Subluxation: A misaligned spinal bone (vertebrae) which causes compression, tension, irritation and damage to the central nervous system.
The central nervous system is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and spinal nerves. The central nervous system controls all function and healing in the body.
Subluxation causes interference of the central nervous system. it also causes the organs and muscles of the body to malfunction and heal poorly, due to the interference that they create in the central nervous system.
Subluxation are caused by a lifetime of stress and trauma. Slips, falls, auto accidents, sports injuries, poor posture, bad sleeping habits, stress at work or home, or even childhood mishaps and the birth process itself, can cause the spinal cord to move out of iits normal position.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some frequently asked questions related to bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).
Q: What are some of the benefits of using BHRT?
A: Some the benefits of using BHRT are: reduced osteoporosis and restoration of bone strength, reduced hot flashes and vaginal dryness; better maintenance of muscle mass and strength; improved cholesterol levels; reduced risk of endometrial and breast cancer; reduced risk of depression; improved sleep; better mood, concentration and memory; and Improved libido.
Q: Are any tests required for me to take before I begin BHRT?
A: It is always recommended before engaging in any treatment program that you get a general medical checkup to help determine if a woman there are any risk factors that may interfere with the BHRT. In our hormone evaluation we will ask you to complete a thorough questionnaire indicating your medical history, family history, health habits and any symptoms you currently experiencing.
Q: Will bioidentical hormone replacement therapy make me gain weight?
A: According to various long-term studies and one specially reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association, hormone replacement therapy did not result in weight gain. However, regardless of whether they are taking BHRT, women as they age tend to gain some weight. This is why a good nutrition plan and regular exercise can help.
Q: Some people consider menopause considered an illness or disease. Is it??
A: No it is not an illness or disease but rather a naturally occurring event in women. Rest assured that there is nothing abnormal about menopause.
Q: What are some of the side effects of using BHRT?
A: Some the side effects linked to of using BRHT have been blood clots, high pressure, cardiovascular diseases and cancer.
Q: Do men suffer from menopause just like women?
A: Men do suffer from menopause just like women. It is called andropause. They experience similar symptoms such as fatigue, hot flashes, irritability, hair loss, erectile dysfunction, urinary problems, memory loss, lower sex drive, muscle loss, night sweats, sleep problems and depression.
Q: What is estrogen?
A: Estrogen is part of a chemically similar group called estrogenic hormones. This hormone group consists of estradiol, estrone and estriol. For the most part, it is largely considered a female hormone but it is also produced in males. The primary purpose of estrogenic hormones in female stimulates the growth and development of sexual characteristics and reproduction functions.
Q: What is progesterone?
A: Progesterone is what our body uses to make many of our other hormones vital for good health. Our body constantly manufactures progesterone. It serves as a precursor to estrogen, DHEA, testosterone and cortisol. Progesterone is in both males and females and is responsible for regulating blood sugar, developing intelligence, building bones, brain activity and much more. It helps convert fat into energy, regulates thyroid hormone production, helps reboot libido, and serves as a natural antidepressant. Progesterone also serves to boost our immune system. Our bodies make it all the time.
Q: What is testosterone?
A: Testosterone is the principle hormone in the androgen group of hormones. Testosterone helps build muscle mass, bone density and has a significant sexual function. It is often call the "male hormone" yet it does serve a vital role in women.
Q: What is cortisol?
A: Cortisol is commonly referred to as the "stress hormone." The cortisol hormone is secreted by the adrenal glands releasing into your bloodstream as a "fight or flight response" to stress. It helps the body deal with stress. The highest quantities of cortisol are produced in the early morning hours and then production slowly tapers off throughout the day. In addition to stress, other factors can also trigger an increased production of cortisol, such as exercise, excitement and low blood sugar.
Q: What is dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)?
A: Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is the “kingpin” of all our hormones" because we need it to help us reach maturity and to keep our body systems functioning correctly and on track. It is the most abundant steroid in our bodies serving as the foundation for male and female sex hormones (androgens and estrogens). DHEA levels start to lower at the age of 30 which aides in our aging process. By the age of 65 we only produce about 10% of what we did in our twenties.
What are Bio-Identical Hormones?
Bio-identical hormones are derived from naturally occurring plant proteins that are chemically altered to become identical in structure to naturally occurring human hormones. They are identical to the ones in our bodies.
Bio-identical hormones are safe and very effective when used in a customized and supervised hormone therapy program. Periodical checking of your hormone levels should be part of your annual physical checkup just like cholesterol. Diseases may manifest from high-low hormones levels that may appear until the disease becomes clinically apparent.
By keeping your bio-identical hormone levels optimum, you will gain better health and youthfulness.
Are Bio-identical Hormones Right for You?
We recommend having a complete hormone evaluation where you may discuss any symptoms and concerns with Dr. Martino directly. Your medical and family history and current symptoms will also be evaluated along with the results of our hormone diagnostic testing. Bio-identical hormone therapy options will be customized to fit your body’s needs.

The facts remain that if you spine is not in proper alignment your nerves and muscles can get damaged resulting in you feeling pain. Patients who receive chiropractic care experience reduced rates of pain related episodes after proper care.
The best part about corrective chiropractic treatment is that it is natural. It is a method to get the body to become self-reliant and heal itself without the use of chemicals, drugs, or surgeries.
TYPICAL BACK PAIN
Most people experience lower back pain. Typically back pain is a pinched nerve. When a vertebrae becomes misaligned, pinches a nerve, it is called subluxation. This means most likely that the vertebra pinches the nerve and gets stuck resulting in inflammation or swelling. It may event cause sciatica, numbness in feet or toes, and even leg pain.
As a new patient to Corrective Chiropractic, you will receive a health sreening and x-rays. The x-rays will show the exact angle of misalignment of your spine and help us customize a treatment plan.
NORMAL POSITION AND ALIGNMENT OF THE SPINE
The spine and central nerve system must be ib its normal position and alignment in order for normal amounts of mental "LIFE" impulses to flow throughout the body. You and your family must receive enough adjustments over the proper period of time to completely correct your spinal x-ray and to remove all central nerve system interference. You should retain your spinal health for the rest of your life.
Nerve Conduction Velocity Test
Nerve conduction velocity tests are typically conducted to evaluate the integrity of and diagnose diseases of the peripheral nervous sytem. The test measures the conduction velocity of response following an electrical stimulation of the peripheral nerve.
Trigger Point Injections for Pain Management
Trigger point injections may be used to treat alleviate painful muscle areas, tension headaches, and other areas with chronic pain.
Vascular Ultrasound
This is a noninvasive ultrasound method used to examine the blood circulation in the arms and legs. During a vascular ultrasound, sound waves are transmitted through the tissues being examined. The sound waves then reflect off the blood cells moving within the blood vessels.
Vascular Ultrasound can be used to:

Myths vs. Facts
Corrective Chiropractic Care
HOW DO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY TYPICALLY GET WELL?
MYTH: We use drugs, vitamins, surgery, herbs, or some kind of doctor.
FACT: Try to work to eliminate interference to normal body function and healing. Chiropractors do not heal you, they remove interference to the flow of mental "LIFE" impulses by correcting your spine.
Drugs and surgery do not remove interference, they create it. They may remove symptoms but they may actually make you feel worse.
HOW DO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY TYPICALLY GET SICK WITH INFECTINS, PAIN, CANCER, HEART DISEASE, OR POOR ENERGY?
MYTH: Someone around you is infected with a bug, virus, or bacteria and we catch them like a baseball.
FACT: The major cause of sickness is interference. The most common and likely way to intefere with the brain and spinal cord is abnormal position of the spine and subluxation (misalignments). This interference to the flow of "LIFE" impulses will cause the organs of the body to function and heal poorly.
Corrective Chiropractic believes in helping the community not only with reaching optimum health but also in supporting local and national causes, and nonprofit organziations.
Each month Corrective Chiropractic participates in local events promoting health screenings and health consultations, and donates services and resrouces to groups such as:
