A Note from Dr. Alaina

“I want to know your story and find out how you got to where you are today. Dysfunction and poor health do not happen overnight, which is why it is vital to understand each individual's life story. I hear so often from patients that “this is just the way that I am,” they have normalized poor function and limited quality of life. I am here to tell you that life does not have to be merely an unending state of survival mode. Even where other systems, even other chiropractors, have failed at helping you to alleviate years of pain or limitations, our unique and different approach provides deep healing within the body and literally transforms your life. I want you to step back and look at your life…. If you are one of the people out there that looks into your future and you see pain, limitations, or poor long term quality, then call us. Let us help you manifest a different future. A future full of youthful enjoyment, longevity, and achieving a long life full of memories, love, and fulfillment.”

Why Chiropractic Care is Important

Posture is the foundation of health. The spinal column is what gives the body the ability to have strong healthy posture. At the core of strong healthy posture is a nervous system that is relaxed and has the ability to engage, respond, and thrive in a stressful world. Over time, due to sudden stresses, like trauma/injury, or more importantly accumulated stresses from daily habits our posture shifts out of its strong healthy alignment. Over time these postural distortions diminish the effective communication between your nervous system and the rest of your body. The longer these shifts persist in the spine the more the body breaks down over time and leads to symptoms like restless sleep, muscular pain, numbness/tingling, poor concentration, fatigue, poor coordination, digestive issues, headaches, and much more.

Prevention and health optimization is key! People tend to wait for the onset of pain to tell them when something is wrong with their body. Just like operating a car without oil can lead to engine problems, postural distortions lead to biomechanical issues such as chronic pain and arthritis later in life. In general, when your body is not in alignment, you may not be your best, most vibrant, healthy self, now or in the future!
