You are born to express radiant physical, mental and spiritual health, vitality, harmony, peace, joy, optimism, strength, love and healing at any age. Why is it, then, that it rarely seems this way? Too many of us walk this earth with our bodies, hearts, and souls in pain.

Any true healer's ultimate goal is to help you better connect to your source, your inner healing ability, wherein ALL health and healing arise. Chiropractic “Philosophy” is a way of looking at health. Chiropractors realize that doctors or drugs don’t heal people, only the body can heal itself.  A properly functioning body will have the ability to heal itself to a greater extent. How does a chiropractor help with this?

Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that your nervous system controls the function of every cell, tissue, organ and system of the your body. Your nervous system consists of your brain, spinal cord, and millions of nerves. It controls everything you can think of including seeing, breathing, smelling, muscle control, temperature sensation, hormone production, gastrointestinal function and more. Your spinal cord is protected by the 24 moveable bones of your spinal column called vertebrae. Since these vertebrae were designed by the body to allow motion, they are vulnerable to injury. Unfortunately, many daily activities can cause these spinal vertebrae to lose their normal position or range of motion. When a vertebra loses its normal position it can choke or pinch off nerve flow. Chiropractors call this condition a Vertebral Subluxation. This results in nervous system dysfunction and ultimately, ill health.

Chiropractors are taught during their specific four years of study to detect these Vertebral Subluxations, which produce nerve interference, and correct them. This is done without drugs or surgery. Chiropractors use a hands-on method referred to as an “adjustment”. A chiropractic adjustment is the application of a specific amount of force in a precise direction to the subluxated vertebra in the spine that is causing nerve interference. Adjustments help to return the bone to its normal position, thus relieving tension and pressure from the nerves. Chiropractic adjustments are extremely safe and effective.

Many people inquire why it is beneficial to see a chiropractic doctor when another health care professional can offer something similar. Other health care professionals may say they can adjust you after attending a weekend seminar, this is not true and you may be risking injury having a non-chiropractic individual perform such an adjustment.

Dr. Dru (like other doctors of chiropractic) completed four years of specific study regarding the spine and nervous system. He has passed numerous national and state Chiropractic Board examinations and must adhere to rigorous continuing education training to ensure proficiency. His expertise is critical to proper adjustment technique. Our spines house all the electrical wiring that controls each and every one of our body’s functions and should be taken care of in a manner fitting with the amazing system we each posses.
