At Power Within Chiropractic, we recognize that health is about function rather than feeling. True health is expressed when the master system that controls every cell, tissue, and organ in your body functions at 100% capacity.

At our office, we focus on normalizing and maintaining the function of the nervous system of every patient. When your nervous system is functioning at 100%, your body has the best chance to get well and stay well.

By restoring nervous system function, many patients have positive health changes throughout their entire body, including their immune system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, and musculoskeletal system.

Did you know that it takes about 80 pounds of pulling pressure to damage the spinal cord of a newborn? Average pulling pressure in today’s natural childbirth methods can go up to 120 pounds.

Towbin, in his research, states that spinal injuries are so common in the birthing process that they are now considered normal and go unreported.

Guttman, in his research, reports that these account for increased incidents of ear, nose, and throat issues in our children.

Colic, poor appetite, erratic sleeping may be signs of spinal distress from the birth process. A proper functioning nervous system needs to be the FIRST PRIORITY in strengthening the child’s immune system.

The presence or absence of the sound, called cavitation, is not an indication of the quality or effectiveness of an adjustment. The spinal joints are synovial joints that are lubricated by a special fluid called synovial fluid.

Mobility of the joints keeps the fluid cycling in and out of the joint. Immobility, however, stops this cycling, and like releasing the pressure in a bottle of champagne, the introduced movement uncorks the stuck joint, and built-up gas and fluid is released, which may produce the sound.

Health is more than just “feeling good.” Webster defines health as a state of wholeness in which all the organs in the body are functioning 100%, 100% of the time. Health comes from within; we are all born with the ability to heal. The catch is your nervous system has to be free of interference.

Lifestyle choices we make today will contribute to your health in the future. Ask yourself, are you as healthy today as you were five years ago; then, ask yourself will you be healthier five years from now? My wish for you is to choose lifestyle choices that build health and wellness. One such choice is regular visits to a chiropractic clinic.
