The Practice

Everyone deserves the opportunity to pursue life to the fullest extent possible. That’s the philosophy behind “healing for living” and the best reason for Waterfront Chiropractic to exist.

As one of the most successful single-doctor practices in the country, we offer a broad range of knowledge gained from being in practice since 1989 and having experience with many illnesses and conditions combined with the compassion and intimacy of a small town doctor. In fact, our founder, Dr. Stacy Aslan, sees each patient personally.

With patients that range from infants to expectant mothers to seniors, we take pride in offering the most advanced chiropractic care and comprehensive guidance on healthy living in a warm, supportive family setting. We’re sure you’ll notice.

So what is health?

Is it just feeling good or even feeling great? Is it a negative blood test or even good cholesterol level? That is not necessarily being healthy. In fact how many people have heard of someone who had perfect blood work and a great physical and then had a heart attack one week later. How could that be? It is simple; being healthy is not just the absence of disease or infirmities but 100% function. You see you are either living or your dying, either regenerating or degenerating. Basically health and healing for that matter has to do with life and regeneration. Every year just about every single cell in the body has been replaced with a new one, every 4 minutes there are new stomach cells, every 120 days new red blood cells, and so on. At the end of 1 year you are a new person at least one time over. Think of it this way. If you were building a house and you took out a brick and put in a brick and took out a brick and put in a brick by the end of the year you would have a new house. What if you took out a brick and put in a brick and took out a brick and put in some mud and took out a brick and put in some paper etc.? At the end of the year you would have a new house, but at the first storm (stress) the house would fall down. That’s what is going on with so many of us. We look the same but we really are weak and with the slightest stress we get sick. Taking drugs doesn’t heal us because it doesn’t make us regenerate healthy tissue. In fact, most drugs cause us to continue with the degenerative process that got us sick in the first place.

To be healthy we need to regenerate healthy cells. First we need the fuel, which are hormones, insulin, and essential fatty acids and second we need a nervous system to control and coordinate the rebuilding of the cells. The fuel is basically the energy and the nerves and brain are the directors. The brain sends messages to every cell tissue and organ in the body down the spinal cord out nerves in between the bones of the spine and directly or indirectly guides cellular function and regeneration. If the fuel is there and the nerve message from the brain is there, we regenerate healthy tissue. If there is poor fuel or the message did not go through, you get unhealthy or weak cells, which is basically disease. How that occurs is pretty obvious. How did you eat today? What fuel are you getting? Essential vitamins and minerals? How about your spine, could you have a misalignment of a spinal bone causing interference with the nerve? That is where chiropractic specific spinal analysis comes in. Chiropractors are the only profession that is trained in analyzing the spine for spinal misalignments called subluxations (even your medical doctor is not trained in this). And we are trained to correct them. A spine with a subluxation cannot communicate at 100% with the body and the cell and therefore that person cannot be 100% healthy. So if you truly want to be healthy you need to get your spine checked for subluxations and put the right fuel into the body. You will be amazed at the healing that will occur.
