The techniques utilized at our office are specific chiropractic spinal adjustments. These adjustments are gentle forces that the body can utilize to allow the correction of spinal distortions (vertebral subluxations). We help people get well without the use of drugs or surgery. By adjusting areas in your spine where the bones either aren't moving or aren't aligned as well as they should be, the nerves in the area and the body as a whole are able to work at their optimal function.

Health is more than just "not being sick." Health is when your body and mind are functioning at their maximum ability, and your nervous system is coordinating and controlling the rest of your body the best that it possibly can. Health is, therefore, when you are able to reach your fullest potential, adapt to your environment, and deal with stresses in a positive way.

Your nervous system is made up of your brain, spinal cord, and all the nerves in your body. This is the master system that tells all the different parts of your body what to do. Your nervous system is negatively affected by physical, chemical, and psychological stresses. If any of these three types of stresses are going on in your life, your nervous system will be affected and won't be able to do its job to the best of its ability. Your nervous system will not be able to send the right information from the brain to the rest of your body. By getting a chiropractic adjustment, the subluxations in your spine will be corrected and the associated nerves won't be irritated anymore, so that your body can start to heal itself.

From a person's first visit, we provide important information that will improve your well being and support your care in our office. Every person is different, depending on their work, lifestyle, and mental outlook on life. We pride ourselves on getting to know you as a person, so that we can best help you improve the three main categories of health:

1. Physical - exercise, movement, and getting adjusted
2. Mental - having a positive outlook on life, dealing with negative stress
3. Chemical - nutrition, both what is taken in and on the body

At Active Health Chiropractic, we feel that each category needs to be addressed and that the full potential of health cannot be reached without all three!
