Without a healthy spine and nerve system, you can't enjoy what you love to do, it's impossible! Chiropractic care can help you live an active, healthy life without limits.

Our goal is to get to the cause of your health problem and help your body to heal itself by removing nerve interference, naturally, without the use of drugs and surgery. We can help you accomplish this through precision chiropractic adjustments. Here is a simplified explanation of how chiropractic works:

When the neurological circuits have integrity, your body works as it was designed. Every cell, tissue and system of your body is controlled and regulated by your nervous system. Nerve impulses are sent from the brain out to the organs and tissues of your body. Nerve impulses are sent back to the brain to make sure everything is working correctly. That's the definition of true health! (just like this closed safety pin) If spinal vertebrae pinch or choke nerve tissue, signals going from or to the affected organ or tissue can be diminished. (i.e., constipation, slow reflexes) If spinal vertebrae chafe or irritate nerve tissue, signals going from or to the affected organ or tissue can be excited. (i.e., diarrhea, restless legs) The moving bones of the spine are common culprits. When this happens, affected organs and tissues don't work right and ill-health can result. Chiropractors locate and reduce these nervous system disturbances (close the safety pin!) with safe and natural chiropractic adjustments. With restored nervous system integrity your health can return, without drugs or surgery. It's really that simple!

When you have interference to this communication and command link your health is negatively affected and pain, symptoms and imbalances result. Subluxations can be caused by slips, falls, trauma, the birthing process, poor postural habits and many other stresses of life, just to name a few.

Correcting a Subluxation

Only a chiropractor can help you correct subluxations and give you proper advice concerning chiropractic care. No other health profession emphasizes YOUR ability to heal with proper nerve function. No other health professional has the experience, education, or training to do so. Corrections, or chiropractic adjustments, are the heart of what we do. The adjustment is where we restore proper spinal joint function to your body and you begin to HEAL YOURSELF through a properly functioning nervous system. It is really as simple as that!

Each and every chiropractic adjustment is so important to your overall health and well- being, that it must be the first step in building your active, healthy life. Each visit will build on the last to help you achieve your health goals and possibilities. Chiropractic adjustments are done very gently, safely and are very effective.

Our proactive approach to a healthy, active life makes chiropractic a great choice for infants, children, teenagers, adults, and seniors. Make chiropractic your first step, you deserve it!

Do I NEED Chiropractic?

There are some who don't feel they NEED chiropractic. Let's look at the difference between "sick" care and "health" care to get some perspective. Sick care is reactive. People become customers only when they are stricken by, and react to, a specific condition or complaint...while wellness is proactive. People voluntarily become customers. WHY? -- to feel healthier, to reduce the effects of aging, and to avoid becoming customers of the sickness business. The "sick" business consists of: drugs, surgery, and replacement. So my question to you becomes, which approach would you like to follow, knowing what you have read above about what chiropractic can do for you?

As a culture, we are moving toward wellness strategies everyday, but the "sick" care industry is attempting to retrofit old ideas into "wellness". For example, most of "medicine" is promoting early detection protocols as "wellness" services. Just go to a "Health Fair" and you will see what we are talking about. Such services may include such things as screening for hypertension, cancer, or other medical conditions. While there is a place for early disease detection, it should not be confused with a wellness strategy.

Similarly, some medical and chiropractic practitioners employ fear-driven preventive strategies. People are encouraged to get their spines checked, or control their blood pressure because they fear the consequences of not doing so. As with strategies based upon the early detection of disease, such approaches should not be confused with wellness care.

You NEED a wellness strategy that includes chiropractic so that you don't limit your Possibilities! Burtch Chiropractic can help you.
