The Principles of Treatment
Home · Treatment
Chiropractic has deep roots in holistic, spiritually oriented health care. These four principles guide every visit at the Centre.
Nature acts powerfully through the healing mechanisms of body and mind to maintain and restore health. Doctors of Chiropractic help restore and support those inherent systems by correcting nerve-root impingement. Developed by D.D. Palmer in 1895, chiropractic has always relied on the inherent wisdom of the body.
We prefer gentle, corrective spinal manipulation to assist the body's own healing. When self-repair is disrupted by subluxations — misalignment of the vertebrae or meninges — a state of dis-ease occurs. We are trained to identify which patients we can treat safely and which need referral, and we have a very good referral network when a condition warrants it.
Every illness has an underlying cause, usually with many effects. Alongside subluxations, emotional, dietary, environmental, genetic and lifestyle factors all contribute. Because the spinal cord is the body's central communication system, subluxations impede energy flow — leaving the body less flexible and less able to adapt.
Aligning yourself with a system whose aim is to prevent minor imbalances from becoming serious conditions simply makes good sense. With extensive training in nutrition, Dr. Betty shares the principles of living a healthy life — helping you avoid the health risks that are so common today.
