Because these bones misalign three-dimensionally, it is important to address each to reduce nerve interference at the brain stem level. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5dc1a627fded000108f9aa/1592850567772-2VWHW3H90E382MSW52R6/Steph%252Badjustment.jpg Why Chiropractic? - Webster Technique Utilized to correct the cause of in-utero constraint, which can be a contributing factor that restricts a baby from moving head down while in the womb, resulting in a breech position. Overall the effectiveness of Webster technique has shown to be highly efficacious, which our expecting mamas have experienced. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5dc1a627fded000108f9aa/1592846172257-ZJ49OHX12X5PXRHMRYWT/MSH_DSC_3579.jpg Why Chiropractic? - Thompson The Thompson Technique analysis consists of leg length discrepancy to assess tone within the body. A portion of the adjustment table is set to drop a short distance to allow maximum effectiveness with minimal force. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5dc1a627fded000108f9aa/1592850852483-B45V00MRBRQOHAIHF6AA/MSH_DSC_3485.jpg Why Chiropractic?

Now, I’m kind of feeling the nerves pressing on various spots in my body and it’s showing up in different ways. I have learned here that it’s because of the spine and how the nerves are pressing on it. I just think that sometimes God sends you angels and I think Dr. Natalie is my angel. At this stage in my life, I don’t want to live in pain, so I’m just so grateful that I found her and I believed all the positive things she does without medicine. - Genetrice https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5dc1a627fded000108f9aa/1588787328657-JEDES7ZU0NIIIETBPJ3X/Chloe%2BW.jpg Connect with EFC ASTHMA I started getting chiropractic care due to my asthma and coughing. Since starting, my spiritual emotions have improved; I was mad a lot before, now I'm happy! At EFC, they align my spine and it helps me breathe better. Chiropractic has helped change my life, and it can change yours, too! - Chloe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5dc1a627fded000108f9aa/1588789491985-QUS3SHGSDIQOAHAVX0T0/Kavita%2BPlayle.jpg Connect with EFC TEEN JOINT PAIN Before chiropractic care, I had a lot of hip, knee, and ankle pain. Basically, every joint HURT! I tried 7 different doctors who could never find anything wrong. Everyone told me there was nothing wrong, but I knew deep down there was. I came to EFC and they did the nerve test. They found the problem and started right away on fixing it! I felt so relieved! After 3 months, EFC is the only office that made a difference. - Kavita https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5dc1a627fded000108f9aa/1588787789519-EQ5OMWBQSUVFWHGRB590/Aspen%252BS.jpg Connect with EFC NECK & BACK PAIN I’ve had extreme back and neck pain for years and had tried other Chiropractors before with minimal/short-term relief. I had brain and spinal surgery which put a lot of trauma on my body. Basically, my life became about just functioning with the pain as best as I could. After just 3 months of following doctor’s recommendations consistently, I have noticed a significant decrease in my everyday pain. My favorite thing is when I’m asked, “Tell me something good.” It shifts our mindset to one of gratitude versus dwelling on our pain and problems. - Aspen https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5dc1a627fded000108f9aa/1588800392377-XMKOWQVEBKT6AUIX6UE3/Brandi%2BG.jpg Connect with EFC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5dc1a627fded000108f9aa/1588800610874-YKN6W78M255SSQVIVAK5/Joe%2BJ.jpg Connect with EFC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5dc1a627fded000108f9aa/1588787742172-F3XEZTZ1QUPSSQ3UO0MF/Sloane%252BK.jpg Connect with EFC TORTICOLLIS & FLAT HEAD Before chiropractic care, I had torticollis, flat head, and limited movement of neck at four months old. I started care three months ago, since then I have much better range of motion in my neck. I am no longer favoring my right side and my head seems to be rounding out. Also, my pediatrician does not feel that I need the Doc-Band any longer. I have been a happier, healthier baby since starting care at EFC. - Sloane https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5dc1a627fded000108f9aa/1588789358265-U5M4A7RMX3RHDU63OC8O/Bonnie%2BP.jpg Connect with EFC LOW BACK & SHOULDER PAIN I’d been suffering constant pain in my lower back that traveled down my leg. I also had pain in my neck, left shoulder and arm. I was not sold on chiropractic, but in my desperation, I called EFC. That was one of the best decisions I ever made! About a week and a half in, the pain in my low back had disappeared! ! My husband even said that I was no longer searching for words when we were talking. That is huge! Attending the Principled Doctor's Report was the most profound experience at the office so far. I was completely astonished to hear about the impact subluxations have on the body. - Bonnie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5dc1a627fded000108f9aa/1588787875427-PSEPT6VJRMT5UWV5EVKN/Justin%2BJ%2B1.jpg Connect with EFC PAIN RELIEF I am no longer in constant physical pain. I’m much more relaxed, energized and motivated to do the things I loved before the pain interfered. - Justin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5dc1a627fded000108f9aa/1588799773127-DR7FCQ8TV5W1PMIWT906/IMG_0686.jpg Connect with EFC HEADACHES I've definitely noticed fewer headaches... but most importantly, I've learned that treating the body can prevent conditions later - even if no apparent symptoms are noticeable now. That's why my son and I get chiropractic care. - Kristen https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5dc1a627fded000108f9aa/1588788475390-PRSII4E2YVYOCJ50NPMM/Carlton%2BS.jpg Connect with EFC HERNIATED DISC Prior to chiropractic care I had a herniated disc and a pinched nerve from remodeling a kitchen. I put off having surgery. I have a stress filled life being a minster and therefore have blood pressure issues. I was told there was no cure for the herniated disc and pinched nerve, but that chiropractic care would keep it from getting worse. I have been under care for five years and since then the Lord has healed my back and allowed Dr. Natalie to play a part in the process! - Carlton https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5dc1a627fded000108f9aa/1588790393476-121V64B54VBT73OAW7EF/Ragen%2BC.jpg Connect with EFC IMPROVING LIFE I started chiropractic care 2 years ago due to always feeling depressed, lacking energy, and dealing with illnesses. Since starting care at EFC, my moods have improved, and I am trying new things! I’m praying more, loving others more, and I feel more energetic and social. I love the staff at EFC; they are always professional and helpful. They really go the extra mile! - Ragen https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5dc1a627fded000108f9aa/1588798179096-9W6C0SU70858U7G3YYEQ/Maia%2Band%2BAdrian.jpg Connect with EFC INCREASED ATHLETIC ABILITY Maia and Adrian started at EFC at the beginning of 2019, and they have noticed an increase in their ability to do the things they love - gymnastics and martial arts! - Mom, Bianca https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5dc1a627fded000108f9aa/1588787365545-TM8D76R0XA1QCDS0GMV1/Anna%252Band%252BSarah%252BSisters.jpg Connect with EFC PREGNANCY Anna: Sarah: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5dc1a627fded000108f9aa/1588787841176-YU0B75U12GO3BF44TRS7/Todd%2BW.jpg Connect with EFC BACK & NECK PAIN Before care I was having some occasional head, neck, and back pain. I didn’t think much about it until I looked into chiropractic care. I have been under care for about 8 months, since then I’ve had better posture, my back pain and aches are gone, and my mental well being has improved. I am amazed at how much my total mind and body care has improved since beginning chiropractic care. - Todd https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5dc1a627fded000108f9aa/1588787704869-05MYQEAH76YSWXTLZT22/Daisy%2Band%2BMakaela.jpg Connect with EFC IMMUNITY In our time at Essential Family Chiropractic, we have noticed less colds! When we do happen to get sick, the duration of the colds are a lot shorter and less severe. - Daisy and Makaela https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5dc1a627fded000108f9aa/1588788635245-OTIC6GQQGO9IEGQ56HI0/Dr%2BJim%2BK.jpg Connect with EFC WELLNESS CARE FOR A DOCTOR! I've been under Chiropractic Care since 1971, and my experience as a patient led me to a career in Chiropractic - I even graduated from the same school as Dr. Natalie! My Visits at EFC are always uplifting. I enjoy seeing a team of smiling professionals who are well trained and always on point. - Dr. Jim https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5dc1a627fded000108f9aa/1588792536438-CUQ7Y2FK35QBHZ4A016L/Shawna+R.JPG Connect with EFC ANXIETY & INSOMNIA I came to EFC because a customer at work overheard me talking about back pain. Before chiropractic care, I had anxiety, horrible insomnia, and upper back pain. I’ve been under care for about 6 months and I have more energy, I’m sleeping better, and my anxiety level is going down! From being under care I have learned a misaligned spine can hold a lot of nerve damage and frequent adjustments help nerves flow properly. Just coming to the chiropractor is a great experience; it’s always a happy, peaceful, and comfortable atmosphere. - Shawna https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5dc1a627fded000108f9aa/1588794503667-6TKGZIU5AUB5JGIR8ZSC/Lindsay%2BB.jpg Connect with EFC LOSS OF SMELL About a year ago I lost my sense of smell. I was super stressed about not being able to smell, which resulted in not being able to taste anything. My anxiety went way up at the thought of not being able to catch a gas leak or smell smoke in my house should something happen. I took multiple tests with multiple doctors and was told I was perfectly healthy. After only 3 months of principled chiropractic care, I have been sporadically experiencing random scents again! - Lindsay https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5dc1a627fded000108f9aa/1588797317349-BHQSRQXQFAWGSZ8EYAIJ/Lilah%2BWright.jpg Connect with EFC COLIC AND INFANT WELLNESS I started care because my tummy hurt, I kept spitting up, I couldn't sleep, and I was just plain cranky! After months of sleepless nights, my mommy decided I needed to see Dr. Natalie. Next thing I know, I'm less fussy, not spitting up as much and sleeping a little better! Now, I'm so happy, well rested, and maintaining my weight! Mommy made a great decision to bring me here. Even my grandma saw me recently and was just amazed. She said I'm like a completely different baby! - Lilah https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5dc1a627fded000108f9aa/1588789580994-5143DM41BYK0NNPEBCH2/Miles%2BK.jpg Connect with EFC CHILDHOOD WELLNESS Miles has not had as many sick days this year! Usually, by this time of year, he would have been 3 to 5 times, but he’s only been once! He’s made so much progress under chiropractic care. - Mom, Kristen https://www.efchiropractic.com/blog daily 0.75 2020-05-04
