Many people think of chiropractic care as something you only seek when you’re actively experiencing pain. That is certainly an option, although you may find it beneficial to use chiropractic maintenance for optimum health. Here are some reasons that people seek maintenance care from a qualified chiropractor:
Because they work a desk job
People who drive for a living, work at a desk, or otherwise work in a stationary or hunched position are at risk for slowly developing curvature of the back or neck, resulting in a hunched posture as they age. Routine chiropractic maintenance care can make the small adjustments to keep healthy posture or slow the deterioration of proper posture.
To support their immune system
A study by Ronald Pero, Ph.D. found that chiropractic patients were shown to have a 200% greater immune competence than people who had not received chiropractic care, and a 400% greater immune competence than people with cancer or serious diseases.
“Chiropractic may optimize whatever genetic abilities you have so that you can fully resist serious disease…I have never seen a group other than this show a 200% increase over normal patients.” -Ronald Pero, Ph.D.
To prevent injury
Symmetrical physiology prevents injury, and chiropractic care focuses on creating proper symmetry in the skeletal system, through small adjustments. Injuries can still happen if you receive preventative care, but the way your body reacts to the injury will be different. You will have properly aligned joints, allowing your nervous system to work efficiently, enabling a stronger immune system as well.
“People can see the premature wear and tear on their car’s tires that occurs if the wheels are misaligned, yet the same holds true for the human body if the spine is misaligned.” -Robert Blaich, D.C., of Los Angeles
