A subluxation occurs when one or more spinal bones move out of its healthy alignment. This places pressure on the nerves, causing interference in the brain-body communication. Unless corrected, the body will not function at its best.

Stressors in life that have accumulated in the body can move your spine out of a healthy alignment. There are 3 types of stressors:

Physical Stress– the birth process, learning to walk, repetitive motions, excessive workout, lifting heavy objects, car accidents, slips, falls, poor posture habits.

Emotional Stress – stress from work, family conflict, and other things that can cause you intense emotions like grief, worry, fear or anxiety.

Chemical Stress– these are the stressors that you can get from alcohol, drugs, medications, food additives, caffeine, dehydration and pollution.

The only way to correct subluxations is a specific chiropractic adjustment. Chiropractors perform adjustments by applying pressure on the affected area, returning the vertebrae to their correct position and reduce pressure on the nerves. Dr. Wendy uses different techniques depending upon the needs and preference of the patient.

Through reducing vertebral subluxations (nerve interference) chiropractic helps the brain to communicate more effectively with the body and vice versa. Better communication gives better function, allowing a better overall state of health for the body.

Of course! Chiropractic is widely recognised as one of the safest drug-free, non-invasive care available, which is perfect for any family member of any age. Dr. Wendy works with children, pregnant women, sports people, and adults of all ages including the elderly. He uses a variety of chiropractic techniques which depends on the age and the needs of each individual.

No. Chiropractors are primary healthcare professionals and therefore DO NOT require a referral from a medical doctor. Following a thorough consultation and examination, the Chiropractor will arrive at a diagnosis under chiropractic care, or refer the patient to the appropriate health care provider. If your current health plan has specific referral requirements, you may want to check your insurance policy or consult your employer’s human resources department to find out if there are any referral requirements.
