Your nervous system is constantly adapting to external stress. Stress can come in many forms including physical, chemical, and psychological. As long as your internal resistance (nervous system) is able to adapt to the external stress, your body remains in balance and healthy. If your internal resistance in unable to adapt to the external stress, it begins to shut down and subluxation occurs.
Do You Have a Healthy Fuse Box?
Your spinal column is much like the fuse box in your house. If a system in your house is overloaded you will blow a fuse. If a system in your body becomes overloaded, it will cause the nervous system to respond by creating a subluxation. Your nervous system will increase its tone, contract spinal muscles, and intentionally move spinal bones out of alignment. This begins the process of dis-ease. Subluxations are the body’s way of shutting down parts of your system in order to keep the rest functioning closer to normal. Subluxations are a natural short term solution to an over stressed system. Left long term, this shutting down of your system does not allow the body to function efficiently and will eventually cause further breakdown and disease.
How Does Chiropractic Keep You Healthy?

Chiropractic care is the detection and removal of subluxation, much like running down the basement to put all the breakers back where they are supposed to be. Since our nervous system is constantly adapting to the stress in our environment, it I suggest having your spine checked, and “tuned up” on a regular bases. Optimally I recommend my practice members get checked once a week as part of their healthy lifestyle. Incidentally that is the same recommendation for my family and the people I love.
