It starts with two cells, a male cell and a female cell, and these two cells come and join together in this bioelectrical explosion of life awesomeness, and they start to replicate and two becomes four, and four becomes eight and eight 16 and 1632. And it starts to form this. This raspberry or blackberry type shape.
And as the scientists continue to watch this development, the next thing they see is a canal coming right down the middle and they continue to watch. And at the top of the canal, a bump starts to form. And of course, this is the beginning of the development of the brain. And as they continue to watch, they see these filaments start to come down filament.
After filament start to come down, all these fibers, and of course what we’re seeing is the nerve system takes shape and at the end of these nerves, they start to see these little buds developing little nerve buds. And these buds start to form into the organs. And so we see the heart take shape, and then of course the lungs start to form.
And then the liver and the stomach and all of these organs start to take shape. The intestines start to form, and after these organs are all developed, we start to see the formation of bone. And the first bone to form is the skull. And the skull completely encases the brain, but there’s a hole in the bottom.
And this is where the spinal cord can come down and through to control and power the rest of the body. And then we start to see the development of the bones of the spine vertebrae. And these vertebrae are stacked on top of each other. It’s almost like donuts stacked on top of each other with a hole in the middle where the spinal cord can come through.
And then of course, after the spine’s developed, we start to see the ribs come around and encase and protect the rest of the organs. And in between these vertebrae are nerves and the scientists were able to attach a wire to one of these nerves and put the other end, attach it to a light bulb, and the electrical power from the brain coming down and out that nerve.
Is able to light the light bulb. But these nerves are very sensitive, and as they started to apply a little pressure, what they found is the weight of a nickel right there would cut the light bulb 60%. And as they applied a little bit more pressure, small amount of pressure, and boom, the light went out.
And remember, these are the nerves powering your organs. So we need to make sure these vertebrae are as square as possible. So that we have full electrical power from the brain getting down to the organ’s, glands, tissues, and cells. How much of the power from your brain do you want getting down to your body?
Well, of course we want 100% of the brain power getting down to the body. And how much of the bo body do we want it get into? Well, we want it get into 100% of the body, all the brain power getting down and out to the entire body. And for how long? Well, of course we want it 100% of the time. We always want to be functioning at full power, and we do that with our chiropractic adjustments where the entire focus is on correcting spinal misalignments.
To make sure we have full nerve power and there’s no interference getting down to the rest of the body. That’s why you should be getting chiropractic adjustments. That’s why everyone, you know, should be getting chiropractic adjustments. That is how chiropractic works.

I highly recommend Dr. Alter! He is highly knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely cares about his patients. I was in significant pain when I found his practice and after just a few treatments have had noticeable relief and much improved flexibility. Both Haley and Alexis are exceptional at keeping this place running smoothly as well as being kind, warm and welcoming. Highly recommend!!!
This has been my first experience with chiropractic treatment and I could not have asked for a better provider. The staff are always friendly and helpful; they always have a smile on their face when you walk through the doors. The treatment is AMAZING! Dr. Alter explains the process in a way that is easily understood. He is like the spine whisperer!!! His expertise and knowledge of what he is doing is so spot on that after one treatment I felt more energized relieved of pain. I’m happy I found Alter Chiropractor and look forward to each visit.
I came in dealing with pain and discomfort, and from my very first visit, I felt like I was in good hands. The entire team is kind, welcoming, and genuinely cares about their patients. Dr.Alter took the time to listen to what I was going through, explained everything clearly, and created a treatment plan that it’s really working for me. After just a few visits, I started feeling a noticeable difference, and now I have less pain and can move much more comfortably. Every visit has been professional, friendly, and focused on helping me get better. I'm truly grateful for the care I've received and highly recommend Dr.Alter and his office to anyone looking for a chiropractor who genuinely cares about their patients and delivers great results.
Alter chiropractic is amazing, I hurt my back in the gym and was able to get an appointment right away and instantly started to feel better. Between Alexis and Haley up front and Dr. Alter, they have an all around great staff and I always look forward to seeing them each appointment!
I'm visiting from out of town and the pain has gotten consistently worse, I got a same day appointment with Dr. Alter, he is very knowledgeable and friendly. He was able to help me with part of my problem, but helped me to get a more permanent solution while visiting and when I get back home. Very clean office and friendly/helpful staff. I even told him if he could just relocate his office to where I live, that's how impressed I was with his service.
I can’t recommend Alter Chiropractic enough! I came in with a pinched nerve that started in my neck and radiated through my shoulder all the way down to my thumb. I was incredibly stiff, had very limited mobility, and was dealing with constant nerve pain. I’m only halfway through my treatment program, and the difference has been amazing. My mobility has improved significantly, the stiffness is gone, and the nerve pain continues to subside. I’m finally getting the relief I was hoping for. Dr. Alter has been outstanding throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything, made sure I was comfortable with each step of my treatment, and genuinely cares about his patients’ progress. The staff is welcoming, professional, and always makes each visit a positive experience. The equipment and treatment approach have been exactly what I needed to get back on track. If you’re dealing with neck pain, a pinched nerve, or similar issues, I highly recommend Alter Chiropractic. I’m grateful for the care I’ve received and look forward to continuing my recovery.
I’ve had a great experience here! The staff is always so friendly and welcoming, and Dr.Alter is knowledgeable and makes every visit comfortable.
Doc Alter is the best! I have been going to chiropractic for over 20 years- his very simple techniques with minimal manipulation teach the body to heal itself at first had me skeptical - but it has me feeling better than I have in 10 years- don’t want to jinx it but my back hasn’t gone out since I started with him- and that is fantastic!
