MORE THAN A QUICK FIX!!!!!!

"The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease."

 The future is now! Doctors of Chiropractic do just what Thomas Edison predicted!!!

 Health is an ongoing process; one that evolves as we age. If you look around at our society, you can see a rampant crisis of health problems. People are looking for answers, and in many cases, are not getting them. It is my opinion that the main cause of these issues is that for many years prevention of disease and illness was scoffed at by society. If someone felt good, no problem, nothing to worry about. We are now realizing that health maintenance is the key to good health. Rather than wait for the health crisis, let's attempt to prevent the crisis from occurring to begin with.

   Chiropractic health care focuses primarily on the examination and treatment of the spine and pelvis to determine if some part of the body's structure is malfunctioning. And, if so, what can be done to correct the structure to return the body to the best possible physiologically state?

   Think back how many times you have received treatment for an illness, and after feeling a bit better, you stopped treatment. That was usually a simple case of being fooled by our childhood training that if there were no symptoms, we were well. In reality, the short-term treatment only helped to temporarily alleviate the symptom, part of the condition, but never really addressed the cause of the problem. It is this fact that makes chiropractic care so beneficial.

YOU NEED A MASSAGE!!!!!!!

No, Really!! Many people think of massage as just a way to pamper yourself and not an important component of maintaining your maximum health.

Chiropractic care is considered a holistic approach to medicine. Holistic means we're treating each person as a WHOLE, rather than just individual symptoms. In an age of technical and, at times, impersonal medicine, massage and chiropractic offer a drug free, non-invasive and humanistic approach based on the body's natural ability to heal itself. While chiropractic and massage therapy offer considerable benefits individually, they are better together!

 Though most chiropractors address the muscles during treatment with physiotherapy and manual therapy techniques, massage is often the ideal adjunct to the chiropractor's treatment. Massage therapy is based upon the same premise of the body having the ability to self-heal and regulate. If the muscles of the body become imbalanced, for example. it can lead to a variety of problems. If muscles are shortened and tightened on one side of the body, the muscles on the opposite side may become overstretched, which can cause pain, weakened circulation, and other problems. But worse, this tightness may also pull the bones the muscles are attached to, sabotaging the work of the chiropractor to realign the body. A massage therapist can soften and stretch the muscle groups, relieving stress on the opposing muscle groups and strengthening weaker muscles, which complements the work of the chiropractor. In practice, we have found that a massage in conjunction with a chiropractic adjustment not only prepares the body better, but helps maintain the adjusts better.

WHAT OTHER BENEFITS ARE THERE TO MASSAGE THERAPY WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE?

• Enjoy faster recovery since multiple components of the pain/problem are being addressed. The recovery is usually more complete
• Increases circulation, allowing the body to pump more oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs
• Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow, the body's natural defense system
• Relaxes and softens injured and overused muscles
• Reduces spasms and cramping
• Increases joint flexibility
• Reduces muscle adhesion
• Releases endorphins, amino acids that work as the body's natural painkiller
• Improves range of motion
• Relieves pain for migraine sufferers and decreases need for medication
• Provides exercise and stretching for atrophied muscles and reduces shortening of the muscles for those with restricted range of motion
• Assist with shorter and easier labor for expectant mothers and shorten maternity hospital stays

 Massage extends the benefits of chiropractic care. Chiropractic Care extends the benefits of massage. The choice seems pretty simple. And now you know why you can feel guilt -free about getting that much-needed massage.
