WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC?

Chiropractic principles have been known and applied by civilization for thousands of years, but the first modern chiropractic adjustment was performed by D.D. Palmer on a deaf janitor named Harvey Lillard in Davenport, Iowa, 1895.  Lillard’s hearing returned after a neck adjustment and Palmer originally thought that he had discovered a cure for deafness! Patients with heart problems, stomach ailments, menstrual troubles, migraine headaches, allergies, the flu, epilepsy, and back pain also responded positively to Palmer’s spinal adjustments.  Palmer soon understood that his treatments enabled  people to recover by tapping into the innate self healing capacity of their own bodies stored in their very own nervous systems.

Chiropractic care can play a major role in solving our national pain and stressful society if enough people learn what it really is and what it can do to improve and protect their health before symptoms manifest into catastrophic situations. Chiropractic respects and works with the inborn wisdom of the body, offering a natural way for families to diminish pain, restore and enhance mental and physical health all while providing greater protection from sickness and disease.

VERTEBRAL SUBLUXATIONS

A vertebral subluxation is nerve impingement that causes interference or inaccurate communication of the nerve messages between your brain and your body.  Vertebral subluxations occur in the spinal system when we experience a physical, emotional, mental or chemical trauma.  The consequence of this miscommunication results in pain and/or unresolved neurological conflict that alters our thoughts, feelings, actions, and behaviors.    The removal of vertebral subluxations is the primary goal of Dr. McGlynn, which results in less pain and stress to the patient.
