The purpose of Chiropractic is to gently assist your body into its proper alignment to allow Vital Energy (Chi, Ki, Prahna) to flow naturally. Chiropractors do this with their highly skilled hands. Chiropractic is unlike massage, Acupuncture, nutrition or any of  the other wonderful natural healing arts. Chiropractic is a philosophy of life. It's not only about pain relief. It's about a permanent and lasting change. A transformation of

your body, mind and spirit. There is nothing  like chiropractic in the
hands of a master Chiropractor.


So, why all the misunderstanding? 

Because the most effective way to free nerve supply to your body is through the spine, which is like the “electrical panel” of your body. That’s where Chiropractors focus their attention.  Chiropractors have always wanted to create the quickest and most dynamic changes in their patient’s health. Chiropractic, with its attention on “energy flow”, had much more in common with Asian methods of healing.  As a consequence, Western (corporate) Medicine didn’t understand it. Chiropractic was characterized as a method of only treating back pain (which it does very well) because chiropractors used the spine as an access to healing.


Okay, how does it work?

Incorporating chiropractic alignment into your life creates a healthier self and freer body. The body is made up of pairs of nerve roots that branch off the spinal cord from between each spinal joint. These nerve roots service every single organ and tissue of your body. Improper motion or position of spinal bones can occur from everyday life—picking up a child, sports, stress, accidents or simply sleeping in a bad position. When this happens, the spinal bones can actually irritate or choke delicate nerves. The nerve, in turn, then cannot function properly in controlling the tissue or organ it corresponds with. Without the normal nerve supply, these organs and tissues then become more susceptible to dis-ease and can produce pain and ill health.

Dr. Gettinger will examine your spine and determine if, and precisely where it is out of alignment. Through his carefully directed and controlled pressure, the malfunctioning spinal bones actually return to their proper motion and position, thus reducing nerve interference.

Every bit as important, Dr. Gettinger will be able to tell where you are carrying the stress in your body.  This is usually the underlying cause of your problem that has never been addressed—the reason it keeps coming back. You will be given simple instructions on how to transform your stress patterns, based on his lifetime of clinical practice and being a teacher of Martial Arts.
