One thing we hear a lot is, “I’m just getting old.” It’s amazing what we are conditioned to expect about the aging process. Our bodies are designed to function for 120-150 years. Why would it start slowing down at 30, 40, or 50? The answer is subluxation.

Our nerves supply muscles with the messages they need to contract. Each muscle fiber has a nerve associated with it. When we have subluxation, there is a reduction in messages along the nerves getting out to the muscles. As a result, thus, not 100% of the muscle is called to action. So when you are trying to use that muscle it isn’t as strong as it could be.

We can go a layer deeper as well. Organs and glands are chemical factories in the body that regulate our performance. What sends messages to those chemical factories to function at a high level? You guessed it our nerves.

The main two aspects of our performance and the aging process are controlled by our nerves. By removing interference in the nervous system our body can continue to function optimally. I know that’s what we all want for ourselves and our families.

Pregnancy can be a complex emotional roller coaster. There are physical, chemical, and emotional changes occurring. Those all add up to additional stress on the body. Fortunately, a chiropractic adjustment can positively balance those changes.

I realized we were constantly fighting because he would ask me the same question repeatedly, refuse to shut doors, or sit down and do his homework. At this time my mom was given a solution he was diagnosed with ADHD and given medication. It was an answer and really that’s what a parent is looking for.

This is what most people think a chiropractor does all day; fix bad backs. The reason is everyone has experienced or known someone with back pain. Many of those people have been helped by a chiropractor.

While I will say chiropractic is for so much more; I want to explain why and how it works for back pain. When a joint locks up in the back the message of pain gets sent to the brain, and the process of degeneration begins. We restore proper movement in the joint and it stops that degenerative process. Also, it turns that pain signal off. This allows us to listen to our bodies feedback.
