The human body is an amazingly complex system of bones, joints, muscles, and nerves, designed to work together to accomplish one thing: motion. Remember that motion is life. Everything about the human body is designed with motion in mind: nerve fibers stimulate the muscles to contract, muscles contract to move the bones, bones move around joints, and the nerve system controls it all.

As a matter of fact, research has shown that motion is so critical to our body's health that a lack of motion has a detrimental affect on everything from digestion to our emotional state, immune function, our ability to concentrate, how well we sleep and even to how long we live. If your lifestyle does not include enough motion, your body cannot function efficiently. First, you will not be as physically healthy and will suffer from a wide variety of physical ailments, ranging from headaches to high blood pressure. Second, you will not be as productive in your life because of reduced energy levels and the lack of ability to mentally focus. Third, because you have less energy, your activity level will tend to drop off even further over time, creating a downward spiral of reduced energy and less activity until you get to a point where even the demands of a sedentary job leave you physically exhausted at the end of the day.

  • Posture

    The ancient Japanese art form of growing Bonsai trees is fascinating. Bonsai trees are essentially normal shrubs that have been consistently stressed in a particular way for a long time to create a posture which would never be found in nature. Depending on how the tree is stressed while it grows, it

  • Movement

    Imagine waking up one morning with a frozen shoulder where you couldn't move your upper arm more than a few inches in any direction. How much would that impact your ability to do your job? How much would that affect your ability to drive your car or even to dress yourself? How much would that affect

  • Balance

    Balance and coordination exist when the body is used for what it is designed for. Exercises such as walking, swimming, yoga, Pilates, bicycling, martial arts, and bodybuilding all help to improve muscle coordination. Activities such as working at a desk, reading, and watching television do the opposite

  • Strength

    Strong muscles keep your body upright and allow you to move. Good muscle strength and balance are critical to maintain proper posture and minimize muscle tension. Your muscles function much like the wires that hold up a tall radio or television antenna. If the wires are equally strong on all sides, the

Reviews By Our Satisfied Patients

  • "I first came to see Dr. Canzano about neck and back pain. Dr. Canzano came highly recommended from a wonderful friend of mine who was also a patient. I was in constant pain and had chronic headaches and migraines. I was also taking a lot of pain medication which was only masking my problems. Dr. Canzano's holistic approach to treatment has been a very positive and rewarding one for me. Her advice about diet, nutrition, and exercise has been invaluable to me.

    This is a very special practice -- more like good friends or family. It is a warm, friendly and peaceful place that nurtures the whole person -- mind, body and spirit. Shirl's healing hands and welcoming personality are a critical part of the practice. She is a gifted massage therapist with incredible skills and intuition.

    I have recommended many friends and family members and continue to do so. I honestly don't know what I would do without the care this practice provides."

  • "I came to see Dr. Canzano because of shoulder pain and headaches. I was experiencing decreased activity and concentration. After a few visits, my co-workers started commenting that I was smiling again! I feel better generally when I have regular adjustments."

  • "I was searching for an Activator chiropractor. I had chronic and debilitating neck pain from too many auto accidents. My experience at Canzano Chiropractic has been incredible. Sometimes the adjustments give immediate relief. The nurturing, healing environment, the whole health counseling, massage and alternative healthcare give me whole body healing.

    Canzano Chiropractic offers me a holistic alternative to healthcare, giving myself and my body the assistance to heal. They care about the well being of their patients."
