Chiropractic Care & You
More and more people are turning to chiropractic care because they seek a natural approach to health while minimizing the need for drugs and surgery for both themselves and their pets. Pain is often the primary reason people visit a Chiropractor or bring their pet to a Chiropractor. Upon receiving care for pain relief, they often report relief from other symptoms in addition to their initial concern. Today, people and animals with back or disc problems, stress, ear infections, headaches, colic, and immune system problems find relief and hope; even pregnant women and babies benefit from chiropractic care!
Chiropractic is a drug-free approach to health care. It is the Science, Art and Philosophy that utilizes the natural healing powers of all living creatures. It restores the important relationship between the body and the nervous system, helping it regain and, more importantly, maintain its health.
The goal of chiropractic is to improve overall well-being. Dr. Shaw uses a variety of techniques to help patients achieve their health goals including Diversified, Thompson, Activator and Gonstead.
Why Seek Help?
Chiropractic corrects subluxations (vertebrae or joints that are misaligned or not moving properly) that cause nervous system interference. Because the body is self-healing and self-regulating, interference with the nervous system will result in an impaired ability of the body to heal and regulate itself.
Subluxations affect the muscles, joints and even distant organs, glands and body functions. The result is a change in function – a change in health.
