Wellness and Prevention Care

Wellness and Prevention Care

When a middle-aged businessman suffers his first heart attack, were there any existing problems with his cardiovascular system prior to his first actual experience of chest pain? A female homemaker enjoys playing tennis recreationally with neighborhood friends, but after years of enjoying this activity, she begins to experience back pain. What would you guess is the likelihood that her low back was structurally optimal prior to her experiencing back pain for the first time ever? A high school baseball pitcher begins to experience shoulder pain after competing at an elite level for three years. Were there functional shoulder problems present before he began to experience pain? A computer software expert begins to experience leg pain/sciatica after years of extended sitting in a cubicle.  Did this person's symptoms reflect an immediate problem or something that was progressing slowly but steadily over time?
 
I think you get the idea!  Even though the presence of pain is one of the primary reasons why patients seek the expertise of a health-care provider, pain is usually the last thing that surfaces, once the UNDERLYING CAUSE for the pain has been there for some time. This is important to understand, because by knowing this you have the ability to make proactive decisions about your health and lifestyle habits. Like one motivational speaker was once quoted as saying “even if you're wealthy, it doesn't do much good to hire someone else to do your push-ups for you”.  We know that dietary choices can have a significant influence on the likelihood for cardiovascular disease later in life.  We know that lack of exercise can influence one's predilection for hypertension.  From a chiropractic perspective, spinal wellness care can be a very critical choice for potentially reducing the likelihood for back and back-related disorders.  We understand and embrace the role that dentists play in providing preventive services for optimizing our dental hygiene. Take advantage of natural chiropractic care, proactively! Spinal adjustments can be performed to address a variety of clinical findings, even though there may be no symptoms at all, yet!
 
We know that there is an intelligent order to the universe.  This premise is based on physical evidence seen all around us.  To assume that the universe is operating without an intelligent plan is analogous to thinking that the Egyptian pyramids formed as a result of an accidental rock slide! For many chiropractors, innate intelligence is that intrinsic force that allows our bodies to heal itself.  The kind of care provided by a doctor of chiropractic influences this innate intelligence, helping to improve neurological integrity and health components associated with this integral life component. As Deepak Chopra*, M.D., stated “Intelligence is present everywhere in our bodies… our own inner intelligence is far superior to any we can try to substitute from the outside”.
