Why am I sick?
Why am I hurting?

In 1895, Dr. Daniel David Palmer, the founder of chiropractic, made a startling discovery: the vertebrae (spinal bones) can misalign and pinch the spinal nerves that carry messages between the brain and the cells of the body.  This nerve interference tends to lower the body's natural resistance to stress and disease and can produce a variety of symptoms, including pain, numbness, tingling, and abnormal functions in the body.

Can chiropractic help me?

Chiropractic can usually help any condition or symptom produced by spinal subluxations and pinched nerves.  Naturally, duration and severity are important factors.  By adjusting the vertebrae back in proper alignment, chiropractic relieves nerve pressure so that the living body is free to heal itself.

How does chiropractic work?

Dr. Lewis works to restore your Health Zones to normal by locating and adjusting your spinal misalignments, thus reducing nerve pressure, restoring nerve flow, and reestablishing normal function and natural resistance to disease.  As the cause of your condition is corrected, this allows the living body to heal itself naturally - without drugs or surgery.

How long will it take?

Each visit, Dr. Lewis will check your Zone Points to determine your progress.  It takes time to realign your spine and to reduce your nerve pressure, time to gently stretch the muscles, tendons and ligaments back into position.  As the Zone Points become less tender, you will usually notice that your Health Zones are beginning to heal.

Can chiropractic improve my health?

By eliminating spinal subluxations, chiropractic improves the health of your spine and nervous system.  This restores your body's natural resistance to stress and disease.  Many patients claim that they have more energy and less illness as a result of regular chiropractic care.

 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.
