A Misaligned Spine is Far from Fine
Impaired Nervous System
Misalignment of the bones in your spine creates miscommunication between your Brain, Spinal Cord, and Nerves.
Symptoms
Spinal misalignment can result in a variety of symptoms such as: Pain, Tightness, Poor Posture, and Restricted Mobility.
Weakened Immune System
When a misalignment is present, the body often experiences greater difficulty when defending itself against sickness and disease.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Taking x-rays for each new case is necessary to determine the exact direction the vertebra has misaligned to. We must know exactly how it is out of place before we can adjust it back into place.
-
The speed with which you recover will depend on several factors:
1) Current health of the patient
2) How much damage has been done
3) How long the vertebrae have been misaligned
4) How easily the vertebrae can be corrected
5) How well the patient can hold their adjustment
6) Cooperation of the patient with the doctor
-
You can have a subluxation for a long time before pain develops. Only a small portion of your total nervous system is sensitive to pain. Most diseases only cause pain in the later stages.
If you want to keep your spine free of vertebral subluxation and nerve interference you must be checked regularly whether or not you are having symptoms.
-
We can adjust a vertebra only if it is out of place and causing nerve interference. If we move a vertebra that is in place, we will only put it out of place. That would only slow down your progress to better health.
It is just as important to know when not to give an adjustment as it is to give one!
-
Yes, it’s possible that symptoms may feel worse after the initial visit even though the patient is still in adjustment. Sometimes removing interference to the nervous system causes a greater sensation of pain temporarily. If the vertebra stays in alignment, however, the pain will usually subside given some time.
-
The misalignment of the atlas (the top vertebra of the neck) triggers an abnormal nerve action causing muscle shortening or tension throughout the lower back which often distorts the pelvis.
-
No, removing interference from the nervous system does not have adverse effects. However, it is possible that you may feel worse after the initial visit. Sometimes removing interference to the nervous system causes a greater sensation of pain temporarily. If the vertebra stays in alignment, this feeling should subside given enough time.
Rather than receiving negative side effects, most patients will receive benefits in that other health problems will begin to improve. The body always functions better if interference is removed from the nervous system.
-
No, we can not be sure that every case can get better or even feel better. Some conditions have progressed too far and there are severe limitations on their ability to respond. However, we know the body will function better once interference is removed from the nervous system.
-
As long as you want to function to your greatest potential physically, mentally, and socially. Regular chiropractic visits (for example - once a month) help to prevent future health problems.
-
Although most adjustments are given in the upper neck area, all subluxations are not the same nor are the adjustments the same. The adjustment is unique for each individual case. This is determined by the x-ray analysis.
