Chiropractic is for the entire family and serves many more important purposes than simply neck and low back pain. Although treating disorders of the musculoskeletal system is a mainstay in our profession, the most beneficial purpose of our care is to aid in proper communication between the brain and body and from the body to the brain. The spinal cord, which carries important information is protected by the bones of the spine and any misalignment can negatively affect the communication system and ultimately the body’s ability to coordinate function or what we call health. As a result, a multitude of conditions and symptoms can arise. Individuals with such conditions have a greater capacity to heal when the body is communicating properly. Chiropractic is for everybody under any circumstance, however the best and most logical way to use chiropractic would be to schedule regular check-ups to be sure the body is always working at its best. A check-up as soon after birth as possible is optimal.
