What We Do at ABC Family Chiropractic

ABC Family Chiropractic and Wellness offers Quality Care to Families and Individuals in the Arlington area

Here at ABC Family Chiropractic we have incorporated state of the art technology in our “Insight Subluxation Station” which is a space foundation certified technology for analysis of the nervous system. We also have a far-infrared sauna available to our practice members who want to aid their body’s detoxification system. We have Karen Potter, a Nutrition Educator, on board to help educate the patients and the community about Healthy Eating and Lifestyle choices.

Our practice members also have access to Robin Sessa, an acupuncturist who practices in our clinic space. Acupuncture has been found to complement the chiropractic adjustment and our patients have received great results from adding acupuncture along with their spinal adjustments.

ABC Family Chiropractic and Wellness cares about the people of Arlington and the surrounding communities. Our patients are loving and caring and the reason why I love being a chiropractor. Every fall the practice members donate bags of canned goods to the Arlington Food Pantry and support me in my annual Harvest Walk for HOPE, which helps the poor in New England and worldwide.

WHAT WE DO!

Your health and the way your body works is based on 4 very important principles. Everything we do in our office is based on these 4 principles:

1. Your body is a self healing organism. It was designed and programmed to heal itself. Did you know that you have a brand new liver every 24 days? In that time, every cell in your liver dies and is replaced by brand new cells. Amazing!

    

   * Your blood supply is completely renewed every 4 months!
   * Every 5 days your body rebuilds your stomach lining.
   * Every 11 days you have new taste buds.
   * Every night when you change your clothes to go to bed, you literally brush off thousands of dead skin cells onto the floor, but it’s okay because you are constantly making new skin cells.
   

    

   My point is that your body is always in a state of change and repair. In order to do that, however, it follows a very specific program. When we give someone a spinal check-up, the goal is to make sure the body is following its program. If it isn’t, it’s absolutely not okay, and we attempt to discover why it isn’t doing its job.

    

2. Your nervous system - which is your brain, spinal cord, and all the nerves of your body - runs your program. It is the master control computer that directs and organizes every cell in your body. So, if your nervous system is able to communicate effectively with every organ, tissue, cell, nook, and cranny of you, then you should have the most wonderful, fantastic, amazing health you’ve ever experienced! That is what I consider “normal”.

3. If something interferes with your nervous system, then it can’t run your program. Then the body won’t do what it was designed to do (heal itself and keep you healthy), and it starts doing it’s own thing. Nerve interference can often be the reason for your health problems.

4. My job as a chiropractor is to restore law and order. The goal in adjusting the spine is to restore proper nerve function and let your body work with no interference. It’s as simple as that!
