WHO COMES TO THE GREATER WELLBEING?
Everyone is invited to The Greater Wellbeing. You may be seeking a greater expression of your own inner potential, better physical health as well as core healing, increased wellness and well being. Whether with or without pain, ill or affected by a disease, you are welcome! We strongly encourage families to visit us as a unit, as all can benefit from greater life expression and vitality. It has been well documented that "dis-ease," "dis-function" and "dis-harmony" of one member of a family may influence another member's expression of life.
Our body is our most precious gift through which we express our Self and perceive life. Therefore, in order to achieve our fullest potential, we must honor and nurture our body. Back to top IS CHIROPRACTIC FOR ME?
The art of chiropractic is based on the clearing of the nerve system by analysis and adjustment of the spinal column. The expression of the intelligence that created you is expressed through the nerve system. Having your spine and nerve system analyzed for interference by a chiropractor will give you a good idea of how the intelligence of the body is being expressed or interfered. Anyone of any age with or without any condition can have their spine and nerve system analyzed and adjusted by a chiropractor. It is very gentle, safe, natural and beneficial to be adjusted. Back to top CAN MY CHILDREN GET ADJUSTED?
Your child's spine and nerve system can be safely analyzed and adjusted from the day they are born. The birth process is often the first occurrence of subluxation. The trauma that occurs during the birth process can be severe. Parents who bring their babies and children to get adjusted report an improvement of their physical state, mental emotional state, stress evaluation, life enjoyment and overall quality of life.
Pregnancy, Birth And Chiropractic
Chiropractic care throughout pregnancy can relieve and even prevent the common discomforts experienced in pregnancy. Specific adjustments eliminate these stresses in your spine, restore balance to your pelvis and result in greater comfort and lifestyle improvements.
As your baby develops, your uterus enlarges to accommodate the rapid growth. So long as the pelvis is in a balanced state, the ligaments connected to the uterus maintain an equalized, supportive suspension for the uterus. If your pelvis is out of balance in any way, these ligaments become torqued and twisted causing a condition known as constraint to your uterus.
Even if the baby is in the desirable head down position, often times, constraint to the uterus affects the baby's head from moving into the ideal presentation for delivery. The head may be slightly tilted off to one side or even more traumatically, present in the posterior position creating harder births. (May - June 2002 ICPA Newsletter Patient Insert)
From the normal negotiation down the birth canal, to drug intervention of the mother, to the extreme mechanical force of manual, forceps and/or vacuum extraction, the infants spine is dealing with tremendous stresses. The best time to be checked by a chiropractor is at birth. Subluxation of the spine diminishes the energy or life force that travels trough the nerve system.
Having your spine and nerve system checked and cleared of interference can help people of all ages, but especially children due to the extremely accelerated growth process. A clear nerve system is vital for proper function, communication and healing throughout the body.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO SEE A CHIROPRACTOR?
With interference to the nerve system and diminished life expression, your whole being is affected. Your heart, lungs, kidney, stomach, skin, metabolism, immune system, etc. can all be affected by interference whether you experience symptoms yet or not.
So, when is the best time to start seeing a chiropractor? The answer is easy! From the day you are born. Having your children adjusted is the best thing for them as they grow and develop. Children also respond much faster to Chiropractic care since the areas of the spine that are not moving well have not been there for very long. Adjusting children is also very light and gentle. Most kids love to get adjusted and will jump up on the table to get checked.
Back to top WHAT IS A SUBLUXATION?
A subluxation is a term used in Chiropractic to refer to an area of the spine that has lost its proper motion, become fixed in a certain position and is creating interference in the communication between the brain and body. This interference is what essentially creates all disharmony or dis-ease in the body. The subluxation and the adjustment of the subluxation is the sole purpose of Chiropractic.
Back to top WHAT IS A CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENT?
A Chiropractic adjustment is the application of a very specific force to an area of the spine that is subluxated (not moving well). This is an are that is locked and is creating an interference to the nerve signals. The adjustment is intended to restore proper motion to the spine and to clear the communication between the nerve system and the body. The result of proper nerve system communication is always constructive for the body. It will always result in proper response of the body, whether that means more pain or less pain, higher fever or lower fever, higher blood pressure or lower blood pressure, with a clear nerve system the response is always appropriate for that person at that moment.
