About
Us
My name is John C. D’Ambrosio, D.C., and I am
the sole proprietor and owner of Head First Chiropractic. I
am also one of a small handful of chiropractors who
specializes and works directly with the cranium or
skull.
I have been under regular chiropractic care for over
20 years now and I still get checked weekly by my chiropractor. As
a chiropractor for over a decade and a half, I deal
with the health, wellness and the innate or inborn
intelligence within the body that controls and regulates
life and healing.
To understand what I mean, there are a few facts that
need to be established. A
foundation if you will. The first is that the human body is a self-healing
and self-regulating organism. This means that if you cut yourself, you
don’t have to think about the wound healing; the body does this on its
own. This is something that does not take place
if a corpse or cadaver would to be cut and only occurs
when life is present.
Self-regulation is also something that occurs without
our thoughts or concentration. For
example, consider the 4 trillion red blood cells circulating within your body. Red
blood cells have a lifespan of 120 days. Do you have to think and keep
track of which of the red blood cells needs to be destroyed and replaced? When
you swallow your food, do you have to concentrate on secreting stomach acid for
the breakdown of this food, on the absorption of the various nutrients? When
you exercise do you have to focus on increasing your heart rate, beat by beat,
to ensure that the right amount of blood gets to your muscles and the correct
amount of oxygen is brought into your lungs, passed along to your red blood cells,
and then to the areas of the body in need? This
is self-regulation.
Now that we’ve established that the human body is a self-healing and self-regulating
organism, let’s move onto the next pertinent piece of information. The
master system that controls the self-healing and self-regulating is the central
nervous system. This consists of the brain and spinal cord. It
is your nervous system which calls your immune system
to action, which deals with and controls the healing
process, which signals the glands to secrete, signals
the muscles to contract and relax along with so many
other processes that allow you to function and live
as a healthy human being.
With this fact established, it now stands to reason
that any interference within the central nervous system
will in turn negatively impact the ability of the body
to self-regulate and self-heal. These interferences
do indeed take place, and they are called subluxations. As
a chiropractor, I determine if your body is being affected
by these subluxations and then I remove them, allowing
the body to once again function at optimal levels.
How does one end up with subluxations? These subluxations are related to
lifestyle stress and in many cases, don’t exhibit any symptoms, yet still
cause nerve interference. This is why even in
the absence of symptoms, it was critical for everyone,
including children, to have their subluxations adjusted.
How can a chiropractor detect these subluxations? In our office, we have
cutting edge computerized technology which is used by NASA and certified by the
Space Foundation to do just that. This technology
is also used by professional sports teams as well,
such as the Indianapolis Colts, the Baltimore Ravens,
the Detroit Lions, the San Diego Padres, and the Houston
Rockets just to name a few.
Why would athletes need to have their subluxations
detected and removed through chiropractic care? One of the best kept secrets in professional sports
is an athletes’ ability to enhance their performance
though improved nervous system function.
Athletes aren’t the only group who benefits from
chiropractic care; everyone can. My primary intention
with every person who is a member of my practice is to
adjust subluxations and thereby improve the efficiency
of neural function which will translate into a greater
ability for the individual to express and experience
life. That is what chiropractic is to me and
why I am a chiropractor.
