Even if you don't have a specific pain you can enter a health care program with your chiropractor. The health care phase strives to restore normal spinal contours, reduce chronic subluxations and produce stability in the spine.

Though many patients initially come to their chiropractor's office for pain relief, having regular spinal adjustments can change many other aspects of their health. Many find they simply feel better, have improved energy, sleep better, get sick less often, have fewer headaches and benefit from better digestion.

It is important to realize that it is better to keep one's health than to just treat the symptoms after the body's already is sick. Your body is a self-healing organism. The only thing a doctor can do is remove obstructions to healing. Your chiropractor does this by gently correcting misalignments in the spine allowing the nervous system to better adapt so your body can achieve optimal health.
