Stress Test

Many of our patients ask why? Why did my health problem begin in the first place? Chiropractic has found that these problems begin as your body responds to stress. The adaptation process causes the spine to shift to reduce the present stress. As it shifts it produces spinal misalignment that creates other stress in your body. These stresses that cause the spinal misalignment come in 3 forms; physical stress, chemical stress and emotional stress.

Which category do you feel is your primary stress?

After taking this test, do you now realize that there has been more stress throughout your life than you thought?

Do you recognize that the effects of stress started accumulating during childhood?

Did you understand that stress will be present in certain areas of your life for years to come?

Since the three major causes of stress (physical, chemical, emotional) exist in your life, do you feel that it is important to have your central nervous system checked periodically throughout your life?

Do you think that early detection will give you a better chance of preventing future health problems?

Since some of these stresses started early in childhood, should parents have their children checked for subluxation?
