What are "subluxations"?

Subluxation (sub-lucks-a-shuns) are spinal misalignments that produce pain and "dis-ease" by impinging the spinal nerves and interfering with the nerve impulses that travel between the Brain Centers and the tissues of the six major Health Zones or Systems.  This nerve interference also produces tight and tender ligaments at the Zone Points along the base of the head.

What causes spinal subluxations?

According to Dr. D.D. Palmer, there are three general causes: POISONS (including unhealthy food and drink), TRAUMA (including accidents, falls, sprains, and strains), and AUTOSUGGESTION (meaning "negative thinking" or "emotional stress").  These things may cause spinal subluxations and a wide variety of symptoms.

 Dr. Lewis Asks some important questions of interest to La Porte residents - Chiropractor La Porte Dr. Lewis Asks...

How do you know when you're healthy?
Ask most La Porte residents this simple question and you're likely to hear, "When you feel good" or "When you're at your proper weight for your height" or "When you have lots of energy and vitality." Great answers. But our chiropractic patients know that true health is when your body is working as it was designed. True health is how you function, not how you feel.
What's your plan to deal with drug-resistant 'super germs'?
Chiropractors have always been concerned with the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, accelerating the mutation of microbes that make "wonder" drugs increasingly ineffective. My strategy? Do everything possible to bolster my immune system through proper diet, rest, exercise, clean air, pure water and an optimally functioning nervous system with regular chiropractic care.
