Is Your Head On Straight?
Chiropractors confront a challenge known as a Vertebral Subluxation, which prevents you from expressing 100% of your true potential. The subluxated spine is caused by accidents or injuries that tear loose the connective tissues that hold the structures of the spine together. A weakness is created that allows the spine to break down and lock in a stressed position. Because there are so many joints in the body, you may only be slightly limited in movement and sometimes it takes years for the effects to become severe enough to identify the problem.

Has anyone ever told you that one of your legs is shorter than the other? When your spine is subluxated, your legs may give the impression of being different lengths. When you are standing, this will be revealed as a high or low hip or shoulder, a leaning of the body to the right or left or a tilting of the head to one side or the other. This twisting of the body framework results in an imbalance in the muscles and stress on the boney structure. The consequential abnormal movement prompts the progressive wear and tear and, over time, degenerative change of the spine and surrounding structures.
This break down of the spine and the many other conditions that result is reason enough to correct the spinal misalignment; yet the devastating effects caused to the nervous system by the subluxated spine, which limits life and causes a multitude of symptoms adds significant urgency to correcting the body imbalance.

The loss of structural integrity from the misaligned spine results in distress in the nervous system and may be effecting the brain, the brain stem, the spinal cord, and/or the peripheral nerves. The nervous system:

• directs and coordinates every movement we make
• allows us to sense and feel
• controls and regulates all of the other body systems and processes including circulation, respiration, digestion, reproduction, etc.
• is the instrument of perception that allows us to relate to the world outside of ourselves.

This challenge causes pain and suffering and an abundance of related symptoms that progress and continue to get worse and accumulate over time. It starts as headaches or back tightness and pain, then maybe allergies and indigestion, and perhaps progressing to debilitating pain or loss of sensation in the limbs.
If you have a subluxated spine, you need to have it corrected to live a full and pain free life. It does affect your ability to live, work and play. Don’t wait until you’ve tried everything else. Make your appointment today, and set your head on straight!
