Frequently asked questions.
What does “veritas” mean?
“Veritas” means “truth.” Understanding the truth of the body is vital to achieving health. The human body is expertly designed as a self-regulating and self-healing system that strives for optimal health. Daily stresses (traumas, thoughts, and toxins) can interfere with these activities and cause a state of disease. The purpose of chiropractic is to bring to light and remove these interferences to allow for the full expression of the body’s innate intelligence and the attainment of health.
What does “subluxation” mean?
Let’s start by breaking down the word. Sub = less than. Lux = light. Ation = a state or quality. Subluxation, therefore, is a state of being less than light. In other words, it’s when the body is functioning at a capacity less than it’s optimal potential. When the body is operating in this compromised state, it has a harder time maintaining health.
How can chiropractic care help during my pregnancy?
Gentle chiropractic adjustments such as Activator, QSM3, and Webster Technique help your body adapt to the rapid changes experienced during pregnancy. A special focus on the sacrum and round ligaments helps mom be more comfortable during pregnancy and creates a supportive environment allowing baby to get into proper position for birth.
How can chiropractic care help kids?
As children learn how to sit, stand, crawl, walk, run, and fall, new stresses are constantly introduced to their bodies which can disrupt the proper functioning of their nervous system. Chiropractic care helps ensure the nervous system is functioning optimally so that your child can grow and develop into a healthy, happy adult.
