One of the most common question I get from patients is “once I start chiropractic I heard you have to keep going”. Here are the reasons. First you use your body 24/7 even while asleep, your body is restoring, repairing, and healing. The spine is one area most people neglect long term until they start having symptoms, by then it may not be repairable, chronic pain for life,  inability to function normally, and may debilitate to your activity daily living. The brain sends messages or instructions through the nervous system,  the spine protects the spinal cord and nerves that control the organs, cells, and tissue of the body. Our bodies are under constant physical, emotional, and chemical stress. The spinal bones may start to shift due to trauma, repetitive motion, poor posture, weight gain, etc. this condition known as subluxation or misalignment causing nerve pressure, leading to nerve irritation , inflammation, disc pressure, degeneration, and symptoms.
Chiropractic keeps the alignment of the spinal bones in place, reducing nerve irritation, slowing and stopping the degenerative process of the disc, joints, and relieving pain. The health of your body, organs, tissue, and cell is dependent on optimal nerve function. Depending on your condition you will start with relief care to reduce symptoms, rehab to correct and strengthen the spine and muscles, maintenance or wellness stabilizes your correction. Your visits reduce as you progress. Maintaining for life keeps a healthy spine, body, and nervous system. Chiropractic should be part of your healthy lifestyle, and healthy aging.
