The Power of Chiropractic Care
At Equilibrium Chiropractic, Dr. Lee Stafford and his team believe chiropractic care is about much more than just relieving pain — it’s about restoring health, balance, and long-term wellness. Through precise spinal evaluations and gentle adjustments, chiropractic care provides vital, preventive, and non-invasive healthcare designed to keep your body functioning at its best.
At the foundation of this care is a deep understanding of the science of vertebral subluxation — the misalignment of one or more spinal vertebrae that can interfere with the communication between your brain and body.
Understanding Vertebral Subluxation
A vertebral subluxation occurs when a spinal bone shifts out of its proper position, placing pressure on nearby nerves and disrupting the normal flow of nerve signals. This interference can impact every system in the body, from muscle function to organ performance.
Dr. Stafford’s focus is on locating, analyzing, and correcting these misalignments through specific chiropractic adjustments. By restoring spinal alignment and optimal nerve communication, your body can heal naturally and function at its highest potential.

A Foundational Principle in Chiropractic History
The concept of vertebral subluxation has deep roots in healing traditions, dating back to Hippocrates, the ancient Greek physician often called the Father of Medicine. The term “subluxation” refers to a partial dislocation or misalignment, and it has been central to chiropractic philosophy and education since the profession’s inception.
Chiropractic’s founder, D.D. Palmer, recognized that even a slight misalignment of the vertebrae could place pressure on the spinal cord or nerves, disrupting vital communication within the body. Through precise spinal adjustments, chiropractors work to restore proper joint motion, relieve nerve interference, and support the body’s natural ability to heal — without the need for drugs or surgery.
As B.J. Palmer, the developer of chiropractic, famously wrote in 1909, “In every disease that is supposed to be contagious, we find a cause in the spine… a subluxation that corresponds to every type of disease.”
Modern chiropractic care builds upon this foundation, focusing on the detection and correction of subluxations that interfere with nervous system function. When spinal bones are out of proper alignment, they can compress or irritate the delicate nerves that serve as the communication pathway between the brain and every cell, tissue, and organ. By identifying and correcting these disturbances, Dr. Lee Stafford helps restore balance, enhance function, and unlock the body’s innate potential for self-healing.
How a Subluxation Disrupts Optimal Health
A vertebral subluxation interferes with the normal communication pathways of the nervous system — the master control system of the entire body. Your body is made up of countless interconnected systems, all guided by an innate intelligence that continuously adapts to changes inside and outside of you.
Every second, the brain sends and receives millions of nerve impulses to and from the body’s trillions of cells, coordinating every movement, function, and response. These vital messages travel through the spinal cord and the intricate network of nerves that branch out from it.
When one or more vertebrae become misaligned, this alignment shift can distort or block those messages. The result is nerve interference — a breakdown in the body’s ability to communicate and self-regulate. Over time, this interference can reduce performance, limit healing potential, and affect the body’s ability to maintain true health and balance.
What Causes a Vertebral Subluxation?
Subluxations can develop from a wide range of everyday stresses — both physical and emotional. Physical stressors like poor posture, repetitive movements, slips and falls, sports injuries, or even the birthing process can shift vertebrae out of their proper position. Chemical stressors, including poor nutrition, toxins, and medications, can also affect muscle tone and nerve function, making the spine more vulnerable to misalignment. And emotional stress, such as anxiety or tension, can cause muscles to tighten, pulling the spine out of balance over time.
Because the nervous system controls every organ, tissue, and cell, any interference along this communication highway can reduce your body’s ability to function and heal as it should. Left uncorrected, subluxations can contribute to a variety of health challenges — not just back or neck pain, but issues related to sleep, digestion, energy, immunity, and overall performance.
At Equilibrium Chiropractic, Dr. Lee Stafford focuses on locating and correcting these subluxations through gentle, specific chiropractic adjustments. The goal is simple yet powerful: to restore normal alignment, remove nerve interference, and allow your body to function the way it was designed to — naturally and optimally.
