Believe it or not, 𝒑𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈. 🥴 Pain notifies us that something is not right in our body.

But only about 10% of the nervous system’s job is to relay pain information. 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟, 𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞.

Adding a chiropractor to our wellness routine is crucial to ensuring that those hidden deficiencies are brought into the light and can be addressed once and for all. 💪

The cervical spine is the gatekeeper to the entire body.

The body is so beautifully designed in that each nerve root has a different responsibility. When people experience numbness and pain in their fingers they often think it’s carpal tunnel, when really the issue may be coming from the neck. Nerves extend down froth neck, across the shoulders, and into the fingertips.

It is vital to get to the origin of an issue so that any strategy for care can have lasting effects.

Bells Palsy, Tic Douloureux, “spiders crawling under the skin”.🕷

These issues are usually a sign there is nerve interference, preventing the body from working properly. 💥 With a simple adjustment, that interference can be removed and the nerves can begin to function properly again.

The nervous system is the backbone of the human body. It’s the superhighway that our brain uses to send messages to every organ, muscle, tissue, cell, bone, system in the body. Ironically, its main highway is our backbone. 😂

Sometimes we know the cause of our back pain and other times it a bit more mysterious. 🔮 Pain can manifest itself in a bunch of different ways - numbness, burning, pain in the bone, ‘spiders on the skin’, loss of sensation.

The body is a complicated character. Pain can manifest itself in many different forms. When dealing with sciatica, it’s possible to have pain, numbness, and tingling in the feet or toes, without the classic burning down the legs. This is why it’s so important to seek out the opinion of a chiropractor.

Our Story

Dr. Julie Peterson and her skilled team are dedicated to helping patients achieve and maintain proper spinal alignment to reach the optimal level of whole-body health. Many people believe that chiropractors are back doctors or that chiropractic care is only necessary to relieve pain, but chiropractic care is much more complex. Chiropractors are trained specialists who understand the way the spine and nervous system work together, and how proper alignment can maximize the body’s ability to properly self-regulate. The spine has many functions: helping people sit, walk, stand, bend, and lift. Perhaps the most important function of the spinal column is to protect the nervous system, but like a garden hose with a clamp, misaligned vertebrae can limit or cut off communication between the nervous system, the brain, and the body. That’s where chiropractors come in. We help patients find their ideal alignment which may relieve pain, but it also improves the patients’ overall vitality. Dr. Peterson and her chiropractic team are dedicated to helping people lead happy, healthy, pain-free lives through chiropractic care. We welcome patients from all walks of life, contact us to schedule a chiropractic assessment today.
