Pneuma Chiropractic and Family Wellness Center

PNEUMA represents the great breath of l​ife that enlivens all things, the TAO in action, the current that knows the way, the unseen presence that orchestrates the unfoldment of the form & function of the universe.

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. We deal with the magic power that transforms common food into living, loving, thinking clay; that robes the earth with beauty, and hues and scents the flowers with the glory of the air.

In the dim, dark, distant long ago, when the sun first bowed to the morning star, this power spoke and there was life; it quickened the slime of the sea and the dust of the earth and drove the cell to union with its fellows in countless living forms. Through eons of time it finned the fish and winged the bird and fanged the beast. Endlessly it worked, evolving its form until it produced the crowning glory of them all. With tireless energy it blows the bubble of each individual life and then silently, relentlessly dissolves the form, and absorbs the spirit into itself again.

And yet you ask, can Chiropractic cure appendicitis or the flu?? Have you more faith in a knife or a spoonful of medicine than in the power that animates the living world?

Chiropractic / The Pneuma Approach:  

Chiropractic is a vitalistic Philosophy, Art, & Science of things natural. Chiropractors acknowledge a Universal Intelligence or Life Force as the animating power behind all matter, and see life as an expression of this intelligence or life force. In our bodies this life force operates through or over the central nervous system – the system through which all energy & information is precipitated as feeling and phenomenon. The body has an inherent capacity of self-healing & self-regulation as long as no interference is present in the central nervous system. When the body’s ability to integrate or adapt to life stress is exceeded; the system stores the stress as an adaptive strategy, altering function and structure.  The central nervous system stores the majority of our stress experiences- physical, chemical & emotional, in the form of what chiropractors call,  Subluxation or, Subluxation Patterns.

Subluxation is a neurological imbalance or distortion in the body associated with adverse physiological responses and/or structural changes which may become persistent and progressive. The most frequent site for the chiropractic correction of subluxation is via the vertebral column. When we’re subluxated, Centers in the brain become limited in their ability to accurately assess and integrate incoming (sensory-afferent) information – diminishing nerve propagation as well as the free exchange of energy & information with all systems of the body.     

The PNEUMA Approach is an integration & synthesis of principles which utilizes energetic, tonal, neural, meningeal, osseous & postural models.  This work centers on clearing interference patterns (subluxation patterns) in the central nervous system & associated systems by optimizing the function & integrity of the cerebrospinal axis (brain & spinal cord) by means of a specific chiropractic adjustment. Our role, is to detect short & long-term interference (subluxation) patterns that hold the system in a lower state of order & function and dissipate these patterns of interference through the chiropractic adjustment, advancing towards greater system coherence and harmony. Each adjustment (adjustive force) is tailored to the need and Tone of your system at present, varying from low-force applications, to deep structural applications.
