Chiropractic Adjustments-- Not just when you're in pain

Most patients who start seeing a chiropractor do so because they are in pain. Chiropractic care is extremely effective for most types of pain.
We need to remember that pain is most likely the last symptom to appear when there is some problem in the body. Once a faulty condition begins within the body, it can often take many months for the symptoms to begin. Once we feel the pain, significant damage to our tissues may have already occurred. Once chiropractic care is initiated, pain is usually the first thing to "disappear". The underlying problem, however, is still present and this is what needs to be corrected in order to bring the patient back to a healthy condition. This is why Chiropractic care is particularly necessary even when pain is no longer present. Chiropractic treats the cause, not the symptoms!
Just like we should keep regular check-ups to keep our teeth healthy, regular spinal check-ups are imperative for maintaining a healthy spine throughout a long life.
