Care - Health
Maintenance
Is regular chiropractic care necessary?
Regular chiropractic care may be necessary to
correct spinal Subluxations to help maintain
sound health and fitness. Your spine is under
constant strain during waking hours. Improper
lifting techniques, poor posture, accidents,
falls and bumps, and other causes can contribute
to spinal strain. Timely adjustments can help
restore the neuromusculoskeletal integrity of
the spine to normalize the bodily equilibrium
and increase resistance.
How old should a person be before he or she
begins chiropractic care?
Chiropractic patients range in years from birth
to old age. Regardless of age, the vertebrae can
become misaligned. For example, the birth
process may cause trauma to the neck and spine.
Left uncorrected, the vertebral subluxation may
disturb the delicate spinal cord and nerves
which control the youngster's muscles and
organs. In some cases, an uncorrected
subluxation may lead to a deformity of the
spinal column. An early chiropractic checkup may
detect many spinal problems while they are still
easily correctable.
Should I go to a Chiropractor if I feel fine?
Even if you feel fine, chiropractic care can
help your body maintain its required level of
health and fitness. Your chiropractor can
recommend a preventive spinal-care program and
advise you on correct posture, dietary
information and back exercises. Regular spinal
checkups can help detect and prevent spinal
stress due to Subluxations.
How does chiropractic care help the pregnant
woman?
Because of the additional weight and stress on
the framework of the body in pregnant women,
chiropractic adjustments can help lower the
incidence of pain in the low back and legs, and
between the shoulder blades. In some cases,
fewer headaches and problems with nausea and
elimination may also result. Many chiropractors
care for expectant mothers in the regular course
of their daily practices. It is wise, however,
to first inquire about the experience of your
chiropractor in caring for pregnant women and
what he or she recommends for you.
