Dr. Dexter  Asks some important questions of interest to Indianapolis residents - Chiropractor Indianapolis Dr. Dexter Asks...

What are the two things drugs do?
Drugs can either speed up (laxatives, amphetamines, caffeine) a bodily process, or slow down (stomach antacids, sleep aids, antihistamines, muscle relaxers) a bodily process. Chiropractic care can produce the same results, but relies on the intelligence of the body. Chiropractors trust your body. Do you?
What causes subluxations?
Chiropractors acknowledge three types of stress: physical, chemical and emotional. When the adaptive capacity of your body is compromised, weakened areas along the spine can become involved. Muscles tighten, spinal joints lock up and nearby nerves are affected. The purpose of chiropractic care is to find these areas and restore balance, alignment and motion.

How we are Different!

Normal Structure is NOT an OptionFirst it is important to understand that traditional chiropractic care has the goal of reducing pain, muscle spasms and increasing range of motion. My goal is different! My intension is to correct structure.

You see, even though our body is mostly self healing, for a variety of reasons bones can go out of place in a direction the body cannot self correct. If the body was totally self correcting, "self-healing", there would be no need for doctors of any kind, including chiropractors.

Since the body cannot fix all misalignments it compensates for what it cannot fix. To compensate for a misalignment muscles move structures to approximate "normal". Over time these compensations, compound and create muscle spasms, pain and loss of range of motion . . . the secondary conditions others are trying to eliminate. The problem is no matter what is done, exercise, massage, stretching, etc. secondary conditions will continue UNTIL the structure is corrected! Correcting structure is what I do.
