Our Philosophy

Are We the Right Chiropractor for You?

“The body has an innate ability to heal itself.Western doctors are frozen in a disease-oriented mode, curing disease with drugs, surgery (or adjustments) rather than on prevention and stimulation of the body’s natural healing power.Most treatments just prevent disease from expressing itself symptomatically.Symptoms disappear, but the disease actually gets progressively worse.” –Dr. Andrew Weil, M.D. Harvard University

While some chiropractors choose to limit their scope of care to short term pain relief only, today’s wellness chiropractor focuses on overall health and maximized living.We believe that God created the human body last because it was to be the most special.Our passion is teaching people about the amazing healing power God has programmed into the brain, the spine, and the beautifully intricate design of the nervous system.Dr. Zack, a wellness chiropractor, does not work just to relieve symptoms but to remove interference from normal nerve transmission, allowing for the full realization of God-given healing potential in your body.

Chiropractors do not prescribe drugs and do not tell people to stop taking drugs.That is the practice of medicine.The wellness chiropractor’s role is to alert people to the dangers of poor lifestyle decisions, the use of prescription drugs, and to help them optimize their health naturally.We do not use medical, fear-based scare tactics.We simply believe in (and have dedicated our lives to) being a wake-up call for those who are unknowingly or unconsciously causing pain to themselves and to helping them before it is too late.

Many chiropractors choose to limit their practice to pain relief only.This is okay, but at The Life House we choose to open up our scope of practice to wellness.While choosing to treat pain only has the pleasing benefit of pain relief, in this office, however, we feel an obligation to improve overall wellness in addition to alleviating pain.Symptoms are the body’s warning signals that something has been malfunctioning for some time and has needed attention.In most cases, subluxation, or the misalignment of the spine that interferes with normal nerve transmission, is present without symptom or warning.Usually, subluxation has existed for many years by the time a symptom arises.

Subluxations are caused by a lifetime of stress and trauma.Slips, falls, auto accidents, sports injuries, poor posture, bad sleeping habits, stress at work, lack of exercise, poor nutrition, toxins, even childhood mishaps and the birth process itself can cause the spinal cord to move out of its normal position. Subluxation leads to disk degeneration and spinal decay, which creates a “dis-ease” in the body—a lack of normal “ease or function.In a state of dis-ease, the opportunity for disease is enhanced.Research shows that if your spine and Central Nervous System are left in their improper position, they will continue to degenerate silently and allow organs to malfunction and become diseased…even leading to early death.But if you are using chiropractic merely for relief care, you will not even know this is occurring because the signs and symptoms are gone!

While all doctors want their patients to be out of pain, the focus of Corrective Care Chiropractic is to remove all interference to the Central Nervous System caused by abnormal position of the spine and subluxation.This is done through a very specific rehabilitative program of spinal adjustments, stretches, and exercises that are unique for each individual.
