How do you know when it's time for an adjustment, even when you are feeling good? We are often asked this question and the answer is, it's different for every person. We cannot stress enough how important regular "maintenance" care is to keep the spine and nervous system in proper working order. The spinal segments need regular movement and that movement allows the discs to pump better, which brings nutrients into the discs and takes waste products out of the disc. It also creates a balanced muscular system, reducing tight muscles and improving posture. Inter-segmental movement can only be accomplished during Chiropractic adjustments. You can stretch, exercise and go for walks around the park all day long, but that will not accomplish the type of mobility that the spine NEEDS from time to time, no matter how hard you try on your own. How often you schedule a maintenance appointment is entirely dependent on your lifestyle, activities of daily living and the physical strain that is placed on your body every day. A 45 year old construction worker is going to have different needs than a 22 year old college student. We give all of our patients a guide to follow once they hit this stage in their care. We also understand that many people wait until they are in pain before they make an appointment. We want you to realize that preventative care will make a world of difference in the long-run. It will keep your muscles, joints, ligaments, tendons, nerves and immune system healthy all year long!
