About cardea chiropractic well-being in Greenland, New Hampshire
Our Mission
The name cardea (kar-dee-uh) comes from the Roman goddess of health and protector of children whose power was to "open that which is closed." The name cardea reflects our mission, which is to expand access to one’s inner resourcefulness for health and well-being – for the entire family. When we experience pain or illness it means the body’s mechanism for righting itself through brain-body communication isn’t functioning properly due to physical, chemical and emotional factors that have accumulated and overwhelmed the nervous system. Our chiropractic job is to access your nervous system through specific points along your spine to amplify and clarify brain-body communication, allowing your true health potential.
Our Method
At cardea, we help you develop strategies in your body for sustainable wellness…so your health doesn’t hold you back from your life! We work directly with the nervous system, which controls every cell, organ and function in your body. We help people looking to close the gap between where their health is now, and where they would like to be. It's that simple.
Our primary focus is helping your nervous system remain free and clear of interference through gentle chiropractic care. Through wellness education in nutrition, exercise and the importance of a healthy mental perspective, we help you create a lifestyle to maintain a free and clear nervous system, for sustainable, vibrant health...for life.
Why We're Different
- Gentle Care. We specialize in Network Spinal Analysis (NSA), a chiropractic technique that is precise and gentle. A light touch, properly delivered, is much more effective than a more forceful approach.
- A Doctor Who Listens. We listen, offer feedback, and create a care plan based on your individual needs.
- Advanced Methods. We use sophisticated technology to precisely assess your nervous system’s health. Once we determine what's going on, we can customize a chiropractic care plan just for you. We objectively track your progress so you not only feel, but also see your results. The use of x-rays is not required in the majority of cases.
A Closer Look
In providing true wellness care, we address the three major factors that contribute to a loss of quality of health and quality of life. They can be grouped into three major categories:
- Physical/Structural:
- exercise & activity;
- posture & ergonomics;
- injuries (slips, falls and accidents);
- Chemical:
- nutrition and toxins,
- things we eat, drink, breathe and put on our skin;
- Neuro/Emotional, perspectives and limiting beliefs reinforcing stress physiology.
Any of these categories can easily cause interference with the important bodily functions below:
- Digestive;
- Immune;
- Reproductive;
- and Memory;
…and hold us back from our greatest health potential. Our model offers three progressive levels of care. Each level is distinct in the outcomes expected, the changes you may experience, and the frequency of chiropractic care visits.
Progression of Chiropractic Care
Basic Care, which allows your nervous system to begin making changes;
Intermediate Care, where chronic underlying causes of loss of health are addressed, and the same old concerns no longer continue to interfere with your life.
Wellness Care, keeping you healthy and vital, and a new higher baseline of health established.
Quality of health and quality of life are intimately connected. Therefore we encourage practice members and their families to take actions to move toward their best health. Through educational opportunities including frequent in-house workshops, we communicate the value of ongoing wellness care.
Your Healthcare Team. We see ourselves as partners working toward your health goals. It’s your body, your health and your future. Our job is to give you the finest care possible and provide you and your family with tools for sustainable wellness.
