Couple action shots!

That feeling right after your adjustment…

Best of luck to these two Marji 200 racers! Not to be confused with the Marji 100, this out and back race takes one of the toughest mountain bike races in the country, and doubles it. These guys have been training like animals and are dialed in and ready to go. They start their journey Friday morning.

Have a great Labor Day.

We are closing early today! Come see us before 1pm and get dialed in for the weekend!

Baby G had his first adjustment this morning. He is 6 weeks old and has been dealing with colic/digestive issues.

We adjusted his atlas (C1) and sacrum (tailbone) using a gentle sustained contact technique called BEST.

We also did a gentle torque release on his pyloric sphincter (between the stomach and small intestine) to aid in his digestion and GI motility.

He slept right through it!

It’s a great day for an adjustment. Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to eliminate pain, improve mood, boost immunity, reduce muscle tension, and much more.

According to Grey's Anatomy textbook, "The nervous system controls and coordinates all organs and structures of the human body."

When a spinal vertebra becomes subluxated, it acts similar to a "blown fuse" and interferes with the function of that nerve. If the fuse supplying your air conditioner became overstressed and “blew" how well would that air conditioner work?

The nerves branching from the spine can act in a similar manner, meaning that if the nerve(s) supplying the stomach are overstressed and interfered with, the stomach may not “work" as well as it should.

Symptoms such as upset stomach, indigestion, and reflux may show up over time, but does taking drugs to deal with those symptoms deal with the TRUE CAUSE of the issue ("blown fuse"), or simply attempt to cover them up?

Chiropractic gets to the root CAUSE of the problem by removing interference from the system that "controls and coordinates all organs and structures of the body.

Innate: adjective. Inborn; natural.

The human body heals itself. The human body regulates itself. The human body does not make mistakes, it adapts to its environment.

This is what chiropractors call innate intelligence. Also referred to as homeostasis.

It is the understanding of how the body works, what it needs, and how to support the natural healing process (instead of trying to override it with pills, medications, or surgery)

Dr. Fred Barge is one of the most well known and respected chiropractors in the history of the profession.

Did you know that chiropractic adjustments restore the flow of communication between the brain and the body? This is a critical step for healing.

While chiropractic can help with pain and injury, it can also greatly benefit your body’s ability to function optimally and heal without drugs or surgery.

Not just for back pain!
(Although we’re good at that, too)

A little while back, Blue Cross did a study to see the impact of chiropractic care.

For 7 years, they followed 70,000 patients.

Here’s what they found:

• 60% fewer hospital admissions
• 59% fewer hospital days
• 62% fewer outpatient surgeries and
procedures
• 85% less pharmaceutical medications
compared to those who received conventional medicine.

Chiropractic care keeps your body healthy!
We know that spending time with your family, being able to show up to work, fewer sick days, and less medical bills are important to you.

These things are important to us, too.
We’re here to help you feel and perform your best.

The truth is hidden in plain sight. Your are self-healing. Your body will innately and automatically heal if you treat it right and give it what it needs.

What your body needs to heal itself:
👑Proper nutrition
👑Proper movement and exercise
👑Positive self-talk and mindset

When you neglect your body, it adapts as best it can by compensating. As you neglect yourself more and more, your body compensates more and more.

Some call this disease. Chiropractors call this adaptive physiology.

At IWC, our goal is to bring your body back to balance through chiropractic adjustments and lifestyle advice. Our entire goal is to get you from an adaptive state back to homeostasis.

Homeostasis is where its at. That is where self-healing happens. This is the goal of everything we do. Not to treat your symptoms per se. To help restore your health.

Your nervous system controls everything that happens in your body. Each nerve comes from your brain, through your spine, and out to every organ or body system.

If there’s a misalignment in that area of the spine, it greatly impacts the body and brain’s ability to communicate and work effectively.

What you experience as symptoms could actually be a communication breakdown.

Chiropractic restores function to your nervous system and brings the brain and body’s communication back to its fullest potential.

Give us a call today to see how we can help.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Did you know that Dr. Brandon is the areas only third generation chiropractor?

Grandpa Bob opened his clinic doors in 1953 and the family has been serving the Marquette county ever since.

Chiropractic is founded on the understanding that the nervous system is the master control system of the body and when it is brought into balance, the body naturally and instinctively moves to a place of health.

The privilege of growing up in a family culture rich with this awareness is not taken lightly.

We feel blessed and honored to bring that healing and awareness to your families, as well.

Breastfeeding is such a beautiful thing. We love supporting mothers and babies on this journey.

🤱Poor latch and sucking reflex
🤱Misalignment from birth trauma
🤱Reduces stress and anxiety
🤱Balances the nervous system.
