Chiropractic Care

There are nearly as many different types of Chiropractic Care provision as there are chiropractors. Dr. Crouch uses a combination of Upper Cervical Chiropractic and Full Spine Adjusting to aid with your journey to better health and better living.

Chiropractic Healthcare.

Chiropractors focus on identifying correctable dysfunctions that limit your free ability to live well. These include:

• Dysfunctions in your health that are related to your nervous system & neurophysiology;
• The relationships between your emotions and your health and how that can be a barrier to living purposefully;
• Food, nutrition, and toxicity issues, and how they affect every cell in your body;
• Structural dysfunctions in your spine…and every other joint, muscle and nerve in your body.

In an inter-relational model of health, everything affects everything. The body is too complex to be described with one-way cause and effect relationships. The causes of limited health capacity are too complex to be looked at through any one set of glasses; It takes a multi-faceted approach to work with multi-faceted people.

Our goal in assisting you with correcting these dysfunctions is to allow you the space from which to identify and pursue your own best purpose. Something that’s hard enough with all of life’s distractions; harder still if “less-than-the-best” health is placing handcuffs on your ability to see your path clearly, know inside what it takes to move down that path, and take the necessary steps to make it real.

Why Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractors are natural health care providers. We know that, absent any obstructions that prevent your body from doing it’s best, your health can return to you naturally, and flourish. We human beings have an innate wisdom in our construct – deep inside our bodies, in every living cell – there is an impulse that continually seeks to organize our structure and function, to facilitate your best health…to help you get better, faster; live with greater purpose, and operate from a place of mind-body integrity that brings you joy, in life. This is what’s called “Vital Medicine”, as opposed to the common “Mechanical Medicine” we’ve come to expect from a typical doctors office visit.

Your body is a very complex system of trillions of cells, all working together toward the end goals of self-preservation and health. Many cells band together to form tissues. These tissues come together to form organs, such as your heart, lungs, liver, stomach…even all of the muscles in your body, which many people forget are ALSO organs. Many organs that work together form what are called systems (such as the digestive system, or the cardio-vascular system), and these systems are the machinery of life in your body. All of these systems, from the cell level, up, are governed by the nervous system; the brain, spinal cord, and all of the nerves and neuro-peptides that interact and communicate with them. Your brain is the main computer that provides all of the instructions to the body about how to operate well, and take care of itself…to take care of you. It does this through electro-chemical signals sent through the nervous system, and through chemical messages carried through the bloodstream like little inter-office memos. And it’s a two-way communication, too. The body sends messages to the brain about how it’s doing, and what it needs, through these same mechanisms.

When these channels of communication are open, your body can create and maintain health, flawlessly. When these channels are closed, or the messages are incomplete, that’s when we start seeing the balance of the system break down, and health begin to decline. This is what we refer to as “the Supremacy of the Nervous System”, because without that communication at full tilt, it is impossible for your body to establish and maintain healthful living. Ultimately, everything we do is centered around making sure this communication is wide open; to identify and remove correctable dysfunctions that inhibit your body’s nervous system from supporting you at being your “Vital Health” best.

Upper Cervical Chiropractic.

Chiropractic is based on the idea that free-flowing communication between your bodies systems, through the nervous system, is a fundamental necessity for optimal health and authentic living. The practice of Chiropractic is one of locating and eliminating obstructions to that communication. Chiropractors are the premiere practitioners of manual medicine for the treatment of mechanical pain, and remain the backbone of alternative health care delivery. Chiropractors traditionally believe that misalignments in the spine can irritate nerves or limit the amount of information flow in your nervous system, leading to the gradual breakdown of health and wellness.

In Chiropractic, a subluxation refers to a focal point of tension or stress in the spine that can either cause a fixation – a lack of movement where there ought to be movement – or migration, where the bones have slid a little sideways or turned a bit when compared to their neighbors or an established norm. These misalignments, most importantly, interfere with the transmission of vital information between the brain and body. In Chiropractic thinking, this is a major, subtle, slow creeping cause of imbalance in the body that can lead to illness, or greater susceptibility to illness and disease. Chiropractic care corrects interferences to proper health naturally, and helps your body hold its own health in highest regard.

Your central nervous system – the command and control center for your body – consists mainly of the brain and spinal cord. It goes from being completely protected in a vault of bone…the protective skull…to the rest of your body by passing through a small hole at the underside of your skull, and into the spinal canal. One of the places of first, subtle insult to the nervous system is right at that location; right under the skull. If either or both of the top two bones in your neck have jammed, or migrated slightly out of place, it creates a subtle pressure that interferes with the communication between your body and your brain, and can effect any number of your body’s organs and functions. So, to make sure your nervous system can speak freely from brain to body and body to brain, we determine which bones have gotten jammed which way, and gently unstick them.

“Organic Chiropractic” refers to a treatment approach that targets organ function and overall health by addressing these misalignments right up under your skull. A lot of people find that just poking around at the top of their neck reveals areas that are tender to the touch. This is often a sure sign that they have some alignment issues up there that need to be addressed.

Upper cervical chiropractic has been successful at correcting health dysfunctions in patients who presented complaining of symptoms very far from their necks. People with joint pain in their back, hips, knees; health issues that have failed to respond to traditional healthcare treatments; and some things people just thought they would have to learn to live with.

Displacement of the top two bones in your neck can throw your entire body out of whack, and cause all sorts of health issues. Come in today to see if some of your ongoing concerns can be helped through this method.

Full Spine Chiropractic .

In addition to using Upper Cervical approaches, we also adjust the other joints of the spine and body. Freeing up fixations and restoring natural movement to all of the body is an obligation we feel we have to our patients. In addition to “putting your head on straight” with Upper Cervical adjusting, we manipulate the other joints in your body to ensure maximum pain relief and a faster return to health.

As an affiliate once said, “If my finger is dislocated, I don’t want my neck manipulated…I want you to put the finger back”.

Chiropractic is a funny industry. Even though we are all in the same profession, many Chiropractors are adamant that there is only one correct way to help patients. Often, “Upper Cervical” Chiropractors and “Full Spine” Chiropractors are at philosophical odds, holding that one must do either one or the other. Our clinical experience has demonstrated that these two approaches to Chiropractic Care compliment each other quite nicely, and allow us better long-term results with our clients.
