1.  WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC?

Chiropractic is a drug-free, holistic healing method that removes interference to the nervous system, amplifying the body’s innate intelligence for optimum function and life expression.  As Chiropractors, we work with the body’s instinctual and natural ability to heal itself,  from the inside out, addressing the cause of a problem rather than numbing symptoms.

2.  WHAT TYPE OF TECHNIQUE DO YOU PRACTICE AND WHAT IS YOUR OFFICE’S HEALING PHILOSOPHY?

We believe that the body has an amazing ability to heal, and is capable of being a self-healing, stress-transforming being.  What sets us apart, is that we want to help you get more out of your body and your life, through a joyous healing process of self-realization and awareness, that instills trust in you being able to listen to your body’s messages and the messages of life around you.  Our goal is to not just alleviate your symptoms, and then pretend that you are healthy because you no longer notice them.  True health and well-being comes from a balance of physical, mental/emotional, and chemical interactions inside of the Mind-Body.  We offer a more long-term solution by helping your body to heal the cause of the problem, rather than just the side-effects or the symptoms.  We do not believe in “maintaining” a person, when we know that so much more is possible!  We know that a healthier, richer life is a result of providing your body and nervous system with “advancing” strategies that strengthen and empower your Body-Mind.

My treatment plan for each person is custom-blend of what I think will best help to serve that person’s health and wellness goals.  My main focus is a low-force type of Chiropractic called “Network Spinal Analysis”.  For some people, I also use an Activator (a spring-loaded adjusting instrument), a drop piece, and my hands for gentle, specific adjustments to the spine and extremities as needed.  I also do private breathe sessions with people called “Somato Respiratory Integration”.

3. WHAT IS NETWORK SPINAL ANALYSIS (NSA)?

Network Spinal Analysis is Reorganizational Healing and Wellness for the Mind-Body-Spirit.  Gentle touch contacts to precise areas along the spine, breathing, body movement, and coaching are all part of this interactive, cutting-edge care.  NSA helps the nervous system to unwind and to release tension patterns in the body (from past & present physical, chemical, and emotional stresses).  Over time, the body moves from a defensive state to a relaxed state, as the nervous system learns how to release stress, rather than to store it, allowing the individual to have more energy for repair, growth, and well-being.

4.  WHAT IS SOMATO RESPIRATORY INTEGRATION (SRI)?

Somato Respiratory Integration is one of the most powerful and simple tools for life transformation.  SRI utilizes a combination of breathing patterns, movement, light touch, and focused mental attention to coordinate the Mind-Body connection.   SRI allows you to experience your body’s innate rythms and to gain the messages from those rhythms.  SRI is a stress-transforming tool that you can take into your daily life and use yourself to reconnect, to focus, to gain personal insight, and to relax.

5.  WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS TO RECEIVING THIS TYPE OF CARE?

The goal of NSA & SRI care is to not only help you to live a healthy life, but to live in a high level of Wellness- meaning we want you to experience a good quality of life in all areas, no matter what symptoms you are experiencing in your body and in your life.  A retrospective study, conducted by the University of California Medical School in Irvine, of 2800 people under Network Care, reported the following positive improvements in their lives due to Network:

-PHYSICAL WELL-BEING (reduced pain, increased spinal flexibility, more energy, fewer cold & flu symptoms, fewer headaches, improved allergies & skin rashes)

-EMOTIONAL & PYSCHOLOGICAL STATE (less distress about physical pain, more positive feelings about self, less depression, more interest in life, improved concentration, less anxiety, interest in maintaing a healthy lifestyle)

-IMPROVED RESPONSE TO STRESS (ability to cope with daily challenges, family, significant relationship, work, finances, and health)

-IMPROVED LIFE ENJOYMENT (increased relaxation and sense of well-being, openness to guidance by inner voice feelings, confidence when dealing w/ adversity, incidence of feelings joy/happiness, compassion & acceptance of others, increase in healthy habits, romantic life, physical appearance, actual life accomplishments)

6.  “HOW DID I END UP LIKE THIS??”

This is tough question to answer, because our current health status is not due to just one thing, but an accumulation of our life’s events.  We categorize stress into three main categories:  Physical, Mental/Emotional, and Chemical.

-PHYSICAL STRESSES: the birth process, injuries, falls, sports, poor posture, car & bike accidents, chronic repetitive motions for our jobs and hobbies (computer work, reading, lifting, etc.), poor physical health, diseases, weight problems, abuse, etc.

-MENTAL/EMOTIONAL: anxiety, fear, depression, finances, family & significant other, friends, difficulty sleeping/relaxing, death, divorce, moving, emotional & sexual abuse, etc.

-CHEMICAL: drugs & medications (prescribed, over-the-counter, and recreational), poor diet, food additives & pesticides, tobacco, exposure to toxins and fumes, environmental pollutants, etc.

7.  WHAT IF I DON’T HAVE ANYTHING “WRONG” WITH ME, OR ANY SYMPTOMS, CAN I STILL BENEFIT FROM CHIROPRACTIC AND NETWORK CARE?

Even if you’re already eating right, exercising, meditating, etc., Chiropractic care will help you to get maximum benefit out of your lifestyle.  Many people are walking around in a physiologically stressed state, and don’t feel it, or are used to it.  When our body is in a stressed state (called “Fight or Flight”), the exercises we do and the food that we eat have less effectiveness than when our body is relaxed, or in a stress-free state.  It is no secret now, to anyone, that stress is linked to most diseases and can even kill us!  Many of our clients do initially come in to see us for a physical complaint or symptoms, but as they start to feel what great health feels like it, and all of the many benefits, they choose to continue wellness care as a healthly lifesytle habit.

8.  IS CHIROPRACTIC CARE APPROPRIATE AND SAFE FOR MY CHILDREN?

Absolutely.  We are a family practice serving people of all ages.  Our care is safe and gentle for pregnant moms & infants to elders.  We use gentle, precise adjustments that are low-risk for any age group.  Pregnant moms who receive care report less back pain and easier, quicker labors.  Children who receive care are less likely to get ear infenctions and sick.  This care helps people of ages to integrate stress with more ease, and this helps everyone to live a better life:  physically, emotionally, and mentally.

9.  HOW DO I KNOW IF YOU CAN HELP ME, AND IF I CAN FIT IT INTO MY SCHEDULE AND MY BUDGET?

The top 3 questions we get from prospective practice members are, “Can you help me?”, “How long will it take?”, and “How much will it cost?”

The best way to answer those questions is to come in and visit our office.  You can always schedule a free 15 minute consultation.  We find the answers to those questions by performing a thorough history and examination.  After completing those steps, we will go over what we found, if we think we can help (or who can), how long it would take, and how much it would cost.  It is a great time to start care, as our rates and plan options are very affordable now to allow us to serve our needing stressed out population in today’s economy.
