I created this site to help you understand that there’s an approach to health care that is non-invasive and drug free – one that supports your body’s innate ability to heal itself. One of the things I love the most is to be a part of another’s healing journey. I’ve had the privilege to work with humans, cats, dogs and horses.
Chiropractic explained
What is a subluxation and what does it do to me?
In simplest terms, a subluxation (a.k.a. Vertebral Subluxation) is when one or more of the bones of your spine (vertebrae) move out of position and create pressure on, or irritate spinal nerves. Spinal nerves are the nerves that come out from between each of the bones in your spine. This pressure or irritation on the nerves then causes those nerves to malfunction and interfere with the signals traveling over those nerves.
How does this affect you? Your nervous system controls and coordinates all the functions of your body. If you interfere with the signals traveling over nerves, parts of your body will not get the proper nerve messages and will not be able to function at 100% of their innate abilities. In other words, some part of your body will not be working properly. It is the responsibility of the Doctor of Chiropractic to locate subluxations, and reduce or correct them. This is done through a series of chiropractic adjustments specifically designed to correct the vertebral subluxations in your spine. Chiropractors are the only professionals who undergo years of training to be the experts at correcting subluxations.
About Dr. Eve Capkanis
There is nothing that gives me more joy than to be a part of another’s healing process. I’ve had a lot of health challenges my entire life and for this reason I became a chiropractor. It was the most helpful and transformational work that I received on my journey to greater health and healing.
Over the 30 years that I have been in practice I have learned a variety of disciplines. They include:
- Network Chiropractic
- Somato Respiratory Integration
- Trager Bodywork
- Breathwork
- Nutrition
- Self-Regulation Therapy
- (For healing trauma)
- Reiki
- Yoga
- Pilates Teacher Training
I have also trained with Dr. Lance Wright founder of the Flowtrition method of healing for all creatures. I have also been certified to work with cats, dogs and horses. This method fulfills a deep passion of wanting to work with and help the four-legged creatures.
While living in New York City and studying under Milton Trager, I discovered the work of Dr. Donald Epstein, founder of Network Chiropractic, now called Network Spinal Analysis. Following his encouragement, I went to Life Chiropractic College where I received my Doctorate of Chiropractic in 1993. Over the years I have gained various levels of certification in NSA.
In 1997 I opened a private practice in Great Barrington, Massachusetts and also practiced at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health. In 2002 I moved to the Pioneer Valley and renamed my practice Blue Star Chiropractic.
My philosophy remains that every creature has the innate ability to heal itself. Chiropractic creates the environment for that healing.
I work with humans, domestic animals and horses and assist people and animals in all aspects of their health. It would be my honor and privilege to have the opportunity to work with you, and/or your pets.
