Chiropractors are primary health care providers. They are the first line of defense for most health issues. Chiropractic is a wholistic approach to healthcare that focuses on treating the whole body rather than just symptoms or specific parts of it.

Our focus is to restore proper body function and alignment through spinal adjustment and other therapies such as massage therapy, exercise therapy, nutritional counseling and lifestyle counseling.

How Chiropractic Supports the Body

In the human condition, there are three types of stress: physical, chemical and mental/emotional.

Chiropractic can help support the human body in overcoming many different conditions and disorders. It is a way to support the body's alignment and function instead of treating a condition or disorder. The misnomer in society is that something from the outside is fixing or curing a condition or problem. What's more important is that chiropractic isn't a treatment for a condition as much as it is a way to support the human condition - which is exposed to stress physically, mentally and chemically.

The human body is brilliant.

And yet, we continue to treat it like a machine that can be fixed with surgery or drugs. As though the human body were not connected to the mind and spirit. As though our emotions and thoughts weren't important for our health and well-being.

Your Body Can Heal Itself

Your body has the ability to heal itself, we see this when our body heals its own wounds. It works the same way on the inside. We will work with you and teach you how to maintain your lifestyle to live as comfortably as you can without the need for prescription drugs.

As a chiropractor, I take very seriously my role to help educate patients and inform them on the choices first by showing them how incredible their body is. When they come in with a symptom, pain, problem, challenge, or misalignment we start a program of care that gets them feeling better. That's always the first step in that process, I'm teaching from day one -as to how this happened, how it will continue to happen if it's not corrected, and what they can do in the long run.

It’s crucial to maintain a healthy spine and nervous system. That is the most precious asset in health. If you lose your ability to heal, mend, flex, bend, walk, run, have strength, energy, adapt to the world and coordinate yourself in the environment, you've lost your number one asset, you're most crucial asset. No money can buy that back when we lose that.

Your spine is an incredible structure

The spinal cord, which contains all of your nerve fibers, and the brain are housed in the cranium—a vault designed to protect them from harm. Your spine is comprised of movable vertebrae that protect, move and align your body for movement.

Nerves emit from between these vertebrae, surrounded by soft tissue and cartilage to help them slide, glide, and move correctly. Each vertebra has many different joints around it; some areas have more joints than others. The lower back moves differently than the mid back, which moves differently than both the neck (therefore we can do some movements easier than others).

When you're a patient at Anunson Chiropractic, you're in control. We believe that a person's health is their own responsibility, and we want to empower you to take control of yours. That's why we offer a variety of options for treatment and care.

When it comes time for your checkup, we'll sit down with you and discuss what's been going on in your life and how it's impacted your health. You'll also get the chance to tell us what your goals are—whether they're long-term or short-term, and whether they involve maintaining your current state of health or growing into something new.

We'll work together to find the best treatment plan for where you're at right now, so that when our time together comes to an end, you'll feel confident that your body is ready to take care of itself and move forward into whatever new challenges await.
