"BUT DOC, I DON'T HURT ANYMORE. WHY AM I STILL COMlNG IN?"

If you are like most chiropractic patients, you would have never set foot in our office unless you had some symptom or symptoms which became so unbearable you could no longer ignore them. Then, we examined you and found the cause of your symptoms. In other words, we found the problem: vertebral subluxation (spinal misalignment causing nerve irritation). And in many cases, we found your problem had been there many years. So why is there such a long time between the onset of the problem and your awareness of it ? Quite frankly, your body is so well-equipped for keeping itself functioning that it ofren does not use its energy to warn you of small, developing problems. Unfortunately, most diseases are a process which begins with a small, developing problem which worsens over months or years ... and they go undetected until you become aware of the damage that has been done. Consider this list of conditions which may have few or no symptoms until their end-stages: Arrhythmia Atherosclerosis Atrial fibrillation Atriovenuicular block Benign prostatic hypertrophy Breast cancer Carcinoid syndrome Cardiomyopathy Cervical erosion Cervical spondylosis Cervical cancer Colorecral cancer Cholelithiasis Coccidioidomycosis Cor pulmonale Coronary artery disease Diabetes mellitUS Diverticular disease Emphysema Encephalitis (viral or aseptic) Fibroid tumors of uterus Glomerulonephritis Hyperbilirubinemia Hypertension Osteoarthritis Osteoporosis Ovarian cancer Ovarian cyst Paget's disease Pilonidal cyst Polycystic kidney Polycythemia Polyps of large bowel Prostate cancer Pulmonary valve stenosis Pyelonephritis (chronic) Renal calculi Renal failure (chronic) Retinoblastoma Scoliosis Tooth decay Tuberculosis Valvular heart disease Venebral subluxations are often just as silent ... and just as deadly, since subluxations literally interrupt the communication betWeen your brain and body. Therefore, since subluxations are both silent and deadly, we want you as our patient to be committed to three goals: 1.) Following your care plan until your subluxations are corrected (and not stopping once you'll "feel a little better") 2.) Maintaining your corrections through regular chiropractic maintenance visits and other positive health choices. 3.) Telling others you know about getting checked for vertebral subluxation, roen if thry have no symptoms.

Our purpose is to educate and adjust families toward optimal health
