About

The Mission

of Lawson Family Chiropractic Center (LFCC) is to provide the members of our community with affordable, high quality, and specific chiropractic care. Our goal is not only to recapture the optimal function of the nervous system, but more importantly, inspire and educate our patients to become active participants in their own well being.

Our approach to health is through a vitalistic mentality, whereby the human body has an inborn ability to heal itself. We concentrate on the body in its entirety, not just by its symptoms. Removing the nervous system’s interference by adjusting the spine, we are better able to help our patients achieve optimal levels of health and wellness.

Chiropractic 101

Chiropractic works with the nervous system to recapture the body's optimal function by restoring body communication!

HOW?

Health= Excellent body function and communication

Nervous System= powerhouse of the body / the body's communicator between organs and cells

Spinal Column= protection for the nervous system

Subluxation=

* interferences with body communication

* Dysfunction of the spinal column or any joint

* moved spinal bone becomes stuck (dysfunction), choking the nerve, decreasing the communication

of the body ex: Cell Phone Dead Zone

* CAUSES: (3 T's)

1- Trauma: physical slips/falls, gradual wear and tear

2- Thoughts: emotional stress

3- Toxins: pollutants, change body chemistry (dysfunction)

Chiropractic:

Corrects Subluxations --> Restores Spinal Function --> Restores Body Communication --> Restores Health

Expanded Version:

Chiropractic works with the nervous system to recapture the body's optimal function. It is about function, not just about pain relief. The nervous system is the body's powerhouse and communicator; its job is to control every function of every cell in the body at any given time.
Chiropractors address the cause of a condition, and not merely its symptoms, by locating and correcting a serious condition called subluxation.

A subluxation is a moved spinal bone causing dangerous stress to the nervous system, which minimizes the body's function and communication. It can be compared to cell phone service. When the service has complete optimal signal, communication between the two phones are perfectly clear. However, approach an area that has decreased signal or a "dead-zone" what happens? The communication becomes jumbled if not lost. To restore the clear communication you must move out of the "dead-Zone" or to a place that has better signal. Same concept with the body and nervous system, to restore the body's communication, the moved spinal bone must be adjusted back into its proper place removing the stress from the nervous system and restoring the "signal. "

The Gonstead Chiropractic Adjusting Method is designed to maximize results in any stage of life, from infancy to elderly, due to its gentle, safe, and specific hands-on adjustment technique. Gonstead is a very specific chiropractic technique which is always utilized at LFCC. A Gonstead doctor is a rare opportunity, even rarer for a female Gonstead doctor, for any community, due to the limited amount of the trained professional. The Gonstead system is one of the most difficult techniques and analytical procedures known. Dr. Lawson has dedicated over 500 hours of advanced Gonstead training outside of her schooling to perfect her skills. Since the difficulty is high, most chiropractic students and doctors shy away from learning the system. The reward to learning this system is priceless, for it produces the fastest and best results for patients from infancy to elderly.

The results are maximized due to analyzing the entire spine as a whole to find the single bone/vertebrae needed to be adjusted and to adjust that bone and that bone only through a specific line of drive. The Gonstead System produces rapid results due to its' specificity and art form of a hand adjustment. The adjustments are of low amplitude and high velocity with no rotational forces driven into the body, which allows for a safe, gentle, and effective adjustment.

It is important to have you and your family’s spines checked regularly to make sure there is no interference in the nervous system so your body function and wellness are not being compromised. Your health has a direct correlation with your spinal joint function, not just your pain level.

Lawson Family Chiropractic Center invites you to come in and experience the Gonstead difference.
