Your spine is a marvel of engineering with curves that distribute the load for long-lasting support and flexibility.

The Romans and ancient builders knew the power of the arch was so strong that they used it in many of their structures which have all lasted for millennia.

The curves in our spine can do the same for us as long as we take care of them and don’t let the stresses of daily life take away the proper curves. Time doesn’t age us if we don’t let it, but disuse or misuse will make us older faster than our chronological years would suggest.

The proper curves in our spine allow the nerves to send signals quickly and clearly, proper flexibility of the spine and muscles of the body, and keep the pressure off our discs which are the spacers and shock absorbers for our spine.

When we start to lose the curves, the signals slow down and we start to feel sluggish and unwell. We begin to lose our flexibility and make noise with simple movements, and our discs are more prone to herniation or bulging which can be debilitating for some and devastating for others.

We don’t realize how much take the small things for granted until we can’t do them, like getting dressed or using the toilet with ease. However, the good news is that we don’t have to wait to lose mobility to take care of our spine.

Chiropractic is effective and safe for the care and treatment of spinal curves!

The treatments we do in our office have been proven to restore the curves to the spine allowing for slower degeneration, more mobility, safer lifting, and overall better quality of life for all ages.

Sounds too good to be true but it really does happen.

Some of our patients in their 80s are moving better than those we are just meeting in their 30s because the older patients have been proactive with their care and know that a strong spine, healthy nervous system, and flexible body is how they bulletproof their low back for an active and happy life.

The sooner you start working on your back the better your later years will be.

Just like the ancient structures had great planning to create lasting monuments, we too can plan for a lasting spine and beautiful, pain-free years to come.

Chiropractic care focuses on healing the body naturally, holistically, and without the use of medication from the inside out. If you need help getting out of pain, schedule an appointment today!
