At Kirkland Chiropractic & Massage, our mission is to empower all people to lead a happier and healthier lifestyle. That's why we offer a full-service family practice that focuses on hands-on treatments without the side effects of drugs or surgery. We firmly believe in a non-invasive approach to chiropractic, massage, and physical therapy that encourages the natural recuperative power of the body to heal itself. With over 45 years of combined professional experience, our team of doctors and therapists have created a holistic approach to healthcare services in a friendly, relaxed environment.
Our Philosophy
Our chiropractic methodology is grounded in the reality that all bodies have self-healing systems built into them. Unfortunately, life's circumstances can at times disrupt these natural functions. This happens when the body's structure does not hold up, causing severe health problems that affect how your body performs and feels. In other words, when the spine is not doing its job at holding everything in place and protecting our nervous system, we are no longer able to recuperate in the way we normally would, which leads to poor health and sensations of pain.
Imagine a complex system of roads that runs the length of our spinal cord and connects to various parts of our body. Our brain encodes a message and our nerves act like the postal service, traveling up and down the spinal cord and delivering important letters to the rest of the body. These letters determine everything we do-all movement, sensation, and healing. We call this correspondence our central nervous system and it is important because it can control the integrity of our organs and our overall health.
Consequently, it is vital to make sure that the system of roads is well maintained and there is no blockage or debris inhibiting the natural flow of traffic. At Kirkland Chiropractic, we understand that life, with all its physical and emotional demands, can cause interference or stress on our nerves. A slight physical trauma or muscle tension caused by emotional distress can result in a misalignment of the spine. This can have a negative impact on our nerves and, by extension, jeopardize our overall health.
