What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a healthcare discipline that is centered on the role of the spine and central nervous system in maintaining good health, and leveraging the recuperative power of the body to heal itself naturally and efficiently. The practice of chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (of the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health.
Chiropractors identify and correct the cause of health challenges which arise when misalignments of the vertebrae (the small bones that make up the spine) disrupt neurological communications between your brain and the cells, tissues, and organs of the body.
Chiropractors correct these misalignments by gently adjusting the position of the vertebrae of the spine, reducing or eliminating neuropathy (changes in the pathology of the nerves) thus allowing your body to properly self-regulate, adapt and heal.
What Chiropractic Methods does Dr. Lex use?
Dr. Lex specializes in the Activator Method, a low-force chiropractic adjustment technique that restores spinal balance and joint alignment with safety and comfort to the patient. The Activator Method is a system of body mechanics and a technique emphasizing methodology which teaches where, when, and when not to adjust in re-establishing and maintaining the normal dynamic, anatomical and physiological relationships of the human body.
