Maintenance is more cost effective than correcting problems. Read on to learn more... Why is it important to maintain your spine? Maintaining your spine is not only smart for your health, it is cost effective. Symptoms are not the gauge for subluxation correction. If Subluxations are not corrected, you will be merely managing a problem rather than maintaining the correction. Fundamentally, if you neglect anything that requires maintenance it will develop a problem. Problems develop silently until enough damage occurs to trigger a symptom or crisis. Unfortunately the crisis or symptom may not occur until a significantly or even permanent damage has occurred. Take your car as an example. If you never opened the hood of your car to maintain the engine, what would happen? A problem would develop of course. It would continue to develop until a crisis and symptoms occurred. In cars, we have warning light that tell us when we have problems so we can correct them before a crisis and symptoms occur. In the human body, there is no warning light. Problems develop silently until enough damage accumulates to fire off a symptom. Hearth disease is another good example. Eating high fat foods over time, is known to clog arteries. This problem is called heart disease. You do not feel the heart disease. You feel the heart attack when enough disease has accumulated. The heart attack is the symptom or effect of heart disease in a crisis stage. The symptom is the effect of the problem that accumulated over time. Many people go to a chiropractor to correct their back problem (subluxation) yet some do not maintain the corrected spine. That is like never opening the hood of your car again after you had to rebuild the engine because you did not maintain it to begin with! Or going back to high fat foods and no exercise after getting a heart attack and a coronary bypass! Start spinal maintenance with your children and maintain your spine throughout your life, so you can insure more optimum function and health potential. Your future will be spent doing the things you love to do rather than battling damage and degeneration.
