Here's Why You Should Include Chiropractics Into Your Annual Check-Up

If you think chiropractic treatment is just for people with spine-related pain, think again. While chiropractic care can definitely treat back and neck pain (and all types of musculoskeletal issues), it can play an important role in overall health and wellness management, too.

At Kerinver Chiropractic, Josue Maysonet, DC, offers a full array of chiropractic care, focusing on treating existing symptoms while preventing future problems. In this post, learn six reasons to incorporate chiropractic care into your annual wellness routine.

1. Provides early detection

Trained  chiropractors detect and treat the root cause of health issues so they can be treated before they become more serious or cause complications. 

Many health issues are associated with your nerves and nerve pathways. That includes musculoskeletal concerns, as well as problems affecting digestion, sleep, and immune function. Chiropractors optimize wellness while improving long-term health by diagnosing and correcting underlying issues, including poor spinal alignment and nerve irritation.

2. Supports active lifestyles

Staying physically active throughout life is one of the most essential steps to ward off chronic ailments like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and heart disease. Regular chiropractic treatments ensure optimal musculoskeletal functioning for activity without pain or stiffness.

Having annual chiropractic visits also helps you perform better and prevent injuries. During your visit, Dr. Maysonet offers tips to improve posture and spinal alignment, along with holistic lifestyle guidance focused on supporting healthy habits.

3. Improves posture and spine health

Many of us spend hours every day hunched over our computer keyboard, laptops, and phones or performing other repetitive tasks, creating uneven strain on the spine and its nerves. No wonder millions of Americans suffer from chronic spine-related pain.

Over time, that uneven strain on your spine causes misalignments that lead to back pain, neck pain, and chronic headaches, along with impaired mobility. Annual chiropractic exams address underlying posture and alignment problems to balance muscle and joint strain that support a healthier, more comfortable lifestyle at home, work, and everywhere in between.

4. Enhances quality of life

Chiropractic care helps treat specific issues but is also great at improving your overall wellness and quality of life. By supporting normal nerve and musculoskeletal functioning, chiropractors help improve sleep, reduce stress, and increase your natural energy level. Regular check-ups set the stage for an improved quality of life, enabling you to feel your best.

5. Reduces the need for medication

In “traditional” medicine, the focus tends to be more on managing symptoms than treating the underlying cause. For many people, that means taking a significant amount of medication to keep those symptoms under control.

Chiropractors use spinal adjustment techniques, therapeutic massage, and other approaches to address underlying medical issues and relieve symptoms without relying on large doses of medication. By promoting your body’s ability to heal naturally, you can reduce your need for medicines and avoid potentially dangerous side effects.

6. Supports healthy aging

There’s no denying that aging takes a major toll on the human body, and without proper care, it can affect your health and wellness. Annual chiropractic check-ups keep track of those effects, performing preventive treatments aimed at reducing age-related issues like arthritis, balance problems, and chronic neck and back pain.

Dr. Maysonet is skilled in recommending age-appropriate activities and exercises to help keep joints flexible and muscles strong while also relieving stress and improving your quality of life at every age.
