Palm Beach Gardens Chiropractic : We Can Help

What is Chiropractic?

If any vertebra in your spine is subluxated, it will literally short-circuit a part of your nervous system.

You have most likely been taught to think that Chiropractic is some kind of treatment for back and neck pain etc. It's true, we do see a number of patients suffering with a variety of such problems. More importantly though is the recognition that Chiropractic is much more than simple pain relief.

Most problems that surface in our adult years actually begin at birth.

The birthing process can be very traumatic to your spine. That's the reason we place so much emphasis on children and their growth and development. Your child's spine is his or her lifeline. Running through it is the spinal cord carrying billions of messages which enable the body to function correctly. It's like having your own internal internet!

It is vital to make certain that this "information highway" remain obstruction free so that all messages created by the brain reach their intended targets. If this pathway is blocked at any point, your body may start to malfunction. This can pose a serious threat to your health and in some cases life.

Chiropractors call these obstructions "Vertebral Subluxations" - misalignments of some of the spinal vertebrae (spinal bones).

It is important to remember that your body is a self-healing organism. This means that it has the ability to recover no matter what the condition is, as long as the information is not interfered with.

For example, you get a brand new liver every month or so. Yes, liver cells die and are replaced by brand new ones...(amazing). Your red blood cells die every four months and are replaced by new cells...(incredible). Even your skeleton goes through changes - approximately every seven years. In other words, your body is designed to heal itself and it will follow a very exact program in order to do so.

This program is controlled by your nervous system. As long as your nervous system is able to effectively communicate with every organ, tissue and cell in your body, you should have the very best health possible. If your nervous system is unable to deliver information properly, your body will not have the ability to do what it is designed to do. We call this "malfunction". It can be very serious.

As a Chiropractor, my goal here at our Palm Beach Gardens chiropractic office with each and every patient is to:
  • Eliminate communication breakdown and restore proper function.
  • Enable your body to reach a state of "wellness".....a state where your body interacts flawlessly with all it's parts.

I hope that I have given everyone some insight into the world of Chiropractic. Please remember that Chiropractic is not only about back and neck pain, it's about sustaining great health for a lifetime!
