Most people first come to a chiropractor upon recommendation of a friend or family member, looking for relief from low back or neck pain or headaches. We can of course help you with this, as Chiropractic is one of the most effective and cost effective options for those with back pain, neck pain and headaches.
However, this is just the tip of the iceberg of what is possible. Chiropractic is the science and art of maximizing health by optimizing the function of the nervous system. Because your nervous system is housed in your skull and spinal cord, which runs from your head to your low back, Chiropractors have a reputation for helping pain in these areas. But, because your brain controls every cell, muscle, organ and tissue in your body, your spinal cord serves as the vital connection between your brain each of your cells, muscles, organs and tissues, the effects of chiropractic extend beyond pain relief.
If your spine is out of alignment, the result is nerve interference, restricted motion, pain and decreased function. This phenomena of misaligned bone negatively impacts the nervous system and over time leads to weakness, inflammation and disease.
“We specialize in helping people restore health without drugs or surgery.”
Dr. Crippen performs specialized testing to locate exactly where your spine may be out of alignment, a condition Chiropractors call a subluxation. Once found, specific, gentle and non-invasive corrections are made to restore optimal nerve flow, get you out of pain and restore 100% function naturally.
