What is Wellness Chiropractic?

If you had to choose between losing your teeth or your spine, which would you choose? This seems like a simple question. You can live without your teeth but you would be in pretty lousy shape without a spine...at least for the few seconds you were still living. My question, then, is why do we make sure to have our teeth checked every six months but neglect to do the same for our spines?

Dentists have done a wonderful job over the years of informing the public of the benefits of regular dental checkups and I think most people understand that they should see a dentist on a regular basis, even if there's nothing "wrong". Perhaps chiropractors have dropped the ball when it comes to explaining wellness care, but its benefits are undeniable.

Nearly every major issue I see in the office is a result of a process that has been building up slowly over time. In other words, big things do not usually just happen to your body. Many small things happen over time and left unchecked can lead to big things. The catch is that we do not always feel the small things when they happen. Regular chiropractic adjustments will help your body to resolve any small issues before they become big (and debilitating) and will strengthen your body so it is better able to deal with our daily stresses.

Your spine is your lifeline. It deserves your attention. Take care of it and it will take care of you.
