Chiropractic maintains that the body possesses a unique innate wisdom that strives to maintain it in a state of good health. At the Alliance Chiropractic Wellness Center, our focus is on the upper cervical / upper neck region of the spine, which houses & protects the brain stem. When misaligned, this is the most serious kind of vertebral subluxation (misalignment).
Although the full spine is checked and adjusted as needed, the emphasis in our office is on the upper cervical region of the spine - the top two bones of the neck called the Atlas and the Axis. The reason for emphasizing the upper cervical spine is two-fold: One, because these bones are the most freely moving vertebrae in the spine and, thus, are most subject to misalignment.
Two, because this area of the spine houses and protects a part of the brain that extends out of the skull called the Medulla Oblongata. This area of the brain controls the autonomic nervous system which in turn controls the organs. If there is pressure on the brain stem, it is obviously more serious than misalignments (vertebral subluxations) in other areas of the spine.

Chiropractic's main area of interest is subluxation, a condition in which a vertebrae becomes slightly misaligned with an adjacent segment in such a way as to disturb nerve function.
The objective of chiropractic is to locate, analyze, and correct subluxation.
Chiropractic maintains that the body possesses a unique innate wisdom that strives to maintain it in a state of good health.
This intelligence strives to maintain normal heart rate, blood pressure, insulin production, etc.; this same intelligence also directs our bodily functions in continuously adapting to an ever changing environment.

Simply put - because you deserve to have the best life possible!
Chiropractic can help you perform at our best because your nerve system touches everything you do.
Chiropractic is for the entire family because it makes sense to have the whole family - including children - enjoy all of these benefits.
Parents often don't realize that children need chiropractic care too.
The most common reason a child may have a vertebral subluxation is the trauma of the birth process.
Rather than the mother pushing the child out, which is nature's way, the child is often pulled out of the birth canal.

The American Heritage Dictionary states that health is, "Optimal functioning with freedom from disease and abnormality."
The two components of that definition - optimal functioning and freedom from disease and abnormality identify the two different approaches in heath care.
Sick care is based upon a philosophy of health called mechanism.
Mechanism is a philosophy that views the body as a sophisticated machine, but a machine nonetheless, and that life is equal to the sum of the body parts.
The objective of sick care is to diagnose and treat disease - essentially destroy your enemy (disease) before it destroys you.
