Many people think that the chiropractor forces a vertebra back into its proper place, but only the individual’s own “innate” intelligence knows for sure what the proper place for each bone is. The role of the chiropractor is to mobilize the vertebrae, allowing the body to do its job by moving the vertebrae back into the correct position. Unfortunately, the muscles connected to subluxated vertebrae get used to their abnormal positions and have a tendency to pull the bone back out of place. It may take several adjustments before the adjustment holds, and the bone settles into its proper alignment.

Children are an important part of our practice here at our office. Dr. Gifford specializes in proper care and alignment of children’s spines. While it is common for children to have certain conditions such as colic, ear infections, immune system issues, headaches, asthma, and many others, these are NOT normal.

If you have never had your loved ones checked for spinal subluxations/misalignments then please contact our office today to schedule a checkup. We offer half off our normal adjustment prices for children as an additional incentive so please take the time to have your child receive their first Chiropractic checkup.
