The Foundation of Health

Every critical function in your body relies on the same foundation to operate properly – the central nervous system. Encased in your spinal column is your brain’s mode of communication with all the vital organs and cells in your body. A constant stream of billions of messages flows over this vast communication system to keep your body working correctly. When that line of communication is compromised, so is your health.

What might interfere with the messages sent from your brain down through the nervous system? Signals can be cut off because of pressure on the nerves from misaligned vertebrae in your spine, called subluxations. Depending on the severity of the pressure and the location of the subluxation, you may experience poor function in a certain area of your body (anything from difficulty breathing to reduced mobility), or you might experience complete failure of a vital organ. In order to maintain vibrant health, you must also maintain an aligned spine.

When you are misaligned, it brings dysfunction to the body’s systems. When you are aligned well, it brings wellness to every part of your body.

Spinal maintenance could be one of the most significant health investments you ever make. Fundamentally, if you neglect anything that requires maintenance, it will develop a problem. If you never take your car in for a tune-up, but continue to drive it, you may start to notice a strange sound or decreased performance, and eventually your car would quit functioning altogether. When the spine is not maintained, the lack of communication between the brain and the body causes a breakdown in normal tissue cells until enough abnormal cells have been formed to cause disease. In both cases, problems develop silently until enough damage occurs to trigger a symptom.

Most people wait until they experience symptoms, or even crisis, before seeking help, when simple maintenance could have prevented the suffering. Chiropractors are known for helping people who suffer from back or neck pain, but chiropractic care is so much more than that. It’s a plan to support wellness and prevent dis-ease just as much as aid in regaining lost health. If alignment is maintained, your body has a greater potential to heal and stay healthy.

Give your body the best chance at vitality by caring for the true foundation of your health – your spine. Come in and let our team at Livewell Family Chiropractic Center show you how simple it is.
