What's the difference between sick care and health care?

Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.

Why does chiropractic work?

Chiropractic works because your nervous system, consisting of your brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of your body, controls and regulates every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. A chiropractor locates and reduces areas of nervous system compromise (usually along the spine) so your capacity to heal is restored. Chiropractic works by helping your body work as it was designed.

Our Technique

We use a highly-effective adjusting approach to help improve spinal biomechanics and reduce nervous system interference. The approach we use is based on our judgment and years of experience.

The primary adjusting techniques we use is called Network Spinal Analysis. Network Spinal Analysis (NSA) is a relatively new approach to wellness and body awareness.

Amazingly, a light touch, at the right time and place, can help your body to abandon its defensive posture and begin true healing. The chiropractor applies a low-force touch to certain contact points, usually along the spine, at specific moments in a patient’s respiration cycle. These precise and gentle touches to the spine, alerts the brain to move away from a defense posture and embrace a more peaceful, resourceful state. This adjusting approach helps practice members develop new strategies for living and healing as the nervous system learns new ways to release mechanical tension.

NSA care advances through a series of increasingly higher levels. As the practice member’s body learns and heals, each level opens up new abilities to adapt, make healthier choices, enjoy life and experience a sense of “ease.”

Based on the outcomes of research conducted at the University of California, Irvine patients receiving NSA care reported significant improvement in physical health, emotional and mental health and reduced stress and greater life enjoyment. Seventy-six percent of the over 2800 patients improved in every category.
