FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC CARE

Family Chiropractic Care

Holistic Wellness Tailored for Every Generation:

Chiropractic Care for the Entire Family.

Welcome to Pine Valley Chiropractic, located in northern Fort Wayne, Indiana, where your well-being is our priority.


Led by Dr. Nic West, we are dedicated to being your steadfast partner on the journey to optimal health. Through advanced Chiropractic Care, our mission is to enhance your mobility and alleviate discomfort, empowering you to lead a life of vibrancy and vitality.


At Pine Valley Chiropractic, we believe that health is our most precious asset. We understand that when we lose our health, we lose everything. Finances, careers, relationships, and quality of life are all deeply impacted by our health.


At the core of our philosophy lies the belief that chiropractic care is essential for the entire family, from birth until death. We recognize that the nervous system serves as the master command system of the body, influencing all aspects of health and healing. That's why we emphasize the importance of chiropractic care for people of all ages.


Our vision at Pine Valley Chiropractic is to see full families achieve and maintain true well-being over a lifetime. We aim to create a community where families understand and embrace the true definition of health, achieving and maintaining it for generations to come.


Join us in realizing this vision and take the first step towards a lifetime of wellness with Pine Valley Chiropractic.

Principled chiropractic care is rooted in fostering the fullest expression of life and health, beginning long before the onset of pain or symptoms. Often, nerve interference, spinal degeneration, and chronic disease silently accumulate over years, even decades, before manifesting any noticeable discomfort. This gradual decline in health occurs unnoticed, weakening the body's resistance to disease development. Chiropractic offers a proactive, cause-based approach to restoring, optimizing, and maintaining true health and vitality.


From an early age, we absorb our fundamental values and perspectives from those who nurture and guide us – our parents, teachers, and mentors. In today's society, many families are accustomed to a reactive, medical "sick care" model, waiting until health is compromised before seeking treatment to alleviate symptoms. Principled chiropractic diverges from this approach by prioritizing proactive health measures. We believe that health is too valuable to disregard until signs of illness emerge.


At Pine Valley Chiropractic, our mission is to deliver care that promotes optimal bodily function and health expression. We aim to empower parents with the knowledge and tools to impart timeless health principles to their families, ensuring a legacy of health and wellness. With a focus on family chiropractic care, we are committed to supporting your family's journey toward a healthier, more vibrant life.

CHIROPRACTIC CARE

FOR CHILDREN AND INFANTS


Eighty percent of first subluxations occur at birth. The very physicality of the delivery process causes most of us to experience nerve interference from the very beginning of our lives. If not at birth, then all children develop subluxation at some point early in life. Children explore, investigate, and push boundaries. As they investigate and learn from the wonderful new world around them, accidents are inevitable. The average child falls around 2,000 times in their first five years of life. Two hundred of these falls can be considered serious enough to hospitalize an adult. In addition to falls, we have sports injuries, sitting for long periods at school desks, poor posture, carrying a backpack, and “fender benders” while learning to drive in adolescence, among so many other physical stressors that can and do lead to subluxation. Thankfully, infants and children are resilient. However, with each of these falls and injuries, nerve interference may become a reality. Without timely correction, this interference develops and accumulates.

The Impact of Principled Chiropractic Care on Child Development


From infancy, our bodies grow and develop at an impressive rate. The first body system to develop in utero is the nervous system. The nervous system not only regulates all bodily function as an adult, it also controls and coordinates all development as a child. With this perspective, you can see why nerve interference caused by subluxation is even more devastating to a developing child than to a full-grown adult. We see commonly that children under long-term, consistent, principled chiropractic care express much less frequently and intensely the kinds of symptoms and health challenges that plague most American children today. Chiropractic kids rarely, if ever, express health challenges like ear infections, allergies, asthma, bronchitis, croup, and eczema. We find that children under this kind of care also present with stronger immune systems, developing colds and flus much less frequently, and recovering from them faster when they do. This inevitably leads to healthier, happier children who perform better in school, sports, and extracurricular activities. It also means kids who rely less, if ever, on the usage of medication. Any parent will agree, that’s a huge plus!

Safety and Gentle Healing: Chiropractic Care for Children and Infants


Chiropractic care is gentle in general, but even more so with children and infants. Many people have an unfortunate misunderstanding in thinking that chiropractic for children may be dangerous or risky. In truth, while chiropractic is one of the safest healing arts overall, and much safer than medical intervention, it is particularly safe with regard to infants and children. As you might imagine, the adjustment techniques used with infants and children are different than those used with adults. The amount of force necessary to correct subluxation in a newborn is most often no more than light, pinky-point pressure. What certainly cannot be debated by anyone who has visited a principled chiropractic health center and met families who have been under care for years, is that chiropractic care is one of the biggest and most valuable blessings children can receive from the earliest of ages.

Dr. Nic West At Pine Valley Chiropractic Is On A Mission To Help Parents Raise Healthy Families In Fort Wayne And Its Surrounding Communities. We Are Here To Help Your Family Correct The Root Cause Of Current Health Challenges, To Prevent Future Ones, And To Set Your Children Up For A Lifetime Of Health As They Age And Become Thriving Adults.

CHIROPRACTIC CARE FOR SENIOR CITIZENS


The later years in life are supposed to truly be “golden years.” These are years through which we are able to use the insights that we have gathered over a lifetime of experience to reach higher levels of understanding and enlightenment. We then have the grand and joyful experience of passing this invaluable wisdom on to our most cherished loved ones in subsequent generations.

Quite unfortunately, however, the elder years are loathed in our society, and aging is experienced reluctantly. This is because aging in America has become synonymous with slowing down, losing our mental faculties, experiencing pain and joint deterioration, sickness, disease, and handicap. This eventuality certainly does not have to be the case. As Harvard longevity studies have demonstrated, we are designed as human beings to live an average of 100 years of quality, energetic, and prosperous, chronic sickness and disease-free life. No matter what injuries we have suffered in the past and no matter what age we begin caring for our spines and nervous systems, we have the potential to heal and function at our best.

Through gentle and specific chiropractic adjustments, seniors in our Fort Wayne community reduce their dependency on prescriptions and experience a new and improved level of energy and vitality. Even if you currently have no symptoms, you can rejuvenate your body and improve your health at any age when you seek the care of Dr. Nic West at Pine Valley Chiropractic. Well-functioning nervous systems and great quality health allow us to experience a truly full life, and the ability to make all the best memories we can with friends, family, and loved ones.
