Maintenance. Schmaintenance.

Over the next few months I have chosen to start an “Ask the Doctor” segment of the blog. Each post will include a new question that I often hear and will provide a simple answer. If you have any questions you wish to ask, please send it via the Contact Us section.

“Why should I maintain my spine?”

Maintenance is a crucial key in every aspect of your life. Whether it is your car, house, lawn, teeth, or hair, maintaining each of these will allow you to get the best possible results. Your spine is no different, but sadly is often one of the most neglected.

One of the main reasons that regular spinal checks are a good idea is to address misalignment before it becomes a major problem. It is much easier to adjust a joint that has been misaligned for a couple of days as opposed to one that has been out of place for decades. Much like seeing your dentist every few months gives you the best shot at good dental health, seeing your chiropractor regularly to have your spine examined gives you the best shot at good overall health.

If you have any questions about chiropractic maintenance care or what a good program would look like for you, please stop by Ruehle Family Chiropractic at 3215 Gordon Drive or call (712) 224-3949.
