Achieving Balance Chiropractic is here to truly help you with your Health Care. Your health is multi-faceted – there isn’t “one thing” that determines whether you’re healthy or not; not your genes, your diet, your activity level, your stress level, where you live, what vitamins you take- it is all these things and most importantly how your nervous system is regulating it all.
Our goal in welcoming someone new into our ABC family is to take a step back and really look at the whole picture. Where in your life is there STRESS, that simple little word that causes so much problem in our lives and robs you of your health. So often around here we hear “it’s probably just stress…”. It’s crucial to know that stress literally kills. Stress isn’t just the daily emotional stuff that pops up to spoil your day; stress can be broken down into 3 categories: physical (overdoing or not doing what you’re supposed to), chemical (what you put in or on your body) and your emotional stress (usually a combination of all three).
The real problem with stress is the cumulative effect on your nervous system and your bodies ability to adapt to those stresses. When the nervous system becomes overloaded it can no longer effectively adapt to your environment and the communication between your brain and your body begin to break down- and as a result your body starts doing things it’s not designed to do. Pain, numbness, tingling, headache, dizziness, arthritis and disease are all the result of that breakdown of your brain and body communication. The symptoms you experience are not the problem, they are your body screaming out to get your attention, letting you know that you’re not functioning in the way you’re supposed to.
