How does chiropractic improve your health?
What determines the state of your health is your body's ability to handle stress and stay in balance. There are 3 types of stress:
Preservatives & toxins in food.
Imbalances or deficiencies in diet. Alcohol consumption (or other toxic substances).
Hormonal: Age related fluctuations. Absorbed hormones from food supply or certain lotions & creams.
Environmental & Other toxins:Smoking, air pollution, allergens, dyes and chemicals (clothing, upholstery), radiation.
Too much medication.
Lack of rest, too many responsibilities or tasks.
Stressful situations of conflict beyond immediate control or with no physical outlet.
Traumatic experiences, loss of a loved one, etc.
Deficits in social, personal, or family relationships. Lack of proper emotional outlet.
Sudden / traumatic or repetitive in nature.
Poor posture.
Lack of sleep.
Too much or too little exercise.

Chiropractic benefits your body beyond treating pain & symptoms!
Many in our fast paced society believe that lack of symptoms means health and wellness. Others ignore daily aches and pains as "normal" either due to lack of a solution or by depending on the "quick fix" appeal of medicine.
Symptoms of any kind. (aches, pains, numbness, digestive problems etc.) are how our body tells us that something is not working right. They happen when our body can not cope with stress (one or more of the categories above) and is attempting to adapt / compensate.
When everything is functioning properly our body stays in a state of balance or "homeostasis" and handles stress with no symptoms. That is where chiropractic care, along with proper lifestyle factors (nutrition, rest, exercise, healthy relationships etc.) is invaluable.
Chiropractic care optimizes joint movement, delays or prevents wear and tear (arthritis), and makes injury less likely. Additional health and wellness benefits are made through affects on the nervous system. The nervous system controls all function and communication in our body. Chiropractic care removes interference from the nervous system allowing optimal function and hence optimal health (see subluxation).
Chiropractic correction or adjustment has various styles from very gentle to more vigorous. Treatment always depends on effectiveness for patient needs, tolerance, condition, and safety. Some may need less or more but we all need vigilant and pro-active protection against the ill-effects of stress.
