Where does health come from?
Does it come from pills or potions?
Does it come from risky surgery?
The Nervous system controls and co-ordinates all functions of your body. Any interference with the nervous system cause loss of function. Those with the loss of function comes the loss of health.
There is one thing that causes interference to the nervous system, and that is the Vertebral Subluxation. With Subluxation comes the loss of health and the presence of disease.
What's the purpose of Chiropractic
The present day Doctor of Chiropractic is the only health care professional who is competently trained in the detection, location and correction of the Vertebral Subluxation. It requires years of training and clinical practice to master the analysis and procedures needed to understand and correct the Vertebral Subluxation completely.
The focus of medicine is on germs and blood. Chiropractic is different. Chiropractic is focused on helping the nervous system work the way it is intended to work. The medical approach puts chemicals into your bloodstream to change the way your body functions. Besides the side effects, drugs often ignore the real cause of the problem.
In many cases the real problem is the Vertebral Subluxation Complex. This is pressure placed upon the nerves when a vertebrae moves out of its proper alignment. How can this affect you? The nervous system controls and coordinates ALL functions of your body. If there is a interference with the nerve signal to a given part of the body, that part will not be able to function at 100% of it's abilities.
It is the responsibility of the Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) to locate Subluxations and reduce or correct them. This is accomplished by a series of chiropractic adjustments specifically designed to correct the Vertebral Subluxation in your spine. The intent is to restore your bodies ability to regulate and heal itself. Without drugs. Without surgery.
What is a Subluxation?
Instead of treating your ache or pain, Dr. Blain will analyze your spine and begin to correct the cause of your complaint. Namely the Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC). By correcting this condition, your body (tissues and organs) can function more normally and heal itself.
Subluxations are in reality a combination of changes occurring at the same time. Since the joints of your spine are also close to your spinal cord and nerve roots, too much or too little joint motion can have serious effects. There are five components to the Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC). These are:
- SPINAL KINESIOPATHOLOGY or loss of proper motion or position of the vertebra, also possible degeneration.
- NEUROPATHOPHYSIOLOGY or nervous system disfunction as pain or tingling.
- MYOPATHOLOGY or muscle weakness, spasms, loss of elasticity or atrophy.
- HISTOPATHOLOGY or changes of the tendons, ligaments, blood supply or other tissues with swelling and inflammation that may lead to degeneration.
- PATHOPHYSIOLOGY or nerve disfunction and irreversible damage. The end result of the previous components.
To be truly healthy, it is vital that your nervous system be functioning free of interference from Subluxations. Our goal at the SPINAL REHABILITATION CENTER is to allow your body to return to the highest level of health possible by correcting VSC.
How do you get Subluxations?
There are three basic causes of Subluxations.
- PHYSICAL - Includes slips and falls, accidents, repetitive motions and improper lifting.
- EMOTIONAL - Such as prolonged grief, anger and fear or anxiety.
- CHEMICAL - Which can include drugs ( prescription as well as illegal), Alcohol, pollution and improper diet.
How do I know if I have a Subluxation?
Unfortunately you may have a Subluxation right now and not realize it. A Subluxation can be similar to high blood pressure giving no symptoms. A thorough chiropractic examination can reveal the location and severity of any Subluxations you may have.
Subluxations can be reduced or corrected by chiropractic adjustments; Are these adjustments safe?
ABSOLUTELY YES! An extensive study on chiropractic done by the New Zealand Government found that adjustments are "Remarkably Safe". By avoiding harmful drugs and risky surgery, chiropractic enjoys an excellent track record. Compare the statistics: Adjustments are 100x safer then taking over-the-counter pain relievers.
What makes the "Popping" sound during the adjustment?
Unfortunate, many people fear this sound which is nothing more then gasses and fluids in the joint shifting. It's much like opening a bottle of champagne or removing a suction cup. No, it's no bones popping! The sound is interesting, but it is not a guide to the value of the adjustment.
Can I adjust myself?
No. Some people like to make their joints "pop", but that's not an adjustment. They are just loosening what is already loose. Worse, damage can occur by repeatedly "popping" these joints. Popping fingers and necks are NOT adjustments.. Adjustments are specific and takes years to master. Even a chiropractor with years of training cannot adjust him or herself. They must consult a colleague to benefit from chiropractic care.
Can I have chiropractic adjustments after back surgery?
Yes, rest assured Dr. Blain will avoid the surgically modified area of your spine. Just because you have had surgery on your spine at one area does not mean all area's are Subluxation free. As an example, you may have had an lumbar fusion (lower back) and still need chiropractic care for neck problems. Understand that surgery often causes spinal instability above or below the surgical intervention level.
What if my insurance doesn't cover chiropractic?
Your health affects everything you do, your family and friends. Health is your most valuable possession. Of course we all have the freedom to place a different value on our health. Ultimately, good health is your own personal responsibility.
Don't allow a profit - motivated insurance company or employer to make decisions about what you do with your health. It is quite obvious that your insurance does not base their reimbursement on your health care needs therefore, neither should you.

Who can chiropractic care help?

Each patient at the SPINAL REHABILITATION CENTER is treated as an individual and care is modified to fit their needs. Infants, children, seniors and even failed back surgery patients can benefit.
