Chiropractic Defined

Dr. Anacker adjusts patients that range in age from one-day-old babies to the elderly.  She uses a variety of techniques and styles of adjusting while the primary technique she uses is the Gonstead Technique.  She analyzes the spine with her hands and with instruments called the nervoscope and subluxation station, all of which detect heat changes muscle spasms, swelling (edema), & joint fixation.  She also uses spinal x-rays if needed.  These findings indicate nerve interference called “the subluxation.”

Subluxation is the definition of what the chiropractor addresses while analyzing the spinal structure, looking for areas of decreased function in the nervous system.

Subluxation is a sign that an individual is stressed beyond their limits, not to the point of death, but enough that they cannot fully function.  This results in compromised nervous system function that causes spinal misalignment.

The stresses that affect your physical body include:

1. Physical Stress: birth trauma, childhood falls, sports injuries, work injuries, motor vehicle accidents, and other physical falls.
2. Chemical Stress: drugs (prescription or street drugs), cigarettes, caffeine, alcohol, air pollution, and poor water and food sources.
3. Emotional Stress: family relationships, divorce, death, work relationships, finances, a new baby being born, travel, anxiety, and depression.

Health

The World Health Organization defines health as: “Optimum physical, mental, and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
