Chiropractic is not just an investment for your back;

it is an investment for your health.

Without even knowing it, many Americans suffer from misaligned vertebrae, known as subluxations. Subluxations are usually painless because only a small percentage of the nerves that make up the nervous system are responsible for pain and pleasure. The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, and spinal nerves connecting throughout the body and tissues. Thus, this system controls and coordinates every cell in the body. The human body cannot express optimal health with subluxations, which hinder clear, healthy pathways for the nervous system.

What Causes Subluxations?

Stresses in the body cause subluxations. These stresses can be emotional, chemical, or physical. Most of the nerve system has nothing to do with pain or pleasure. Therefore, subluxations can be present for years and sometimes decades before symptoms occur.

Drug-Free Solution for Pain

Chiropractic is a drug-less profession. The role of the chiropractor is to detect spinal misalignments, called subluxations. These subluxations cause interference in the nervous system. When Dr. Hess analyzes the spine and detects that a spinal subluxation is present, she will perform an adjustment. The adjustment is designed to correct the spine's alignment and remove the interference of the brain-to-body connection. Restoring the brain-to-body connection enhances the function of the body's ability to function at its maximum potential.

Chiropractic Care

Removing the interference so that the body can heal itself. Chiropractic care is an art. It optimizes your health on many levels. Subluxations (misalignments) can be silent or they can cause an array of health issues at any age, such as back/neck pain, stomach motility, balance, energy, immune deficiency and so much more.

Chiropractic Care for Children

Pediatric chiropractic care is more gentle, safe, and effective compared to adult chiropractic care – the Doctors need to use different adjustments, and each adjustment is tailored specifically for the child’s size, comfort level, and stage of development. There are no sudden or jerky movements involved and chiropractors will make sure that your child is never in any pain or discomfort.

"So Glad"

"So glad to have Dr. Hess right here in our community on Clements Ferry. Highly recommended and close to all the Philip Simmons Schools.

"Very Pleased With My Care"

"Dr. Hess is very passionate about helping people. I have had an issue with neck and back discomfort and came to her to see what she can do. She carefully assessed me using x-rays, a thermal scanner, etc. and then compiled a comprehensive plan with 3 treatment options, including the interventions, time-frame and cost. I love that she took time to explain the treatment modalities and answered my questions. I did not realize how much discomforts I was living with. I am very pleased with my care and recommend her practice highly. She is also so very caring and a great woman of faith.

"Above and Beyond"

"I took my mother in to see Dr. Hess and I can't recommend her highly enough. She is an incredible Dr. She helped my mother significantly with the issue she was suffering from in her neck. She was patient, empathetic, and took her time to explain everything she was doing. She really has gone above and beyond for my family. I would recommend her to anyone who is suffering and needs help from a chiropractor.
