No one looks forward to getting older, especially since it seems to come with more aches and pains. But does it have to? Take a moment to learn more about one common area for pain — your back — and whether it’s a normal part of the aging process.
Drinking more water, eating nutritious foods and regular exercise produce even bigger dividends when you have a properly working nervous system.
Visiting the doctor when you’re feeling great is something new. Yet, a growing number of people who want to be and do their best are visiting chiropractors on a regular basis – to stay well, not just to take care of their back pain!
Remember staying home from school when we were sick and returning when we were feeling better? We learned to think of being sick as having obvious symptoms. But these days, many health problems are the result of lifestyle choices that don’t always have obvious symptoms until the effects are well advanced.
The reverse is true as well. If you eat improperly prepared food and find yourself vomiting to expel it, you probably won’t feel good, but you’re having a healthy response.
Turns out that true health is how well our bodies work, not how we feel.
How well our body functions is based upon the integrity of our nervous system. That’s why so many seek our practice for wellness care. They want to make sure that every organ and tissue has an uninterrupted nerve supply. It just makes sense to detect little problems before they become serious concerns.
True health is optimum physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Drinking more water, eating nutritious foods, regular exercise and virtually every other healthy habit produce even bigger dividends when you have a properly working nervous system.
Although everyone wants to feel good, your care should not be based on whether
you have pain or other symptoms. Problems may exist without obvious symptoms…just like dental cavities, high blood pressure or heart disease.
