Your Body Is Designed To Be Healthy
Welcome to a different way of thinking about health. At Family Chiropractic, we embrace vitalistic principles—the understanding that your body possesses an innate intelligence and remarkable ability to heal itself when functioning optimally.
You are not broken. You don't need "fixing." What you need is the removal of interference so your body can do what it was brilliantly designed to do: heal, adapt, and thrive.
This isn't about managing disease or suppressing symptoms. This is about supporting your body's natural wisdom and creating the conditions for optimal health to flourish.
The Foundation of ALL Health: Your Nervous System
Everything begins with your nervous system—the master control center for your entire body.
Every second of every day, your nervous system coordinates millions of functions without your conscious thought:
Your nervous system consists of:
- Your brain (the control center)
- Your spinal cord (the information superhighway)
- Billions of nerves (communication pathways to every cell, tissue, and organ)
When this system functions without interference, your body can heal, regulate, and maintain optimal health naturally. When interference occurs, health breaks down over time.

Understanding Subluxations
A subluxation is a misalignment in your spine that creates interference in your nervous system.
Think of it like a garden hose:
- When water flows freely, your garden thrives
- When you step on the hose (subluxation), the water can't reach the garden
- Your plants (organs, cells, tissues) can't get what they need to flourish
Subluxations don't happen overnight. They develop from three types of stress we all encounter daily:
Traumas (Physical Stress)
Toxins (Chemical Stress)
Thoughts (Mental/Emotional Stress)
Â
 What Happens When Subluxations Persist?
When nerve interference continues over time without correction, your body begins to break down.
Communication between your brain and body deteriorates.
HERE'S THE CRITICAL PART:
Pain is typically the LAST symptom to appear.
You can have subluxations affecting your health and function for months or even years before you feel discomfort. Just like a cavity in your tooth develops long before it hurts, subluxations create dysfunction long before they create pain.
This is why we focus on correcting subluxations and optimizing nervous system function—not just chasing symptoms or managing pain.

We don't heal you—your body does that brilliantly on its own when given the right conditions.
