Dorland’s Medical Dictionary, along with the World Health Organization, define health as “Optimum physical, mental and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmities.”

How does one assure that they have the best chance of enjoying ‘well-being’? It begins by having a body that is working as it was designed to work.

Vomiting, sneezing, coughing and even fevers may actually be signs that your body is working correctly: the definition of true health!

Feeling Great

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

Let’s say you unknowingly eat some spoiled food. Later you get stomach cramps and begin vomiting. You certainly don’t feel well, but thankfully your body is functioning correctly. Imagine the tragic consequences of taking medicine to calm your stomach so as to retain 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 instructions from your nervous system.

Thus, an important aspect of health is how well your nervous system is orchestrating the workings of your body. That’s why we’re interested in your spinal column. Joint restrictions or fixations among the moving bones of the vertebral column protecting the “Information Superhighway” of your spinal cord can affect your well-being.

Are you a good candidate for today’s chiropractic care? Find out!

Chiropractic has been helping people of all ages with a variety of health issues for over a century without the use of drugs or surgery.

Chiropractors use the best available evidence from research, the preferences of the patient and their own expertise and personal experience to help your spine and nervous system function optimally.

The clinic philosophy at ProHealth Chiropractic + Wellness is based on the following simple, common-sense principles. They serve as a guide as we assess your health, explain what we’ve found and make our specific care recommendations: 

-Being healthy is your normal state

-Your nervous system controls everything

-Stress can overload your nervous system

-Spinal joint dysfunction is a coping strategy

-Adjustments help reduce spinal dysfunction

-You’ll likely need more than one adjustment

If this approach makes as much sense to you as it does to us, we’d like an opportunity to meet you and discuss your options in person. Call us today at (281) 991-7676.

Your nervous system controls and regulates every cell of your body. When your nervous system doesn’t work right, you don’t work right. And when you don’t work right, you’re sick! Simple as that.

Nerve compromise can result from postural distortions that are easily revealed with a few simple tests. Consult a professional for evaluation!

Simply study the pictures, follow the directions and conduct the tests. If the results indicate that you or a loved one may be a good candidate for chiropractic care, contacts ProHealth Chiropractic + Wellness to arrange a thorough examination in our practice immediately.

A great place to begin is to notice postural distortions that show up in the head, neck and shoulders:

Unbalanced shoulders

Notice if one shoulder is higher than the other or if the head tilts to one side. Both could be indications of the types of problems that respond nicely to chiropractic care.

Forward leaning head

A common problem is a forward leaning head. Besides a source of fatigue, this is a common sign of neurological compromise in the neck, shoulders and into the arms and wrist.

Both visible light and X-rays consist of photon particles conveyed over electromagnetic energy. When carefully controlled, this energy can be used to reveal the internal structure of the body. We find these pictures quite helpful:

-Provide a structural record of your spine

-Locate fractures or other signs of trauma

-Identify evidence of long term spinal degeneration

-Confirm other examination findings

Interestingly, X-rays were discovered soon after the first chiropractic adjustment in 1895. Wilhelm Roentgen, a German physics professor, was experimenting with cathode ray tubes and discovered that an object across the room began to glow. Much to his surprise, when he placed his hand between the tube and the glowing barium screen, he was able to see the bones of his hand.

From those crude beginnings over a century ago, both chiropractic and X-ray imaging have come a long way. Today, the chiropractic profession is a leader in the reduction of X-ray exposure and patient safety.

-Use the most up to date equipment

-Intensification screens reduce energy used

-Filtration removes unneeded frequencies

-Collimation narrows the energy beam

-Sensitive films shorten exposure time

-Shielding protects sensitive body parts
