The major premise of Chiropractic states “Universal Intelligence exists in all matter, continuously giving to it, all its properties and actions, thus, maintaining it in existence”. The intricate functionality of your body is a great example. This inborn intelligence governs your body, constantly seeking balance, in order for your body to work properly. Simply stated, "The power that made the body, heals the body."

If an “interference” is present within your body, blocking the expression of this intelligence, your cells, tissues or organs will not receive the proper messages or instruction resulting in your body functioning at a limited physical and emotional level. Interferences can range from physical and psychological to emotional and spiritual.

As Chiropractors we are experts in the physical interference. The spine is the tool which we use to release blockages of the body's natural intelligent flow. Your body, no matter what health level you are experiencing presently, has a greater opportunity to perform up to it’s true potential. You're ability to regain 5%, 10%, 20% or more functionality may exist.

Perhaps better sleep, less pain, and less fatigue will grant you more energy, patience, understanding…What could this mean for your spouse, your children, your friends and neighbors? Quite simply, a better quality of life. This is how WE will change the world. One spine at a time. Driven by inspiration and purpose. Merrimon Family Chiropractic will share the gift of health and lead our community towards living life to its fullest potential!

Adjustments, or manipulation as they're sometimes referred to, are the minor movement of vertebrae in the spine. The objective of this movement is to realign vertebrae that have moved out of place for a number of reasons ranging from normal daily activity to trauma such as a car accident.

When these vertebrae are out of place, it has an overall systemic effect from muscular to the central nervous system. Without proper alignment and flow of all nerves and systems in the body from the brain, we can't function at our peak.

An adjustment is often a pressure from the chiropractor utilizing the hands or an instrument to move a vertebrae back into place. This happens with a quick movement and is often without discomfort. You may hear a noise that sounds like you're cracking your knuckles referred to as joint cavitation. It is the release of gases such as oxygen and nitrogen from the joint.
