Chiropractic is the world’s largest drug and surgery free healthcare profession. If you are looking for natural means of getting well and staying healthy, then chiropractic has much to offer you and your family.
Chiropractic is based on simple scientific principles. Your brain runs all of your body parts (see the diagram). It does so by sending electrical messages to them along the pathways of the nervous system. Nerves that carry these messages pass between vertebrae of the spine. If the spine becomes distorted or misaligned, these nerves can become irritated in a way that prevents the brain and body from communicating effectively. In chiropractic, vertebrae that have misaligned causing nerve irritation are called SUBLUXATIONS. Subluxations can produce both silent and symptomatic disturbances in body function. Some of the symptomatic warning signs of subluxations are:
- Loss of spinal mobility
- Spinal pain
- Numbness
- Disc problems
- Radiating pain, numbness and weakness of the arms and legs
- Headache
- Sinus problems
- Dizziness
- Elevated blood pressure
- Stomach upset
- Ear infections (especially in infants and children)
- Asthma
Chiropractic is a philosophy as well as science. It is based on the understanding that the body possesses its own internally guided healing mechanisms, and that these mechanisms, when unobstructed, are nothing short of miraculous. Our philosophy dictates that the job of the doctor is to work with the body’s own healing properties by simply removing obstructions to internally guided healing. The subluxation is an obstruction to the body’s innate healing and health maintenance mechanisms.
Chiropractic is an art. The art of chiropractic is locating and correcting spinal subluxations using CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENTS – gentle forces applied by hand to assist the body in re-aligning itself. Dr. Seiler was trained in this art at Palmer College, the original training ground for chiropractors. He has over 25 years of experience providing traditional hands-on chiropractic care to thousands of individuals in this community.
Chiropractic is a bridge. Most folks first come the chiropractor to get over a crisis. This is really why most folks go to see any sort of doctor. Our profession has a long history of quickly getting people past episodes of severe spinal pain, and other symptom producing emergencies. In so doing, the care we provide is like a “bridge over troubled water” that pulls the sufferer out of the crisis and back into their normal life. However, the bridge we provide can also be one that leads to a better and healthier life than the one experienced before the crisis. It is what chiropractic can do to set people on a new lifestyle path to ongoing higher levels of health and function that really makes this profession shine.
Chiropractic is a lifestyle. Dr. Seiler has raised 3 children, all of whom have never needed prescription drugs, or have suffered any significant health crisis. He and his wife Sherry live a drug-free lifestyle, and the doctor has assisted many other families adopt a lifestyle that makes this possible. With periodic chiropractic check-ups and solid nutritional and exercise habits based on the principles and philosophy of chiropractic, anyone can experience the freedom that a fully functioning body can provide.
