Here at Crawford Chiropractic we believe: Exercise, diet and chiropractic care = HEALTH. Sitting too long in front of your computer, sliding into second base, heavy backpacks, naps on the couch, slips and falls, old worn out mattresses, stress at work/home, nursing, bike/car crashes, gardening. Who are the crazy ones? Those who THINK that more medications will cure their problems or the ones who KNOW the body is a miracle that can take care of itself?

The longer you wait the more unseen damage there is and the longer it seems to take to recover. Because the nerves to the arms and hands exit the spine through the injured area of the neck, numbness and tingling are common. Even lower back pain can result directly from the trauma, or as a reaction to the loss of proper spinal curves. Whether you've been in an accident, stressed at work, or over-exerted yourself in the garden, your body is constantly adapting to the environment.

The approach we use is based on our clinical judgment and years of experience. This handheld instrument delivers a carefully measured and directed thrust that is many times faster than is possible by hand, so less force needed. After identifying which vertebrae have lost their normal motion or position, a specific manual thrust is applied to free up "stuck" spinal joints.

So are slips and falls. Even being born! Today's environment constantly assaults us with chemicals. Drugs, preservatives, tobacco, alcohol, pollen and a host of other substances can affect our nervous system and muscle tone. When your body reacts by "tripping a circuit breaker" and causing subluxation, chiropractic care may help.

read moreWhat's wrong is your body is not functioning as it was intended. There is interference to your master control system- your nervous system. This is what chiropractors call Subluxation. This is brought about by toxicities and deficiencies in the way we eat, move and think. We must find what specific subluxations are affecting you and address the toxicities and deficiencies that are happening to you. Going to the gym, the dentist and eating veggies are great healthy habits, just like chiropractic.

The discs between spinal bones can be involved, too. Trauma can cause the soft, pulpy material in the middle to bulge, putting pressure on nearby nerves. Specific chiropractic adjustments can help improve spinal function. By restoring the way your spine works, discs and soft tissues may heal, nerve involvement may be reduced, pain can ease and better stability can return.
