Chiropractic is a natural drug-free way to gain and maintain a healthy life.
A chiropractor works on the basic principle that the nervous system controls all functions of the body. The brain is the command center of the body and communicates through nerve roots within the spinal column. When a spinal vertebra is out of place, it causes an interruption in communication, and as a result your body does not function at its optimum level.
Chiropractic care is for ear infections, digestive issues, asthma, back and neck pain, colds, headaches, neurological problems, and many more conditions you and your family may face. Chiropractic is also for more energy, a strong immune system, a better sports performance, feeling more alive, and a better resistance to disease to help ensure a drug-free life.
HISTORY
While working in a stopped position, Harvey Lillard felt something “pop” in his neck. A few days later his hearing was gone.
Seventeen years passed in silence. Then, on September 18, 1895, Harvey Lillard related his story to Daniel David Palmer, a magnetic healer who practiced in Davenport, Iowa, where Lillard was a janitor.
Palmer examined the janitor’s spine and discovered a bump in the area where Lillard said he had felt the pop. Reasoning that this bump was the result of one of the spinal column’s 26 vertebrae being out of line, Palmer persuaded Lillard to let him try to restore it to its correct position.
He applied a force to the bump. There was another pop, and the bump was gone. In a few days, after seventeen years of silence, Harvey Lillard’s hearing was restored. In the process, chiropractic was born.
Today, chiropractic has evolved into a highly developed science and art which deals with vertebral subluxation and its effect on the body’s natural striving toward health. Chiropractic, as a primary health care profession, recognizes and respects the body’s innate motivation to maintain its own health and has developed more than 300 sophisticated techniques for correcting vertebral misalignments.
Your body has an amazing power to self-heal. It is our job at Bay Wellness Family Chiropractic to reconnect you with that power.
