Chiropractors share the belief that the spine and health are related in a fundamental way, and that this relationship is mediated through the nervous system. Chiropractic philosophy is about holism. Holism assumes that health is affected by everything in an individual's environment.

The key is the spine. The spine is the primary highway of your nervous system and the healthier the infrastructure that holds your nervous system the healthier you will be holistically.

Historically Chiropractic care can claim roots all the way back to the 16th century with techniques similar to bone-setting. In Japan, bone-setting is known as sekkotsu. In China, it is known as die-da, and is practiced by martial artists.

Today chiropractic care is still focused on the mechanics of joints and the alignment of the spine. When the spine is out of alignment chiropractors use a fancy word called subluxation. Vertebral subluxation can cause pinched nerves which then can cause a whole host of uncomfortable symptoms.
According to the national Board of Chiropractic Examiners, “"The specific focus of chiropractic practice is known as the chiropractic subluxation or joint dysfunction. A subluxation is a health concern that manifests in the skeletal joints, and, through complex anatomical and physiological relationships, affects the nervous system and may lead to reduced function, disability or illness.”

Reiki Near Troutdale
The practice of Reiki is a gentle hands-on technique that promotes healing through deep relaxation, stress reduction, and opening and enriching the flow of energy through the body. Our energy, (Ki in Japanese and Chi in Chinese) can become depleted or blocked from the everyday stresses of life or trauma. When this occurs we typically experience sensations of tightness and discomfort in specific regions of the body.  If this disease or blockage of energy persists, disease may develop. Through the infusion of calming Reiki energy, the client is able to relax and the body's ability to heal is enhanced.

Chiropractic Care Near Troutdale
Chiropractic care has the power to reduce your pain, improve your mood, and provide your body the opportunity it needs to heal itself. Chiropractic care corrects the misalignment of the vertebrae through the practice of specific directional forces to a person’s spine, allowing the body to perform at its optimum potential. It is not meant as a “treatment” for specific illnesses, although through normalized nerve function, a person’s body is better able to cope with stresses and illness, and consequently the body often heals itself better and quicker.  Anyone in Gresham can enjoy better health, higher energy, and enhanced performance through the benefits of spinal adjustments everyday.

There are many definitions of Reiki, but the simplest is spiritually guided life force energy. Here, at Your Sanctuary for Healing, we practice Reiki to improve relief from pain​​, ease stress and anxiety and create a general sense of well-being.

What To Expect During a Reiki Session?
You are fully clothed lying on a massage table. Starting from head-to-toe the practitioner will apply a light, non-invasive touch. The placement of hands is held on a series of locations on the head and front and back of the torso--never intrusive or inappropriate, nor should there be any pressure.

What Does Reiki Feel Like?
The client may feel warmth from the practitioner's hands and will feel a deep sense of relaxation throughout the body.

Reiki energy is soothing, opens the flow of energy in the body and restores balance.  Because of this it has been helpful to clients from all walks of life by providing relief from pain​​, support with stress symptoms, easing anxiety, improving mood & outlook, improving sleep, and an overall sense of well-being.

A car accident can be a terrifying experience. One moment you're in your car singing along with the radio, the next moment your adrenaline is going full speed while your brain attempts to comprehend what just happened. Thankfully not all collisions are life threatening. There are about 10 million accidents of all kinds each year, from parking lot scrapes to multi-car pileups, according to the National Safety Council. More than 2 million people are injured in crashes every year. Resulting injuries can be both physical and emotional. No one is completely prepared for a car accident but when one occurs it's important to know how to proceed. Even if someone claims to feel fine after a car collision, injuries could be hiding behind the shock of the situation. Visiting a chiropractor one of the first things you should do, as these health care professionals specialize in treating many of the most common automobile accident-related injuries there are.  

After a minor accident, it's common for people to experience some neck and back pain. A chiropractor is able to manipulate the spine to help your body release IL-6, a protein produced by the body to reduce acute and chronic inflammation. Chiropractic adjusts can also mobilize the spine, promoting blood flow which allows the body to naturally engage in the healing process. After a car accident the longer someone waits to receive chiropractic care the longer the recovery process will take.
