If I told you that I had not brushed my teeth for 15 years, you would be concerned about the state of my dental hygiene. You would know that I would need a lot of dental work,”
says Dr Jonathan Wilson (Chiropractor).
He often meets people who tell him they haven’t had problems with their spine for 5 or 10 years. By this, they mean they haven’t had their spines checked for this length of time or haven’t experienced pain. They often explain that in their daily lives, they do not move or exercise regularly and sometimes haven’t moved their spine through its full range of motion for as long as they can remember. What condition do you think their spine is in?
Regular Movement and Maintenance Are Key
Regular checks and maintenance are essential for any mechanical device to run properly; we are no exception. An absence of pain does not indicate good neurological or structural function.
From time to time, our practice sees clients who have missed a few adjustments. “I haven’t been for 2 months,” they say, but the records often show that the weeks have slipped, and it has been far longer.
For good spinal health, you need to undertake regular spinal movement (exercise) and have your spine checked regularly.
