Chiropractic Naturally

We've been serving the greater Amherst/Souhegan Valley community with quality Chiropractic care since 1997.
As a Chiropractor, I am aware that many of my patients may have common diagnosis; however I do realize that everyone responds to treatment differently.
For this reason, I will tailor a specific plan of action to meet your healthcare needs and goals.
Our approach is simple.
Your most valuable possession is your health and in most cases, our first meeting is due to your lost health.
But our commitment for your healthcare is viewed upon four paths which can easily become the same the road.

Chiropractic is a health care profession that is defined by the science, art and philosophy.
Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that the nervous system, mainly your brain and spinal cord, controls the function of every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body.
Your body is self-regulating and self-healing.
Your brain sends information to other parts of your body by the nervous system through the nerves which start at your spinal cord inside the spinal vertebrae/bones of your skeleton.

When a vertebrae becomes misaligned or moves out of its normal position, this is referred to in the Chiropractic profession as a subluxation.
Subluxations can be caused by a wide range of issues ranging from a minor slip or bump to a car accident or any sudden trauma.
When a vertebrae shifts out of alignment, it may put damaging pressure on to the spinal nerves causing an interruption to the vital nerve flow within your body.
This pressure comes with a price.
The subluxation interrupts the natural pathways that the messages sent from the brain need to be clear in order to be completed properly.

Chiropractic works by removing imbalances both structural and postural, keeping your spine properly aligned and moving thereby ensuring proper function of your nervous system which is located inside and inbetween the spinal vertebrae/bones.
The nervous system is a vast network of nerves that send signals from your brain, down your spinal cord to all the other networks of nerves throughout the body that make your body work in full function.
These networks of nerves must be allowed to flow freely without any interruption/irritation to the nerve otherwise when your spine alignment is misaligned due to physical trauma, chemical toxins or emotional stress, the nerves exiting your spine become irritated and compromised thus promoting a spinal degeneration process.

The first stage of spinal degeneration is when there is a minor loss of normal spine balance and spinal curvature.
The surrounding features of the spine such as nerves, discs and joints begin to age quicker and are continually more stressed.
This stage of the degeneration process rarely is accompanied with any major pain.
At this point, there is a good chance that with the proper care, you can return to normal.
In the second stage of spinal degeneration, there is often a narrowing of the discs and potentially deformation in the bones.
