What to Expect

Using the principle of leverage, I unleash the specific lock-in potential in the body. You can push a huge boulder from a cliff without having to ram it with huge force if you use a tree limb as a lever. This is the fundamental idea. Putting that lever in the exact right place, at the right time with the right amount of force, you can easily move the boulder.

You and I work as a team to release this potential energy or life force. As I bring the awareness of information to your system, your body and nerve system discharges old, no longer appropriate tension patterns. This ultimately increases your body's healing potential and comfort.

We understand that change and healing can be uncomfortable as well as pleasant. Your body's inner wisdom will change only what you are able and ready to release. This method of healing naturally respects each person's boundaries and limitations as it allows for personal healing and growth.

The awareness that the nerve system needs time to process new information just like it took time for the body to create the tension patterns, it also takes time for the body to release them.

Your body is dynamic and it guides me in determining the precise sequence and timing of your needs. For this reason, I may allow your body time to process as I step back and work with other members.

By stepping back and giving your body time to work with the adjustment, we are not overpowering your nerve system. Instead, we allow the body to do most of the work itself. This encourages and actually teaches the body to become more self-corrective and more self-reliant in the future. It is like a parent showing a child how to tie his or her shoes, but then stepping back and letting the child practice and work with tying the laces.

If the parent steps in all the time and does the shoe tying for the child, he or she never becomes empowered and self-sufficient. Healing is about empowering and freeing the awesome power you have inside of you to heal. By stepping back to let your body work, it is letting the greatest, wisest Doctor, the Doctor within you to do the corrective healing process.

1. You can help the process by keeping your eyes closed relax and breathe easily during the adjustment in order to avoid distractions, and allow yourself to express whatever movements or sounds that may come up.
2. You can also just lie there and fall asleep which is the most popular choice since how can the body heal when it is under so much tension.
3. You can take deep breaths, and stretch your body and try to feel where your tension is, or you can just stay there without doing anything perhaps thinking about your day.

There is no right or wrong way to receive an adjustment. However, it is your time and you can create more MOTION by stretching or breathing.

You can help me adjust you by releasing your tension in any way (cry, laugh, stretch, breath, scream, sigh, or whatever). This takes you further along in your care and evolution. It allows me to work on your next layer of tension and then the next. If we are peeling an onion then you can be peeling the next layer with me. Here, at our office, you can do it all. This is your place to heal and to grow. It is a place of safety and non-judgment. It is a place of love. Feel free during your next adjustment to consciously breathe a little more. Maybe stretch your arms and shoulders. Come and feel your body and explore your MOTION and your LIFE.

Each person's responses to chiropractic adjustments will be slightly different. Many times Chiropractic care can begin to shift geometrical distortions in your body. However, it is not uncommon for you to also experience:

• Notice deeper breathing and feeling ease within your being.
• Become aware of an urge to change the position of your head, neck, spine or pelvis, and we encourage you to move your body accordingly.
• Experience emotional releases such as laughing, crying, or coughing.
• Sense tingling, warmth, coldness, or itchiness in different parts of your body.
• Release chemical such as nasal discharge, sweating, yawning, sneezing, or nausea.
• Re-experience past events or old injuries, symptoms, or ailments for a short time as your body discharges them.
• Experience vivid dream that has profound messages.
• Feel a change in the nature and location of symptoms.
• Experience improvements not only in physical health but also in personal issues as well.
• Know that something exciting and powerful is happening from within.

The results may vary subject to individual's body condition.

Sometimes when we have large shifting in our body, new muscles can build and that may cause us to feel sore or uncomfortable similar to a workout. This is perfectly NORMAL. It means that there are great changes happening and that is a positive indication of healing. Most people's body changes slowly to shift distortions. However, sometimes it can happen faster and it may feel uncomfortable in the process. This uncomfortable feeling may also happen after any adjustment because every adjustment is like one layer taken off of an onion. If you have concern and experience this type of core healing please let us know.
