The nervous system controls every function of our health, bodies and lives yet it is the most neglected and overlooked system in healthcare. We all understand the ingredients for health. Good nutrition. Clean water. Air. Sunlight. Sleep. Positive social relationships. But we can have all of these things in the right amounts and still be sick. That’s because our nervous system uses all those ingredients and and orchestrates the processes of life to produce health and normal function. In this office we utilized advanced nervous system testing to assess the health of your nerve system and utilize gentle and very specific spinal adjustments to release tension from that system that develops in the spine. That tension, known as a neuro-structural shift or vertebral subluxation, builds up in the spine due to various physical, chemical and mental/emotional stressors over time and then begins to cause more nervous system stress and interference and ultimately negatively affects our health, function and quality of life. 

This is why chiropractic has worked for countless people and continues to produce such great results for the individuals and families we care for in our office. Your body was designed to be well. Your nervous system helps orchestrate all the function of your body and helps keep you well. Interference in that system will necessarily begin to negatively affect your health, growth and development. We specifically locate and correct that interference, allowing the body to resume normal, natural functions and produce health. You see, we believe you were designed to be healthy and not sick. To be happy and not sad. We know you believe this to be true as well. So if we find ourselves or our loved ones in a state of sickness or despair, in a state of less than optimal health and function, then there must have been some cause. Some form of interference. That’s what we look for and correct, and in doing so help allow your body to return to its optimum state of health and quality of life.

The Atlas, or the first cervical vertebra is formed like a ring and connects the skull to the cervical spine. The Atlas sits upon the second cervical vertebra, better known as the Axis. These are the only two vertebrae between which there is NO DISC. The absence of the intervertebral disc allows for a greater range of motion. Because of this increased range of motion, these segments are much more likely to misalign, causing nervous system interference at the level of the brain stem.

At Balanced Spine Center, we believe the focus should be on living a life free of nerve interference and not about getting adjustments. In fact, our goal is to deliver as few adjustments as possible.

Dr. Marilyn Peterson is one of less than 2,000 practitioners worldwide that uses a specialized technique called Upper Cervical Specific Chiropractic care, which focuses on removing nerve irritation to restore communication between the brain and the body. Restoring function at the level of the brainstem and upper cervical spine (the control center of the body) is essential so that the body may heal itself and have optimal vitality. With the nervous system functioning at 100%, the body has the potential to heal itself from even the most complex dis-ease.
