Chiropractic care is centered on preserving and restoring health, which involves paying close attention to subluxation.
A subluxation is a series functional, structural, and/or pathological joint changes that can have an effect on neural integrity, organ system functioning, and general health. As such, it's not a surprise that nervous system control is a key aspect of chiropractic services. A chiropractor uses the best empirical and rational evidence available to select varying procedures to evaluate, diagnose, and manage a subluxation.
Why should I make regular appointments with a chiropractor?
Many people put off going to the doctor until they develop symptoms or have some sort of health crisis. In most instances, a subluxation shows very few, if any, initial symptoms. Chiropractors are well versed in postural issues, which are one of the earliest indications of subluxation. Seeing a chiropractor on a regular basis greatly increases the chances of catching a subluxation early. The less time you spend with a subluxation, the less likely it is to do irreversible harm.
How do chiropractic adjustments and other chiropractic services help maintain general well-being?
Chiropractors strive to help their patients maintain a healthy relationship between the nervous system, spine, and bodily functions. When chiropractors correct a subluxation, they do their part to maintain this healthy relationship. You don't want to wait until you get really sick or end up in a lot of pain before you make a chiropractic appointment. You also don't want to receive chiropractic treatment and then resort to old behaviors or routines that reverse the effects of the care. Have regular chiropractic appointments and follow your chiropractor's advice to get well and stay well.
