Chiropractic...
As a chiropractic physician, Dr. Levine was trained to listen to and look at the body as a whole. Our bodies are made to move effortlessly with grace, strength, and balance. We are designed to be totally integrated in body, mind, and spirit. Dr. Linda looks at a person with the eyes of an experienced clinician, tuned in to the biomechanics of the body that are directed by an all-controlling, always sensing nervous system. Did you know that there are 45 miles of nerves in our bodies? They control every cell and direct the function of every system. Dr. Linda's job is to normalize spinal function, which powerfully affects your nervous system. This, in turn, affects your health.
Dr. Levine was trained extensively in traditional chiropractic methods and uses a "hands on" approach, without the use machines or mechanical "adjusting" devices. While there is nothing wrong with these methods she prefers to use her hands. She feels that one can not improve upon the human hand and its ability to heal.

What is chiropractic?
The word is derived from the Greek words "chiros," meaning "hand," and "prakticos," meaning to "practice."As a system of healing, it was founded in 1896 after Dr. D.D. Palmer realized the relationship between the improvement of health conditions and normalizing spine function via hand treatments applied to the body.
It is a safe and effective way to treat a variety of conditions without the use of surgery or potentially harmful drugs. It is the second largest organized health care profession in the U.S. and is recognized by most insurance companies.
Its primary tenets seek to normalize spine function, which in turn normalizes nervous system function, which in turn optimizes healing and health. Manipulation of the spine stimulates powerfully the nervous system and as such reduces pain and muscle spasm, opening the door to healing. By way of neurologic reflex dynamics, manipulation of the spine can stimulate distant healing throughout the body, not just at the site of treatment. For instance, manipulation of the foot often heals back and leg pain and vice versa. Headaches are commonly helped when stiff and painful upper back or neck joints are manipulated to restore normal function. Dr. Levine has frequently seen internal disorders change when spinal function is normalized!
