What to expect:
Your body and brain communicate via the spinal cord. The brain sends messages to the body and the body sends messages back to the brain via the spinal cord.
My aim as your chiropractor is to remove any interference between your brain and body connection. This allows for an optimal functioning nervous system which helps reduce stress in your body, which may be causing you pain and discomfort. Once the nervous system is cleared we expect for a healthy functioning pain free body. When the groundwork is done it is important to maintain an interference free nervous system so we stay healthy. Pain is the symptom of an underlying problem. when a house is on fire the piercing sound of an alarm may be herd. the alarm is not the problem but has a cause just like aches and pains in our body they have a cause too and we use chiropractic to treat the cause of the pain.
