A Holistic Approach

Chiropractic is based on a simple but powerful foundation: a healthy spine and nervous system enables the body to respond to its environment appropriately and stay in BALANCE.  This driving philosophy stresses the idea that many disease processes begin with the body's inability to adapt to its environment.  A chiropractor looks to address these imbalances by locating and adjusting a musculoskeletal area of the body that is functioning improperly, without the use of drugs and chemicals.

What conditions benefit from chiropractic care?

The following conditions are the most common signs of a pinched nerve and studies have found that Chiropractic may be beneficial:

Back Pain Neck and Shoulder Pain Headaches Whiplash Postural Imbalances Hip Pain Sports Injuries Shoulder Pain Bursitis Fibromyalgia

Injuries Related to Auto Accidents Tennis Elbow Painful Joints Arm/Leg Pain Numbness Stiffness Arthritis Cold Hands/Feet Work Related Injuries Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Correcting Subluxation:  The Core of Chiropractic Care

Spinal misalignments called subluxations interfere with your body's ability to maintain balance (homeostasis), which can lead to illness.  Subluxation occurs when one or more of the bones in your spine (vertebrae) move out of position and create pressure on spinal nerves.  This interferes with your nervous system, which controls and coordinates all the functions of your body function optimally beyond areas of pain.  With a compromised nervous system, the body quickly begins to deteriorate, becoming UNBALANCED.

Dr. Maxwell is trained to locate and correct subluxations by performing a series of adjustments specifically designed to address these imbalances in the spinal cord and nervous system.  A healthy nervous system lets your entire body function optimally beyond areas of pain. 

Health problems are caused by anything from poor posture to serious auto injuries.  Except for traumatic events, the problem is usually present well before you FEEL the pain.  Pain is the last to appear and the first to go, so it is important to realize that being pain free does not equal HEALTH.

At The Maxwell Clinic, your HEALTH is our number one concern.
