Why do people need chiropractic check ups

Why do people need chiropractic check ups, such is a good question.  When a patient first enters into chiropractic care it is often after years of abuse on the body or after a period of prolonged stress when ‘ Fight or Flight ‘ status has been in play for a long time. Such issues can produce degenerative changes to the spine and affect the body’s nervous system in a number of ways. Insomnia , digestive disorders and chronic headaches can all be examples of stress running wild in the body. Stress itself can be the result of different forms such as structural, emotional and chemical issues. However, all of these can impact the nervous system, immune or endocrine systems and be responsible for subluxations in the body. Fortunately chiropractic is specifically geared to remove subluxations from the problem areas as part of their treatment. So while a patient may feel relief after a few chiropractic treatments the body may take several months for the nervous system to heal itself from the trauma of an unhealthy life style imposed on it. The actual purpose of chiropractic is not to deal with the acute headache and backache symptoms but rather to enhance the body’s ability to deal with challenges on a daily basis. Health then is more than the absence of symptoms but rather the body’s ability to live an enhanced quality of life. Patients who receive regular chiropractic care are generally stronger, more balanced and resistant to diseases.
