HEALTHY BODY
why chiropractic?
Our nervous system is made up of the brain, spinal cord and spinal nerves. The brain tells the body what to do by sending signals through the spinal cord and spinal nerves, so it is imperative to keep the nervous system working at optimal levels to ensure your body is working properly. This is where the spine comes in; the spine is what houses and protects both the spinal cord and spinal nerves. Sometimes the bones in the spine can move out of place and crowd the spinal nerves living between the bones. If there is any pressure on the spinal nerves, this diminishes the ability of the nerve to transmit the brain’s signals to the rest of the body. This is what chiropractors call a subluxation.
Healthy MIND
A 2011 study suggests that Chiropractic may have an even bigger impact on your body than one thought.
Chronic spinal pain can increase the brain activity responsible for stress reactions. The study showed that after receiving a chiropractic neck adjustment, patients had altered brain activity in the area responsible for processing pain and stress reaction. They also had significantly reduced cortisol levels, indicating decreased stress.

HealthY SPIRIT
A healthy spirituality can mean many things to many people but the common thread is a connection to ones inner core. being in tune with oneself can manifest positive health. When the physical body is not in alignment, the core can become misaligned. once your physical body becomes aligned your inner core will follow.

AFTER OTHER METHODS OF TREATMENT FAILED TO RELIEVE A CHRONIC SHOULDER PAIN, I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AS A HOPEFUL SKEPTIC. MY INTIAL ASSESSMENT WAS PERFORMED BY DR. KAUFMAN, WHO BEGAN FORMULATING A TREATMENT PLAN WITH ME THAT SAME DAY. IN LESS THAN TWO MONTHS, DR. KAUFMAN HAD MY PAIN REDUCED TO A MANAGEABLE LEVEL. I APPRECIATE THAT DR. KAUFMAN HAD MY PAIN REDUCED TO A MANAGEABLE LEVEL. I APPRECIATE THAT DR. KAUFMAN QUICKLY TAPERED THE FREQUENCY OF MY VISITS AS MY PAIN RESOLVED. DR. KAUFMAN HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY RESPONSIVE AND CARING, AND HAS BEEN CONSIDERATE OF MY FEEDBACK DURING MY ONGOING TREATMENT PLAN.
