Health care, not sick care

[Stephie Rae aka Dr Steph Grenier]

In addition to being a singer/songwriter, I am an holistic Chiropractor who specializes in caring for artists, crews and families. I am also certified in Pediatrics and pregnancy care.

The 5 Principles of Chiropractic are simply this:

1) The body is a self-healing and self-regulating organism.
2) The Central Nervous System, made up of the brain and spinal cord, is the master control center for the body.
3) Electro-chemical messages, called Innate Intelligence, flow over the Nervous System maintaining 2-way communication along the spinal cord between the brain and every cell, tissue, organ and system of the body, controlling and coordinating every function and giving us life and health.
4) Interferences to our Nervous System are called SUBLUXATIONS, which are misalignments of our spine and joints and a complex of surrounding tissues, blocking or irritating the communication between our brain and body, causing malfunction, dis-ease, symptoms and even premature death, if left uncorrected.
5) Only Chiropractors detect and correct subluxations. Through the healing process from a series of Chiropractic adjustments, Chiropractors clear interference to the flow of Innate Intelligence in the spine and extremities, reconnecting the spirit, mind and body, so we can function at 100% and raise Peak Performance levels.

Subluxations are caused by physical, chemical and/or mental/emotional stress. Musicians, depending on their instruments of choice, tend to have certain over-use injuries or syndromes that Chiropractic has helped tremendously with. For instance, tension and burning in shoulders and neck, numbness and tingling in hands, carpal tunnel, headaches, back pain, sciatica, TMJ, and so on. Not to mention, our hectic lifestyle can lead to a weakened immune system which will allow us ill-health showing up in any number of problems, like sinuses, allergies, infections, chronic illnesses, auto-immune diseases, degenerative diseases, and the list goes on. Fact is, getting adjusted simply helps us function better, which means we'll feel better.

Studies show getting Chiropractic adjustments boosts the immune system about 50% to help keep us healthy and reduce down time. My personal and professional experiences are phenomenal regarding improvements in staying healthy, range of motion, movement, flexibility, energy, focus, memory, creativity, breathing, sleep, and moods (yes, I do attitude adjustments for you, your friends, family, co-workers, colleagues, and enemies that you may wish to convert to friends). In addition, internal workings of all our systems (like digestive, lymph, reproductive, cardio, respiratory, elimination, endocrine), are far more efficient and effective when the nervous system is free to control and coordinate their every function as God intended. It's a fascinating network.

If you or those you care about are interested in improving their health and function, reach and surpass peak performance levels, I am honored to help and appreciate your trust.
