A common thought about how to determine whether or not to go to the chiropractor may be associated with having a problem within the body. For example, you slip and fall and now you have pain that won’t go away. Now you have a problem that’s preventing complete restoration that needs to be fixed.
Often, people may wait for a sign or symptom to decide there is a problem within the body before seeking help, the mentality of “if its not broke, don’t fix it.”
A current challenge when considering chiropractic care may reside within a lack of understanding that how you feel doesn’t always correlate to how the body is functioning. Within the human body, breakdown and malfunction can occur well before signs or symptoms present themselves in a evident manner. For instance, you can have a dental cavity rotting your healthy tooth away without any physical sensation that the cavity is present.
Chiropractic care can restore proper relationship within the spinal joints due to misaligned vertebrae that can negatively affect the structural and functional state of the neurological system. Spinal bones protect the nerves, but if spinal integrity is less than optimal, neurological interference can result due to vertebral subluxation. When dysfunction is located within the spine due to vertebral subluxation, communication can be less than optimal between brain and body, in turn, creating a lower quality of function. This lower quality of function may or may not be noticed.
The following key steps may help you in the decision making process of considering chiropractic care:
- What are the current challenges with your quality of life?
- Can becoming healthier and investing into your wellbeing help you overcome those challenges?
- What options or alternatives are there besides chiropractic care?
- Consult with a chiropractor about your current state to help determine if chiropractic is appropriate for you after the findings from an evaluation.
- Implement the professional recommendations that have been given to you from your chiropractor.
