"The Doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease."
Thomas Edison

At Gerckens Chiropractic, we view a person’s health as having three components: structural health, chemical health, and mental health. If any one side of that triad is weak, it can lead to illness or injury – and only by considering all three sides of the triad can we restore health.
Structural health involves the structure of the body: in what way the spine is aligned or misaligned and what muscles are strong or weak. Massage and chiropractic adjustments directly address this element.

In the 1960's, a chiropractor developed a system of evaluation of normal and/or abnormal body function using muscle testing known as Applied Kinesiology ("A.K."). Since the original discovery of Applied Kinesiology, the principle has broadened to include evaluation of the nervous, vascular, and lymphatic systems, nutrition, acupuncture and cerebrospinal fluid function. Muscle tests are applied to different areas of the body in a manner that evaluates a specific muscle. A "weakness" indicates not only poor muscle function, but also possible trouble with the organ and/or other tissue on the same nerve, vascular and nutritional grouping.
Chiropractic is a science, a philosophy and an art. The science of chiropractic deals with the vital relationship of the spinal column to the nervous system and the dynamic role of this relationship in acquiring and maintaining "health." Although chiropractic only celebrated its 100th birthday in 1995, the philosophy on which it is based can be traced back to the ancient Greeks and to the teachings of Hippocrates. The art of chiropractic is the specific spinal manipulation that allows the flow of nerve impulses from the brain and spinal cord (via the spinal column/vertebrae) to every cell in the body, thereby achieving and maintaining proper function of these cells and ultimately resulting in muscle balance, physiologic harmony, and improved vitality.
