Most people only make an appointment with their doctor when they aren’t feeling well. Scheduling a visit with your physician when you feel just fine is a relatively new practice. And yet, an increasing number of people who want to achieve true health are regularly visiting their chiropractor. These visits are to stay well, not just relieve back pain. Here’s how chiropractic may be the key to great health.
The First Sign
Remember when you were a kid and being sick meant staying home from school when you didn’t feel good and going back when you were all better? We’ve been taught to think that being sick means there are obvious symptoms, but that isn’t always the case. Many health issues are the direct result of an unhealthy lifestyle and they don’t always come with obvious symptoms that one would expect to see until the effects are well advanced.
A Healthy Response
The opposite – when you feel unwell but are actually healthy – can also be true. If you eat a food item that hasn’t been handled properly and find yourself vomiting to expel it from your system, you don’t feel well but are having a healthy response. True health isn’t limited to how we feel, but how well our bodies function.
Central Control
How well our bodies function is based on the wellness of the nervous system, and that is why so many people come to Preferred Chiropractic for wellness care. Our patients want to make sure that every system in the body is functioning optimally. When the spine is healthy, the central nervous system operates at its best. Because it is the communication hub of the body, that means the rest of the body systems follow suit.
Achieve True Health
True health is much more than simply not being sick. It is the combination of your mental, social, and physical well-being. A well-rounded diet, physical activity, and drinking plenty of water are health habits that yield even bigger results when your nervous system is functioning optimally.
Everyone wants to feel their best and your healthcare shouldn’t be limited to whether or not you are experiencing pain or other symptoms. Problems can exist even without obvious symptoms…just like high blood pressure, heart disease, and even dental cavities!
