True Correction vs Temporary Relief

Your body is an amazing, but incredibly complex machine, and like the computer system it is, a single pathway that is out of place can cause a multitude of problems in the vital functions of your organs, nerves, muscles and even your base cells. These pathways start in the brain and travel throughout your spine and nervous system. Without good spinal health, your brain experiences a sub-optimal connection with the rest of your body.

When your spinal bones aren’t aligned properly, this can lead to a variety of health issues. From aches and pains, headaches, to lack of mobility, a chiropractor knows how to alleviate these problems using natural, hands-on and non-invasive approaches to correcting spinal misalignments and allow your body to once again heal itself as it should.

 We are currently in a health crisis in America. We live in a society that spends more money on healthcare than any other country, yet rank horribly compared to other countries in terms of life expectancy and infant mortality. This newest generation is the first ever that will not live as long as their parents! Let that sink in for a moment.

Our technology, resources and research in medicine are incredible and continue to improve. So why the devastating rankings and poor health outcomes?  Our health preservation, illness prevention and stress management system is completely broken. Traditionally, people are labeled and treated based on their symptoms. Well, what are symptoms? They are signals your body gives to identify an underlying problem, much like a fire alarm going off in your house. Now, if we take the batteries out of the fire alarm, eliminating the “symptom” have we addressed the real cause of the problem? No, and the fire that caused the initial symptom is allowed to keep burning causing more damage.  This is important, because treating symptoms will never address the root cause of what is truly taking place. 

Symptoms are very important in healthcare, but at Adapt Chiropractic we dive deeply into the root cause of your symptoms, help correct the cause of your aches, pains, and dysfunction through a gentle and specific chiropractic care model you can’t find anywhere else!

The Winsor Autopsies

Can an Unhealthy Spine Affect Internal Organs?

At the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Henry Winsor conducted an experiment based on chiropractors claim that by adjusting the vertebrae they can relieve stomach troubles, ulcers, menstrual cramps, thyroid conditions, kidney disease, constipation, heart disease, lung and other diseases. In this experiment, he dissected both human and animal cadavers to see if there was any relationship between any diseased internal organs discovered on autopsy and the vertebrae with the nerves that went to the organs. Dr. Winsor dissected 75 human and 72 cat cadavers. He found nearly 100% correlation between minor curvatures of the vertebrae and diseases of the internal organs.
