My view of health
Chiropractic
Chiropractic has now become synonymous with treatment of neck and back, thanks in part to the favorable studies that have been published (Manga Report, British Journal of Medicine study on Manipulation, ACPHR low back pain report, etc...), but Chiropractic care has a dimension that goes far beyond Musculoskeletal symptomatology.
Your Body
Your body is a complex symbiotic collection of different systems that work together to achieve a status that is refered to as Homeostasis. This is performed under the direct control of the brain and its "Central Nervous System"; this is to say that all activities of the body, through its systems, are either directed by the Central nervous system or at least fed-back to it. This concept is easily understood when it comes to the actions of muscles because their mapping in the brain was simple to determine, but the same is conceivable for all the internal organs.

The Science and Art
Doctors of Chiropractic (D.C.) undergo at least six years of college education before they can become licensed doctors. Yet, the Art of Chiropractic Manipulation, the "Adjustment", may appear deceivingly simple in its application. This is because Doctors of Chiropractic don't just "crack" or move the bones of the spine and extremities. They "reset" the proper function of the nervous system by eliminating the irritations to the nerve roots produced by "Subluxations", or vertebral misalignments. These Subluxations affect all regions of the body because they occur at all levels of the spine. This is why Chiropractors can also treat certain ailments through the Art of the Adjustment.

Mission Statement:
I have chosen Chiropractic to provide those who suffer with a natural, non-invasive alternative to their health care, and I will always do my best to treat my patients with personal and compassionate care, as long as God will let me.

Holistic Care
Because of our "Holistic" view of the body, Doctors of Chiropractic also take your functional and nutritional status in to consideration when assessing your general health and fitness levels. This is important because one cannot attain perfect health unless the body's fuel is of premium quality, and the structures are kept in good shape.
For my part, I attended post-graduate courses in sports medicine, and the Chiropractic treatment of physical injuries caused by trauma or exertion. This experience enables the "Chiropractic Sports Physician" to evaluate and manage in a conservative manner a great number of areas besides the spine.
