What is this place?

And why am I here? If you are reading this, then you are either a person who already comes to the office for some reason or another, or you have been sent here by someone who does. It’s hard to explain what we do here. We find and fix vertebral subluxations. Ah, so we fix back pain. Frequently, yes... but... no.
Actually, it’s much bigger than that. MUCH BIGGER.

This is Science!

Chiropractic is not some half-baked new-age fancy-pants mystical back-cracking mumbo-jumbo jive! It’s an actual Science (and Art). What’s so crazy about the concept that structure determines function? What’s so suspicious about the concept that anything with moving parts actually needs to be maintained - and maybe even re-aligned - to ensure optimum function for the lifespan of the thing? Heck, even a mattress needs to be flipped and rotated every few weeks!

The Posture of Defeat

What does spinal alignment, muscle balance, posture, etc. have to do with MOOD? At a glance, it seems like more wacky chiropractor "nonsense" to imply that good posture and alignment can have a direct bearing on one's emotional state and mood, right? But don't forget, we're fully integrated beings. The mind and the body are not separate; they are one unit. Everyone knows that when someone is upset or down, their posture changes. The loser walks away slumped over, eyes downcast, mouth turned down, as opposed to the victor, who is upright, chest open, eyes up and mouth in a smile, right?
