Frequently Asked Questions
What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a modality that was created to help you express greater health and life potential. To understand how this works we have to understand the basics of how our body works. The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves that run through your body. The nervous system is so important that nature created the bony structure we know as the spine to protect it. The reason it is so important is because it is considered the Master System of the body. The nervous system connects to, controls, and regulates all functions of your body, so therefore it controls the expression of your health.
It is constantly adapting to your internal and external environment to help maintain homeostasis within your body, a state of balance where your health flourishes. You can think of it as the goldilocks zone, but for your body. When we have too much stress in the form of thoughts, traumas, and toxins our body may have trouble adapting and creates a condition called subluxation. A subluxation is when the posture and bony alignment of the spine misaligns from its optimal and natural position causing inflammation, pain, and degeneration of the joints. Although a subluxation affects our health negatively, it is ultimately a coping mechanism created by the body to disperse all the extra stress that our body cannot adapt to. Think of it as the body's way of short fusing itself in order to not overwhelm the system from all the extra stress and energy. It will grab all of that extra energy that it cannot process and store it in different areas as tension patterns.
These tension patterns often carry the mental and emotional energy associated to the stresses that we could not fully process. A combination of all of these stresses ultimately show up in our posture and how we carry ourselves in this world. A chiropractors main job is to help align your body over time by releasing the layers of all of these tension patterns appearing in the forms of subluxations so that you can become a more whole, healthy, and integrated individual.
What is Energetic Healing?
Energetic healing is a very simple and natural form of healing. At our core we are all energetic beings. A little dive into the world of quantum physics will confirm this for you. As energetic beings we also have an energetic body which has been mapped out by ancient civilizations who studied this topic at length. The main energetic system that we have is that of the seven major chakras or energetic centers that stem out from the spine. These energetic centers are whirlpools of energy that carry different frequencies of mental, emotional, and vital energies. As with the physical body, the energetic body needs to maintain a state of balance in order for the person to express a healthy energetic vibration. An energetic healing is simply the transfer of a natural energy that helps to balance, energize, and purify the 7 energy centers so that internal transformation can begin to take place. When we change the state of our energy, we begin to change the state of our life. Some things that a person may begin to experience after receiving energy healing is reduced stress, improved mental clarity, increased energy, increased positive outlook, better sleep, and a sense of inner peace.
Do we take insurance?
We are a cash-based practice and do not take insurance. Insurance companies highly limit the care we can give to patients according to what they need to improve their condition. So for that reason we have a direct relationship with the people we take care of without having the interference of a third party. In order to help people pay for their care, we create different payment plans so that individuals can choose the one that works best for them.
What is the cost of care?
At our office we create personalized care recommendations that are unique to your needs. We do not have a one-size fits all cost for our care. Our care recommendations are 90 days to 6 months long depending on the severity of the complaint and everything included in this plan (adjustments, energy healings, custom tractions devices, and neuromuscular retraining program) typically ranges from $1,974 - $2,886.

We do not work with medicare or take personal injury cases.
What are the 7 Major Chakras and the Aura?
The seven major chakras major energetic centers that stem off from the spinal column. They make up part of our energetic body and are responsible for the transmission and reception of energies on different energetic levels. These centers are constantly interchanging energies with our environment but for the most part their job is to take in the prana or chi necessary to feed your subtle nervous system and keep your state of consciousness alive and vibrant. Each of these 7 chakras have different functions that are necessary for our expression and survival within this physical world.
​
The 1st chakra located at the base of our spine is responsible for our ability to feel grounded, safe, and secure in our physical environment. The 2nd chakra located below the navel and is associated with our ability to regulate our emotions and is the seat of our creativity. The 3d chakra sits at the solar plexus and is considered the battery of the body because this is where you store your vital energy and is where the ego, willpower, and relationship to your self lies. The 4th chakra is located in front of your chest and is where you express issues pertaining to love and where we realize our interrelationship with all things. The 5th chakra is located at the throat and is responsible for our self expression, communication, and ability to speak our truth. The 6th chakra is where we have our ability to perceive reality as it is and where we have our inner vision to see circumstances clearly. The 7th chakra is where we have our relationship with our Creator and where we find our higher purpose and are able to see things from an all inclusive detached manner. All of these energetic centers need to work in harmony with one another in order for us to live a fulfilling life.
To add on, the aura is an amalgamation of your entire energy field. It is made up of your chakras, your thoughts, emotions, and psychic/vital energies. It is your unique energetic signature and it is created by you. It can be very open making you exposed to all energies, good or bad. It can also be very closed keeping you shut our from the people around you and the environment. Every day we are creating the contents of our energetic field based on the thoughts, emotions, and energies that we decide to carry within us. It is the filter in which our minds perceive and experience this world. If we carry years of sadness built up in our aura, then we see this world as a sad place. If we carry years of positive thoughts and affirmations in our aura, then we see this world as a bright place. It all depends on how we decide to respond to life, the people we surround ourselves with (because energy is contagious) and the help that we seek to improve our situation. The state of your energy will decide the state of your life.
