Chiropractic Care is performed by Doctors of Chiropractic who are trained professionals dedicated to improving the function of the nervous system. The nervous system controls and regulates every cell in the human body. When the nervous system is malfunctioning, the body is not communicating well from within. When this happens, you're sick. Postural distortions, such as head tilt, and hip unleveling, helps reveal whether or not one is suffering from this. A poorly aligned spine is more susceptible to degenerative changes and injury as well. This can erode discs and joints over time. Breathing, strength, coordination, and overall energy levels are impacted leading to fatigue and inefficient body mechanics. Chiropractic is excellent for the entire family. Gentle and precise adjustments are given to improve alignment of the spine allowing the nervous system to function free of interference. Simply put, chiropractic improves overall function, by emphasizing the inherent recuperative power of the body to heal itself, without the use of drugs or surgery.

Thermography or Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging is a unique technology that takes pictures and creates a map of the infrared patterns of the body. It is different than other screening tools because it helps us to see function (physiology). MRI and X-ray detect anatomical changes so will miss such things as active inflammation or angiogenesis (increased blood supply as found in cancer). Angiogenesis is the very first stage of cancer, happening years before a tumor can be seen. There are now new treatments to interrupt angiogenesis and starve cancer cells, as long as you discover it first. That is why thermography is to important. It can detect angiogenesis even before the tumor has formed. Thermography was certified by the FDA in 1982.
