Come in for a visit – let us make your time with us the best part of your day!

“Why chiropractic?” you may ask.

Because we live our lives through our nervous system.

Right now, your heart is beating. Your lungs, your kidneys, liver, brain – everything in your body – is functioning in a coordinated effort thank to your nervous system. Your nervous system is the master system and controller of your body.

Think of the electrical system in your home. When a power surge stresses the system, a circuit breaker trips to prevent the house from burning down. What if this circuit led to the refrigerator? The food inside would start to spoil unless you could get the power turned on before it was too late. The problem is not the refrigerator but the power to the refrigerator.

The tripped circuit breaker disrupts the refrigerator’s power source preventing the refrigerator from operating efficiently. In regard to your body, when interference is present, your nervous system is underpowered.

An underpowered nervous system limits the body’s ability to operate at peak efficiency – and your health potential begins to “spoil.”

You were born to be healthy. If you are not experiencing robust health, then something is interfering with the program.

What causes interference in your nervous system?

Areas of interference in the nervous system are known as subluxations. There are three types of lifestyle stress that can cause subluxations:

Physical –
what you do to your body.

Biochemical –
what you put inside your body.

Psychological –
what weighs on your mind.

When these stresses combine and overwhelm your body’s ability to process them, you develop subluxations. Your chiropractor has the knowledge, technology, and desire to find that interference and remove it.

The Top Three
Healthcare Misconceptions

1. Drugs make you healthy. You don’t get headaches because there is a lack of Tylenol in your blood!

2. Germs make you sick. Have you ever been in a house with four kids where two got the flu and two didn’t? They were all exposed to the same germs. The difference is their immune system’s ability to fight the germs. Stress reduces immune function. Chiropractic boosts it.

3. My insurance company cares about my health. Do you think it is a good idea to entrust your health and well-being to your insurance company, managed care organization, or the federal government? Of course not. Your health is your responsibility. Your chiropractor will make recommendations based on what you need to achieve the best health possible, not based on what your insurance may cover.

The Top Three
Chiropractic Misconceptions

1. Chiropractic is only for back and neck pain. The first chiropractic patient was deaf and had his hearing restored after a chiropractic adjustment. That was over 100 years ago. Chiropractic doesn’t treat any specific medical condition. The chiropractic adjustment helps improve nervous system function so the body and immune system function better.
You need not suffer from a particular condition to enjoy the benefits of chiropractic – you simply must have the desire to be as healthy as possible.

2. Chiropractic is just for adults. On the contrary, chiropractic is GREAT for kids! Numerous case studies show that chiropractic is very safe and effective for children of all ages. A wellness lifestyle including chiropractic care makes for a happy family!

3. Once you go to the chiropractor, you have to keep going back. Going to the chiropractor on a regular basis is a healthy lifestyle choice. However, the healthier you live outside the chiropractor office, the less time you’ll need inside it. Healthier living means less stress and therefore fewer subluxations. Compare your chiropractic visits to working out at the gym or seeing the dentist. Your fitness is maintained or improved with additional workouts and dental appointments can be less frequent if you take good care of your teeth. Remember, your health is your responsibility!

Dr. David Himmelstein, the Harvard study’s lead author and an associate professor of medicine said, “Unless you’re Bill Gates, you’re just one serious illness away from bankruptcy. Most of the medically bankrupt were average Americans who happened to get sick.”

Sixty-two percent of all personal bankruptcies are filed because of huge medical debt. And surprisingly, the study also showed that 78% of those who had to file bankruptcy because of medical debt had insurance.

Many of the top diseases can actually be prevented with a correct diet and exercise. Take advantage of this before it’s too late!

“Drugs never cure
disease. They merely hush the voice of Nature’s protest and pull down the
danger signals she erects along the pathway of transgression. Any poison taken
into the system has to be reckoned with later on even though it palliates
present symptoms. Pain may disappear but the patient is left in a worse
condition, though unconscious of it at the time.”

-Dr. Daniel Kress M.D.

“We are a chiropractic-based wellness team committed to raising the level of health in our community. Our goal is to educate, inspire, and positively influence the lives of those around us. We encourage our patients to participate in our most noble and important mission.”

This is the mission of everyone who works at Collins Chiropractic. But what exactly does it mean? How to we accomplish this mission?

Let’s break it down.

“We are a chiropractic-based wellness team…”

When people think of health and wellness, most people don’t automatically jump to chiropractic. But you would be amazed at how the spine and nervous system are interrelated and connected to every aspect of our health and wellness! When your spine is out of alignment, it is impossible for your nervous system to be healthy. Your nervous system controls everything in your body and your body can’t work very well with an unhealthy nervous system.

We are a wellness team centered around chiropractic because eating well and exercising isn’t enough to keep your nervous system healthy!

“…committed to raising the level of health in our community.”

We are outward focused. For us, it isn’t just about getting new patients. It’s about creating a community that pursues health whether at home or in the workplace. We want to create a healthy community for the next generation. We desire a safe place to raise our children to have healthy lives!

“Our goal is to educate, inspire, and positively influence the lives of those around us.”

How do we do this? By teaching and educating in every opportunity whether a seminar or a personal conversation inside or outside the office. By walking the walk, not just talking the talk. By showing people they don’t have to settle with mediocre, but they can have a vibrant and healthy life!

“We encourage our patients to participate in our most noble and important mission.”

Once our patients understand why chiropractic and wellness is important, we encourage them to pass on the message! Referring their spouse, getting their kids checked, and telling their loved ones about how to live long and healthy lives are just a few ways this can happen. Whatever the form, we hope that our patients take our mission and turn it into theirs. Together, we can impact the world in a great way!
