Kilian, can you explain me what is Chiropractic ?
"The Chiropractic care is focused on the proper functioning of the nervous system and its interaction with the spine. It is based on the fundamental principle that the body has an innate ability to heal itself, but this ability can be compromised by vertebral subluxations. A subluxation occurs when a vertebra is misaligned or dysfunctional, creating interference with the transmission of nerve signals. These interferences disrupt the communication between the brain and the rest of the body, affecting the proper functioning of organs and tissues.
Subluxations can result from various factors, such as physical stress (poor posture, accidents), emotional stress (psychological tension), or chemical stress (poor diet, toxins). When these imbalances persist, they create an interference in the nervous system, disrupting the body's overall harmony.
In this perspective, complaint is not seen as the issue to treat directly, but rather as a warning signal—the visible symptom of a deeper cause. It indicates that the body is trying to draw attention to a dysfunction—the vertebral subluxation—that needs correction. Chiropractic care, therefore, aims to address the root cause of pain by restoring vertebral alignment and freeing the nervous system from interferences. This approach enables the body’s natural function to be restored, promoting healing and long-term well-being.
By addressing the source of complaint and dysfunction rather than the symptoms themselves, chiropractic care offers a holistic solution that helps maintain optimal health and wellness."

Book an appointment for an intake. We will assess the functionality of your nervous system, check the subluxations responsible of the dysfunctions in your body, advise you on a suitable care plan, and explain our approach to correcting subluxations.
What about your complaint ?
Have you ever considered that pain, as uncomfortable as it may be, is actually your body’s alarm to warn you of an underlying cause? Indeed, pain is always the result of an underlying cause. Your body emits this pain so that you can take drastic measures to improve your health.

Does chiropractic only improve physical health?
The best way to answer this question is to tell you stories.
Story 1
An experienced chiropractor receives a man in consultation for a persistent shoulder pain. After several sessions, the pain still lingers, and the man, frustrated, addresses the chiropractor:
"I thought you were going to help me relieve this tension, but since I've been coming here, nothing has changed."
The chiropractor remains silent for a moment, observing the man. Then, he gently turns to the little girl who always accompanies her father, and kindly asks her:
"Have you noticed any change in your dad since he started coming here?"
The little girl looks up and, with an honest voice, replies:
"Yes, since my daddy started coming here, he stopped hitting me… and he stopped hitting mommy too."
The chiropractor then turns back to the man, the weight of the words hanging in the air. He calmly, but gravely says:
"I did not lie to you. Chiropractic has indeed reduced your tension... and it has improved your life."
A heavy silence follows. It wasn't just about a shoulder. It was a path toward inner healing, a release far deeper than mere physical pain.
Story 2
A young woman in her thirties walks into the chiropractic office with a weary smile. She works for a large company, spending countless hours in front of a computer. For months, she has been suffering from debilitating migraines that seem to come out of nowhere. No treatment has been effective, and she feels like she's losing control of her personal life—struggling to balance work, friends, and family.
At her first consultation, she explains to the chiropractor that the migraines prevent her from concentrating, leave her drained, and that she can’t take it anymore. The chiropractor listens to her story carefully and realizes that her body is under extreme tension, both physically and emotionally. He explains the role the nervous system plays in regulating stress and suggests treating the areas of tension in her neck and spine.
After a few sessions, she notices a slight improvement. But it is during the fifth session that she sits down, her face lit with a newfound brightness.
"I haven’t told you this," she begins, almost hesitantly, "but for years I’ve felt stuck, like I was trapped in a never-ending cycle of stress and exhaustion. Since I started coming here, it’s not just my migraines that are getting better... I feel calmer. I’ve found balance again. I’m sleeping better, handling my days with more ease. It’s like the fog in my head is finally lifting."
The chiropractor smiles gently and explains that the tension in her body was partly tied to her stressful lifestyle, but sometimes a physical adjustment can restore internal harmony as well.
"Stress often hides in the body," he says, "and when we release it, the mind can finally breathe."
She leaves the consultation feeling lighter than she has in a long time. The pain may have lodged itself in her body, but the healing had reached much deeper.
Story 3
A woman in her twenties suffers from chronic back pain, related to her obesity, and with every step she takes, you can feel her physical and emotional exhaustion. Her movements are heavy, as if the weight of her entire life rested on her shoulders, and even more so on her spine. Her back pain has become unbearable, and she decides to see a chiropractor in hopes of relief.
The chiropractor, after listening to her story, realizes that this physical pain is only part of a deeper problem. He suggests a care plan to realign her spine and reduce the pressure on her nervous system.
The first few sessions gradually ease her back pain. But at the 11th session, something happens. She sits down in the office, a little hesitant, and says to the chiropractor:
"I don’t know if this is related, but since I’ve been coming here, I no longer feel those uncontrollable urges to eat. Before, whenever I was stressed or sad, I would throw myself at food. It was like an automatic reflex... But now, something has changed. I feel calmer, more in control."
The chiropractor, with a kind smile, explains to her that her behavior might be linked to the tension accumulated in her body and nervous system.
"Stress, whether emotional or physical, can build up in the spine and disrupt the nervous system," he says. "By releasing that tension, we help the body regulate itself better, allowing it to return to its natural balance."
She stays silent for a moment, reflecting on his words, then continues:
"I never made the connection between my body and those impulses. I thought food was my only refuge, but in reality, my body had been trying to tell me something all along. I’ve started to feel lighter, not just in my back, but in my mind too."
At the end of the session, she stands up with newfound energy. The pain that had driven her to the chiropractor is beginning to fade, but she realizes that the healing taking place goes far beyond her back. Her binge eating urges are slowly disappearing, and she is reclaiming not only physical comfort but also an inner peace she thought was impossible to achieve.

A few words from Kilian
Originally from France and raised in a family of caregivers, I grew up with a deep desire to help others. It’s a legacy I carry within me, and my mission is to pass on the knowledge, compassion, and passion for healing that I've received. My goal is to inspire compassion for others by guiding each person toward balanced health.
For me, chiropractic care is more than just a method of care; it is essential, as it seeks to understand complaints. Pain is never without meaning; it tells a story, often reflecting a deeper discomfort. It’s a message, a signal that our body sends to alert us when something is wrong and needs to change. Chiropractic care strives to go to the root of this suffering, identifying its cause to allow true growth and healing.
"If we seek only to eliminate pain, we eliminate all opportunities for change." I firmly believe that by seeking to understand pain, chiropractic care opens a path to growth, transformation, and full health.
