Q: I feel fine so why would I go to the chiropractor if I do not have a sore back or neck?
A: While the majority of people go to the chiropractor when they are experiencing pain or discomfort, the benefits of chiropractic care extend beyond just corrective procedures aimed at eliminating pain. Being proactive with your health and well-being by going to the chiropractor for wellness checkups can help you maintain your body’s foundation.
In the same way that the foundation of a house needs to be sound in order to prevent cracks and creaks in the building, your spine is your body’s foundation and must be maintained to prevent your own creaks! Secondary conditions occur when there is an imbalance in your foundation and can transpire quickly or gradually. For example, if you hit a pothole with your car and the tires are not properly aligned, you might immediately blow out a tire, or the damage to your tires might slowly worsen from repetitive use. Either way, bringing your car in for regular maintenance is important. Just like getting the tires on your car realigned, your body needs its alignment checked! Come in for a complimentary consultation to learn more about how we can help you continue on the path of wellness.
