Chiropractic care is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle.
Millions of Americans have discovered that chiropractic is more than just a treatment for neck nd back pain. Chiropractic care is a natural, drug-free approach to living a healthy life.
Your spine is composed of 24 moveable bones or vertebrae separated by cartilagenous spacers known as discs. The job of your spine is to house and protect your spinal cord. The job of your spinal cord is to allow your body and your brain to communicate. This is vital because your spinal cord, along with your brain, control and coordinate every single function in your body.
Misalignments in your spine, known as subluxations, can interfere with that communication process. Subluxation can be the result of trauma like a sporting injury, slip or fall or motor vehicle accident. But also by our habits. Things like texting, sitting in front of a computer for long hours, poor sleeping positions, and poor postures in the workplace. When you have subluxation the weight of your body is not distributed evenly leading to early arthritic changes, limited mobility, and eventually pain.
Unfortunately subluxation, like many conditions, doesn’t always produce pain until it has been present in the body for awhile. Luckily regular chiropractic check-ups can identify and correct subluxation before it has the chance to create irreversible damage in the body.
