Chiropractic Care
Our bodies are absolutely brilliant! Without any effort on our part, our nervous system adapts to the stresses life throws our way. Our body is designed to respond to these stresses and return to a baseline of ease. When this doesn't happen and stress becomes chronic, we start to lose our health.
Chiropractic care influences the nervous system in a way that enhances the tone of the vagus nerve and helps the nervous system become more resilient to life's stresses.
There are many different approaches to chiropractic care. Often, people think of chiropractic as involving the "twisting, cracking, and popping" of the spine and neck. However, there are several techniques beyond the traditional methods of adjusting.
At Vitality Chiropractic, Dr. Niccie uses a tonal technique where all adjustments are made with an instrument.
What is a Tonal Technique?
Great question! The spinal cord resides within the vertebrae of the spine, stabilized by ligaments called dentate ligaments at various levels.
When a vertebra with these dentate ligaments shifts out of its proper position, moves improperly, or stops moving, it alters the tone of the spinal cord. This change in tone can cause other bones to subluxate (move out of their proper position) or move improperly as well.
Our chiropractic approach focuses on adjusting these primary subluxations to bring ease to your entire spine. All adjustments are performed with an instrument and are safe and gentle for everyone!
By restoring proper movement to your spine, your nervous system can function at its highest potential. This not only enhances the tone of the vagus nerve but also places your nervous system in a state of ease, allowing healing to occur.
