The Nature of True Health

The natural state of your mind and body is health. True health is when your body works as it was designed.

Feeling Great

Most people think that how they feel is an indicator of how healthy they are. It’s not true.

Let’s say you unknowingly eat some spoiled food. Later you get stomach cramps and vomit. You certainly don’t feel well, but thankfully your body is functioning correctly. Imagine the tragic consequences of taking a drug to calm your stomach, retaining the toxic food!

Functioning Great

Your brain, spinal cord and all of your nerves control and regulate your body. Every cell, tissue, organ and system (even your immune system!) take orders from your nervous system.

Thus, true health is how well your nervous system is orchestrating the workings of your body. That’s why vertebral subluxations are so serious! Compromised brain-to-body or body-to-brain communications is the underlying cause of a variety of health problems.

Many people with a spinal problem discover other health problems resolve with chiropractic care. Reducing nervous system disturbances along the spine have been known to produce positive changes throughout the body.

Dr. Payne  Asks some important questions of interest to Destin residents - Chiropractor Destin Dr. Payne Asks...

What causes vertebral subluxations?
Chiropractors acknowledge three types of stress: physical, chemical and emotional. When the adaptive capacity of your body is compromised, weakened areas along the spine can become involved. Muscles tighten, spinal joints lock up and nearby nerves are affected. The purpose of chiropractic care is to find these areas and restore balance, alignment and motion.
Why are frequent visits advised when starting chiropractic care?
Consistent visits at the beginning of your chiropractic care help create the momentum necessary to correct and retrain unhealthy spinal patterns. Later, Destin patients find that continued care on a less frequent visit schedule can help preserve their progress and avoid a relapse.
