Chiropractic Care
What is chiropractic care?
It is a natural approach to health and wellness that aims to help everyone have an optimal expression of health and well-being, maximizing the human potential.
Chiropractic care focuses on the health and function of your spine and nervous system, the vital communication system (brain, spinal cord, and nerves), which regulates, organizes, and controls everything in your body.
Chiropractic care also supports your natural ability to heal and adapt to life's stressors by adjusting vertebral subluxations, removing interference in your body's vital communication system. (learn more about vertebral subluxations in FAQ below)
NetworkSpinal™ Care, a gentle form of chiropractic care provided at Dixon Chiropractic & Wellness Center, helps your body create unique strategies (3,4) to reorganize excess tension, self-correct, function and thrive at a higher level than before (5).


What can chiropractic care do for me?
Your current state of health and well-being is a result of the way you've lived and how you've adapted to challenges and stress throughout your life. In response to physical, mental, emotional, and chemical stressors, your body and mind adapt enabling you to survive. You adapt by developing patterns of moving, thinking, and holding tension, etc.
When you are unable to adapt to the variety of stressors in a positive way, these patterns can keep you in a state of survival and defensiveness, which decreases your ability to grow, heal, and experience a full expression of life.
When your body is not adapting efficiently, it often produces pain to tell you something needs to change.
We invite you to experience a different paradigm in health and wellness care. Break free from old habits, get to the root causes of the dis-ease in your system, and create a life that is truly extraordinary (1,2)!
