ADJUSTMENT

Chiropractic’s focus is on the nervous system: brain, brain stem, spinal column, spinal cord, and nerves. By having an optimized nervous system our bodies can function better.  Our immune system is enhanced and we are less likely to become sick, pain is reduced, and general performance is better.  We generally feel better which impacts us physically and mentally.   It is important to make sure the nervous system is functioning properly with both efferent and afferent nerve impulses.  Efferent is information going from the brain to the rest of the body and afferent is information going from the body back to the brain.  Adjustment is the means by which we can make that information flow smoothly.

​

Consider these questions:

​

• Are you experiencing pain that is either acute or chronic that others have not been able to help? 

• Have you or others noticed or commented on your posture? 

• Have you ever desired to have the ability to have better performance either in your daily tasks or even in sporting endeavors?  

• Have you ever desired to reclaim your life and health?

 

If you answered yes to any of the above questions then you may have found a solution to your problem.  Here at Optimized Performance Chiropractic and Wellness our goal is to help you reach your goals and help you achieve your desired outcome.  We look at our role as not only your healthcare provider but also as an advocate and team member.  If you are in pain, we want to help you alleviate it.  If you are tired of (poor posture and the negative effects)(B) of it then we can share with you how we can help with that.  If you want to up your performance, whether it is in daily activities or in your favorite sport, we can share with you how we can partner with you to accomplish those goals.

It is incredibly important to have our nervous system functioning properly for us to be at our best both mentally and physically.  We are aware that our brains do run the show.  When the incoming and outgoing nerve pathways are not functioning properly we can experience pain, especially in chronic conditions. We may have a lack of balance and proprioception.  We can experience problems with our internal organs.  Nerve pain may even be a result.  There are many conditions and problems that arise from a faulty nervous system.

​

Traditionally, when nerve pathways are functioning properly, it is thought that the body is now self correcting.  This is only partially true.  This is where adjustments come in.  The things that the body cannot correct are vertebrae that are stuck forward.  The reason vertebrae get stuck forward and the body cant self correct is because we don't have muscle attachments pulling in the direction needed for correction.  Since the body can't correct these vertebra, it will twist and lock them up to prevent anymore instability and will then proceed to move and twist things that it can in order to compensate for the things that it can't fix.  Our spines and the rest of our body will literally become twisted.  This process happens over and over from traumas and even micro-traumas that we don't even recall.

​

Our adjusting protocol allows us to find and fix the forward stuck bones.  This process relieves the interference with the flow of nerve information but also reduces the stresses throughout the entire musculoskeletal system.
