Your backbone is your foundation to health!

Your backbone (spine) encases your nervous system. That system is responsible for the control and regulation of all body functions. You are a self-healing mechanism... When your body is functioning properly that is. However, when your nervous system is disturbed because of stress, trauma, chemicals, or environmental conditions, your body's ability to regulate itself is diminished and so is its ability to heal itself.

At BackBone Chiropractic, we use the latest technology available — the Insight Millennium Subluxation Station — for measuring nervous system function. Since only 10% of your nervous system carries "pain messages" there is a lot to be learned about the condition of your nervous system that may not yet be painful.

Adjustments to the spine are safe and effective for restoring balance to the nervous system. Your nervous system controls the function of all the organs, muscles and joints in your body. Therefore any malfunction in your nervous system can, over time, cause malfunction in any of these areas. The doctors at Backbone Chiropractic are very gentle and highly specific in adjustments to your spine.

At the heart of chiropractic care is this simple wisdom: Treat the problem itself, not just the symptoms. If you only look at the symptoms, the underlying problem is still there and will keep coming back until it's treated. Listen to ALL the messages your body is trying to give you...ask yourself, "Is this normal?" For example, it is not normal to have headaches once a week. You do not have headaches because of a lack of aspirin in your body, either.

The science of chiropractic centers around the body's spine. The spine houses and protects the spinal cord—it is the "switchboard" through which nerve impulses are transmitted from the brain to all parts of the body. Every event, emotion, feeling, thought or activity of the body is processed through the nervous system.

In the event of an injury, misaligned vertebrae can interfere with nerve transmissions, inhibit mobility and cause pain or discomfort. Chiropractic treatment realigns the vertebrae so the nerve impulses are not restricted. When the spine is properly aligned, the cause of pain and malfunction is removed, and the body will return to normal.

Misalignments of the spine are known as subluxations. For proper health, it is essential that your nervous system be free from any interference caused by subluxations. Subluxations can cause interference to the nervous system at any place nerves exit. They can adversely affect the function of various parts of your body, and ultimately affect your health.

Only 10% of your nervous system carries "pain messages." The other 90% is responsible for carrying out all of the functions of your body. Make a choice to find out how your nervous system is functioning.

At BackBone Chiropractic, we use the latest technology available — the Insight Millennium Subluxation Station — for measuring nervous system function. This technology is to detect subluxations by measuring physiologic activity. The term subluxation describes an abnormal position of the vertebra which disturbs communication within the Central Nervous System.

The Subluxation Station offers painless and non-invasive tests that can detect these subluxations. Often, subluxations do not cause pain or discomfort until they progress to an advanced stage. The Subluxation Station allows us to accurately identify these problems before a patient even feels symptoms. The test results will allow the doctors at BackBone Chiropractic to prepare a specific individual care program.

Having a subluxation-free spine and nervous system is an essential component of optimum health.

The information about the spine at this Website is designed to give you a look at some of the relationships between the area of your spine and your nervous system. Keep in mind that your nervous system is much more complex than can be shown here.
