In 1910, D.D. Palmer, the founder of chiropractic, stated that there were three underlying causes of subluxation, or nerve interference. He identified them as the 3 T's: Thoughts, Trauma, and Toxins.
They continue to wreak havoc today:
Trauma: Trauma can be a major trauma, such as a car accident or slip and fall, or a repetitive microtrauma, such as sitting at a desk for 8 hours. Trauma can have a huge impact on both how we feel and function.
Thoughts: Our highly stressful lifestyle gets us stuck in a sympathetic state. If you remember back to science class, this is the fight-or-flight stress response. When we are constantly in this state, it can alter our hormones and trigger a negative cascade in the body. The stress response can be at times beneficial in the short term, but chronically being in this state can cause our health to break down and deteriorate.
Toxins: Toxins refer to what we put into or onto our bodies. Diets high in sugar, white flour, and genetically modified organisms. Many things we eat are highly inflammatory to our bodies. Other forms of toxins are environmental toxins, such as water pollution and mold, and personal care products, such deodarant that contains aluminum, parabens, and more.
Our goal is to help transform the health of our community without the use of drugs or surgery. If you want to see how your body is functioning or need help achieving your health goals, give us a call to schedule 207-897-2332.

Text neck syndrome (or tech neck) is a neck condition that causes damage from prolonged downward head posture while using smartphones.
It often causes soreness, stiffness, headaches, shoulder pain, and potential nerve issues like numbness in arms, leading to chronic problems like early arthritis if uncorrected.
Prevention involves holding devices at eye level, taking frequent breaks, strengthening neck/back muscles, and chiropractic care to support proper function.

"We chiropractors work with the subtle substance of the soul. We release the imprisoned impulse, the tiny rivulet of force that emanates from the mind and flows over the nerves to the cells and stirs them into life." ~ BJ Palmer

Balance isn’t just about staying steady on your feet.
It’s also about your overall health—your mind, your emotions, and how your body systems work together to keep you feeling good.
