The Nature of True Health

The natural state of your mind and body is health. True health is when your body works as it was designed.

Feeling Great

Most people think that how they feel is an indicator of how healthy they are. It’s not true.

Let’s say you unknowingly eat some spoiled food. Later you get stomach cramps and vomit. You certainly don’t feel well, but thankfully your body is functioning correctly. Imagine the tragic consequences of taking a drug to calm your stomach, retaining the toxic food!

Functioning Great

Your brain, spinal cord and all of your nerves control and regulate your body. Every cell, tissue, organ and system (even your immune system!) take orders from your nervous system.

Thus, true health is how well your nervous system is orchestrating the workings of your body. That’s why vertebral subluxations are so serious! Compromised brain-to-body or body-to-brain communications is the underlying cause of a variety of health problems.

Many people with a spinal problem discover other health problems resolve with chiropractic care. Reducing nervous system disturbances along the spine have been known to produce positive changes throughout the body.

Dr. David Asks some important questions of interest to Clifton residents - Chiropractor Clifton Dr. David Asks...

How long does it take to form a bone spur?
Many who begin chiropractic care think their problem happened "last week when you bent over funny." But pictures of the spine tell a different story. Chiropractors know it can take your body years to deposit the calcium necessary to form a bone spur. It's your body's response to stress due to gravity or joint malfunction. And chiropractic care can help.
Are aches and pains good or bad?
While aches or pains may be unpleasant, they're merely warning signs. As a Clifton chiropractor, I see this all the time. The pain is not the problem! It just means a limitation has been reached and something needs to change. That's when we get to work correcting the underlying cause.
