Over the next few weeks I am going to be answering questions that people just like you have about chiropractic care.
And one question that I get asked on a regular basis is … “what do chiropractors do?” So, this is where I would like to start today.
Chiropractors acknowledge that there are 2 categories of human disease. One is contagious infection and the other would be functional disorder.

It is something that you would catch from someone else who already has it.
Everything else would be a functional disorder.
How we treat functional disorders is by restoring normal bodily function.
And there are 3 reasons why your body would not function properly.
And these are critical for you to understand; 1) poor nutrition, 2) hormonal imbalances due to stress, 3) trauma. As a health coach I can help you with the first two, but my expertise as a chiropractor is trauma.
Did you know that by the time you are 13 years old, you have suffered over 1000 traumas?! Minor ones mostly but there are always some major ones.
Remember that trauma is what causes spinal misalignments. Spinal misalignments injure your nerves and when your nerves are injured, all kinds of functional disorders can result. And a good place to review all of these is the Chart of Effects of Spinal Misalignments found right on our home page.
We will continue with more on this next time but in the meantime if you have any questions on this topic or any other health concerns that you may have or your family may have, all you need to do is give us a call.
Remember that consultations are always free of charge and family appointments are always available.
And may I remind you that spinal problems do run in families and this is why we encourage you to have your children checked. Our phone number is 905 335 LIFE (5433).
