Align Your
Body
Isn't your body incredible!? Our body’s are constantly adapting to every change we encounter daily. All of the physical and mental stressors as well as the chemical /electrical exposures we are in contact with can wreak havok on our health. Despite all of this, our body’s continue to function, to heal and to adapt so that you can thrive and live an amazing life.
How is this all coordinated by the body? How does it know how to heal? Your body has an innate ability to heal and the communication system that allows that to happen is your nerve system. Without proper communication between your brain and your body you will have dysfunction and disease. Quite simply you will not be the best version of yourself and may struggle with a variety of conditions.
Chiropractic care restores the communication between the brain and the body so that your innate ability to heal is free to adapt to your life. People often report improvement in pain patterns but they also report better moods, digestion and overall health and well-being. I often am asked to provide an “attitude adjustment” to a child and often to adults!
Chiropractic aligns your body, mind and spirit.
Align Your Nutrition
Did you know that your nutrition can affect not only the way you look but the way you feel? The Standard American Diet leaves much to be desired. It is full of processed foods, sugars and GMO foods which are slowly poisoning our families and contributing to massive trends in chronic diseases - even in our children. Offering guidance in nutrition is an important part of supporting people in their healing journey and we are developing a number of different programs to identity areas where improving or changing your nutrition can help you heal and thrive.
One area of support we offer are nutrigenomics products that activate your body’s own genetic pathways for healing. Being able to take a natural product that can help reduce your oxidative stress and reduce inflammation, which is the cornerstone to most disease processes, is very empowering indeed.
Align Your Health
Just as you would want to have a strong foundation in your home, you want to have a strong foundation for your health. The story of the three little pigs can be applied to your body; the materials you build it with will not only affect your structure and appearance but also how strong it is when attacked by outside threats. Developing solid foundational health at the cellular level is key to ensuring your body can heal and adapt as well as assist you in overcoming health challenges.
At Empower Chiropractic we offer several systematic programs that
​
Your body has the power and knowledge within it to heal, the key is to provide the proper support. By optimizing your nerve system function with chiropractic care, supporting your nutrition and genetic expression with nutrigenomics and strengthening your bodys foundational health you will be empowering yourself to take the steps to heal and live a happier, healthier life.
