foot WON’T heal until the offending pressure is removed first.  And once the cinder block is removed don’t expect your foot to look or feel great right away! It’s going to take time to repair all the carnage.  The same principle applies to your Chiropractic care…
A misaligned vertebrae (Subluxation) acts like  a cinder block on a nerve causing damage, pain and inflammation.  Healing can occur  only when the offending pressure is removed and kept off with a series of Chiropractic adjustments.  But that won't necessarily bring instant relief.  Removing the pressure is simply the first step in a timely process.
So if you don't feel great immediately after your adjustment, don't be discouraged. With time damaged tissues will heal and you'll feel like new again.  For now, be confident the healing process has at least started because the cinder block has been removed.

“One Down… the Rest of Your LIFE to Go!”



How many healthy meals does it take to lose 20 lbs?  Or how many miles on the treadmill does it take to shed 5 inches?  It obviously takes more than just one, andyou've got to stick with it to maintain the results.  Well, the same goes for your Chiropractic care.
It takes more than one adjustment to change your state of health.  It's true the body has a greater potential to improve even after just one adjustment.  But like eating well and exercising, you achieve lasting results only with repetition and consistency.  
So how long should you stick with your new diet regimen, exercise routine or spinal maintenance plan?  The answer is, as long as you want to be healthy… and hopefully that's for the rest of your Life.  In the world of fitness, healthy eating and Chiropractic, there's no such thing as 'one and done.'  You've got to stick with it to reap the rewards.

"The Super Glue of Life..."

Ever wonder what keeps your heart beating in rhythm while you exercise, or knows the exact amount of white blood cells to produce when you're fighting an infection?  How about mending a broken bone?  Is it the cast that unites damaged bone or the bandage that seals broken skin? Think again.
Chiropractors recognize that there's an intangible force, an innate intelligence far greater than we can understand that holds us together and keeps us alive… an intelligent 'super glue' that binds together all our cells, tissues and organs and coordinates their various functions to produce health.  It grew you from two microscopic cells into a thriving, vibrant person and maintains your existence at this very moment.
BJ Palmer, the developer of Chiropractic, once asked… “have you more faith in a knife or a spoonful of medicine than in the power that animates the living world?" That's a question every chiropractic patient must answer honestly for themselves if they truly want to get the most out of their care.

“Wringing Out the Stress of LIFE.”

Your Nerve System is the ultimate sponge, soaking up all the experiences, sensations and stresses you encounter every day.  Like a sponge, it can only absorb so much before it becomes over-saturated and spills stress into your body.  The result… PAIN, SICKNESS and WEAK PERFORMANCE!
The best thing you can do to prevent Nerve System Over-Saturation is to get checked by your Chiropractor regularly and adjusted when necessary.  Adjustments gently “wring out” accumulated tension in your Nerve System before it has a chance to build up and affect your health negatively.
If you're feeling super-soaked from the stress of Life, bring your saturated nerves to the Chiropractor for some TLC.  You'll experience more energy, improved sleep and a better overall feeling of wellness if you do.

“One Adjustment and a Bottle of Windex”

If you've ever tuned into the A&E television program Hoarders, it doesn't take a genius to quickly realize it's going to take more than a bottle of Windex to clean up all the garbage, moldy food and rotting animal poop that's been accumulating in those houses for years and years and years…

But some people accumulate health problems the same way, and unrealistically believe it will take just a visit or two at the Chiropractor's to fix all their issues.  From years of neglect, bad advise and denial, their chronic illnesses pile up until they can no longer recognize the healthy state their body used to be in.  By the time they decide to see a Chiropractor, they've got a real 'dis-ease hoarding' problem and unfortunately one adjustment isn't enough to clean up the squalor.  
The goal of Chiropractic isn't to temporarily sweep your symptoms under a rug to make things look good on the surface, but to actually roll our sleeves up and get rid of the underlying clutter once and for all.  Sure it might take a little more time and a bit more elbow grease to transform your health our natural way, but in the end your human house will be clean, pristine and habitable again.
