The other day I had a patient ask me a great question. She asked, “What causes the spine to breakdown, cause pain, and create subluxations and health problems? Is it every day wear and tear?”
The answer is there are 4 factors that cause our spines to breakdown and cause subluxations and health problems.
First is everyday wear and tear. Our everyday activity can make our spines unhealthy over time.
The second factor is the aging process. As we get older, our bodies naturally start to break down and deteriorate. We can fight the effects of aging by taking care of our bodies on a regular basis.
The third factor that causes our spines to become unhealthy and create health problems is stress. There are 3 different types of stress that affect the health of our spine and body: physical stress, chemical stress, and emotional stress.
Chiropractic adjustments have been scientifically proven to limit the damaging effects that stress has on the body.
Over 80% of our population experiences pain or health problems as a result of an unhealthy spine. The reason so many people suffer from subluxations and poor health is because most people don’t take care of their spine.
The fourth factor that causes our spines to break down and create health problems is neglect.
You wouldn’t expect your car to run optimally if you never serviced it and took good care of it, would you? The spine is no different.
Just like healthy teeth need a dentist, a healthy spine needs a chiropractor to maintain optimal health.
Word to the wise: you cannot have optimal health with an unhealthy spine. The quality of your health is largely determined by the health of your spine and nerve system.
Have a great day!
