You may be thinking that if you’re feeling perfectly fine, there’s no need to consider chiropractic treatment. Well, if you looked in the mirror and your teeth looked beautiful, would you say “I don’t need to go to the dentist?” So maybe you’re feeling fine, and maybe you’ve got a few aches and pains. Chiropractic treatment will benefit you in either case. It has preventive as well as curative value.
At the core of chiropractic practice is the belief that a healthy body is in many cases able to correct its own maladies. By keeping your spine in line and letting the nerves that run through it function properly, your body will work the way it should, including your autoimmune system. Cardiovascular, digestive and respiratory systems will work better if all the nerves that control them are unimpaired. This will also aid with stress reduction and help with emotional stability. So, key to chiropractic treatment is keeping your spine—and the two dozen or so vertebrae that comprise it—in proper alignment so that nerves are not impinged in any way.
But chiropractors do more than spinal adjustments. They can advise you on long-term lifestyle issues like diet, exercise, ergonomics—at home and at the office—and other challenges we all face in our daily lives. Talk with a chiropractor to set up a plan for a healthier life.
