The holidays are coming to an end, and with them, the period of relaxation and freedom. Now, it’s time to return to obligations, schedules, and routines
To face these changes and stay in shape, a chiropractor check-up is an excellent option. The extensive training that Doctors of Chiropractic undergoes allows them to perform a chiropractic diagnosis and treat all types of conditions related to the spine, nervous system, and joints. Poor posture is one of the main causes of spinal misalignment, especially in people who spend a lot of time in front of a computer, driving, or lifting weights improperly.
Prolonged incorrect posture subjects joint structures to unnecessary stress, increasing the risk of misalignment and, consequently, premature and painful wear. This wear, in turn, promotes premature joint friction, damaging the hyaline cartilage that covers the bony surfaces of the joints, which is designed to allow smooth and frictionless movement
It’s important to note that in many cases, the cartilage covering the femur and hip can wear down silently over the years due to constant abnormal friction, without the person feeling any pain. This can lead to the need for hip surgery in the long term. Just like with the spine, the progression of this joint wear can be prevented with proper chiropractic intervention, which helps stop this degenerative process, promoting better pelvic balance and protecting the cartilage from additional premature wear.
A Doctor of Chiropractic manually and gently adjusts vertebral, joint displacements, and spinal subluxations without causing any pain, using American-made electrohydraulic tables that adapt to each specific age and case. This process relieves the pressure that the vertebra exerts on the nerve, which causes pain, and also helps to stop joint and/or cartilage wear
Joint Flexibility
Chiropractic adjustments are essential not only to prevent wear and loss of elasticity in intervertebral movement but also to promote joint flexibility. This improves the body’s ability to absorb impacts, move efficiently now, and continue to do so for years to come.
Maintaining a well-aligned and healthy spine is key to an active, pain-free life, allowing us to face daily challenges with greater energy and well-being, in a lasting and consistent way throughout life.
