While most of you are aware of the effects that your chiropractic adjustments have on your aches and pains, did you know research indicates that adjustments may slow down the aging process? Here are some of the markers of aging that are affected by chiropractic adjustments:

1. MUSCULAR CONTROL & BALANCE
Many patients have reported improved muscular control and improved balance after chiropractic adjustments. Thus, gait improves, reducing the risk of falls. Better athletic performance follows, too.

2. INCREASE VITALITY
Using the Global Well-Being Scale (GWBS), most people register an improvement following chiropractic adjustments, indicating a more "youthful" energy level.

3. INCREASED BREATHING CAPACITY
Loss of breathing capacity is an established marker of aging. Researchers have found in two studies that breathing capacity increases with chiropractic adjustments, thus supplying more oxygen to the tissues and by doing so, slowing the aging process.

4. ABILITY TO RESIST DNA DAMAGE
In 2005, an international team of researchers, investigated the ability of a person's DNA to resist damage and to repair itself while that person is under chiropractic care. By measuring blood samples research has indicated that persons under chiropractic care had higher DNA protection and repair efficiency.

To be clear, we do not offer a magical formula for youth. But, the rejuvenating effects of the chiropractic adjustment can be measured. If you are not already doing so, please consider scheduling regular chiropractic check-ups, even if you are pain free.

Philosophy
Chiropractic philosophy differs dramatically from the traditional medical philosophy of health. The medical establishment believes that drugs can bring a body back to a healthy state. Organs are sometimes removed or transplanted to keep the system 'functioning'. This approach to health is termed an OUTSIDE-IN approach, because external factors such as drugs and surgery are used to treat a condition. Chiropractic philosophy, on the other hand, proposes that your body's intelligence system flows via the nervous system to organs, tissue, and every last cell of your body. Since the human body is designed to self-heal and self-regulate, a blockage in the nervous system, in the form of subluxation can impair the "signal flow" along the nerve pathways, thus, causing malfunction in the body, eventually resulting in disease. The chiropractic approach is to stimulate the body – through adjustments – to correct itself naturally. This approach to health is termed an INSIDE-OUT approach.
