Many people think chiropractors are “back doctors,” but in actuality we are doctors of the nervous system. The reason for the apparent focus on the “back” is that the nerves travel within the spinal column of the back and neck. By adjusting the alignment of your spine, we affect the nerves directly. These nerves carry messages sent from the brain to the body and from the body back to the brain.

When your nervous system is disrupted, stressed or irritated, the messages the brain sends and receives get distorted. A common cause of distorted messages is a misalignment of the upper neck. Because the nervous system controls and coordinates every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body, any distorted messages can cause many different health problems in your body and that is why reducing a troubling misalignment can help many health problems. Are distorted messages giving you or someone you know headaches? Neck pain? Back pain? Digestive issues? Hormone imbalances? Sleep problems? You don't need to “learn to live with it”. 

This month, we want you to share the "more than a back doctor" message with your friends and family. Current patients will receive an invitation to pass on to someone they feel could benefit from chiropractic care, but if you didn't receive one, don't let that stop you from choosing to restore balance to your nervous system today.
