"The Doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease." -Thomas A. Edison (1847-1931)

Our Chiropractic Philosophy

Chiropractic is founded upon the principal that the body is a self healing entity. When you cut your finger you obviously don't think about telling it to heal, it just happens. This ability is controlled by the nervous system. The nervous system controls everything in your body; every cell, tissue, organ, muscle, and even your immune system is controlled by the nervous system!

The nervous system is made up of your brain, spinal cord, and all the spinal nerves that relay messages from your brain to your body. It is this vital communication that the doctors of Specific Family Chiropractic check to make sure is functioning properly, and in most cases it is. However due to any number of factors that stress your body (environmental, internal, or dietary) you may lose this normal communication ability. When this occurs it is called a subluxation - a misalignment of one or more bones of the spine causing pressure on the nerves and causing them to function abnormally; as well as all of the organs, muscles, and tissues controlled by that nerve. Think of this word as the chiropractor's key word much like cavity is to the dentist.

Subluxations have very powerful negative effects on the body and have been proven through scientific research to possibly cause such things as: migraine and tension headaches, back pain, neck pain, numbness or pain in the arms or legs, heartburn and indigestion, allergies, asthma, or other neurological conditions. Subluxations are most commonly caused by trauma or repetitive stresses, and just like the previously mentioned cavity often do not have symptoms until very late.
