The Science Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that the Nervous System, consisting of your brain and spinal cord, controls the function of every cell, tissue, organ and system within your body. Your body is much like the Internet: your Brain is your main computer; your Spinal cord is the information highway; and your spinal vertebrae, house the nerves and spinal cord. The Nerves are the links from the Spinal cord to all your Organs, such as the heart, lungs, intestines, or reproductive organs, and the Glands, such as the adrenals, pancreas or thyroid. The disruption in nerve communication with the resultant loss of normal function of these tissues or organs is called Vertebral Subluxation Complex or VCS. Chiropractic is the science of finding these areas of spinal malfunction, the art of correcting them and the philosophy of all things natural, as we have been created.
The Art Dr. Huntoon has mastered the "art" of chiropractic which includes a personal health history, a comprehensive physical evaluation, the arrival of a clear understanding of the health concern(s) and a recommended treatment plan specific and customized for each patient. This may include specific spinal adjustments. An "adjustment" describes many ways using specific techniques of directed and controlled pressure to one or more vertebrae. This helps to restore misaligned spinal segments to a more normal position and range of motion. This results in the aiding of increased flexibility, increased immunological function and increased life energy. Chiropracic is truly an art. ALL techniques used in the office to restore normal functioning are completely painless.
The Philosophy Chiropractic philosophy recognizes that the power that created the body can heal the body - as long as there is no interference. The doctor does not heal you, but is a co-facilitator with you for your body to be put in the correct environment to heal itself. The main purpose of the chiropractor is to reduce interference to your inborn, innate healing ability.
