ILL HEALTH ANYONE?

ILL HEALTH ANYONE?

  Many people think chiropractic is about bones, especially spinal bones.

But the FACT is we’re much more interested in nerves.

In particular, the nerve messages that travel between the brain & the body and from the body back to the brain.

 

Any type of disruption can DISTORT or disturb the integrity of the controlling and regulating messages from the brain.

The result can be ill health.

Because the nervous system controls every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body, chiropractic care can help a wide variety of health problems.

Maybe you know someone who has been told that it’s “all in their head” or that they’ll have to “learn to live with it.”

Worse, someone who thinks they have a MUSCLE RELAXER… shortage!

Send them OUR way. We’ll be more than happy to check out their nervous system and find out if it’s functioning correctly. Call Lisa now!

Chiropractic defined in a short 100 words or less!

Aches and pains are signs your body isn’t working correctly.  Here at Richter Chiropractic, we can help.

Your brain, spinal cord and your nerves control how your body works. Physical, chemical or emotional stresses produce a defensive environment. When this happens muscles contract, locking spinal joints that pinch and irritate your nerves. This spinal stress sets the stage for disease and ill health.

A thorough consultation and examination in our office in El Cajon, helps us find your problems. We then apply a precise force to your tight spinal joints so your body can correct itself.  We can do these adjustments here in our office El Cajon.

Health can then return with repeated visits. This is why chiropractic care has helped you and millions get well.

So call today for your free consultation!  619-670-7500
