Chiropractic Care and Prevention



By Michelle Caron


Prevention, or the action of stopping something before it happens, is considered ideal when it comes to your health. Chiropractors are leaders in utilizing and teaching preventative health techniques and in promoting good health.

Many preventative items are used daily. People wear sunscreen to prevent sunburn and the skin cancer that can be caused by sun damage. Helmets, seat belts and car seats are used to prevent injuries from car accidents and bike accidents. There are laws requiring the use of these items to ensure we follow safety precautions.

Preventative health choices are not enforced by laws. Illegal drugs, unfortunately, can be found in the United States; but it is legal to purchase cigarettes and alcohol, both of which are known to cause many diseases which would otherwise be preventable. Warning labels are required to warn customers of their potential health risks.

Many toxic substances are found in our food supply, but despite recent campaigns, no laws exist requiring these potentially harmful sustances be labeled in our food supply. These harmful substances include food colorings and food additives, many of which have been proven harmful to the human body. Super-sizing of sugary drinks, pesticides, GMO's and artificial sweeteners are a few of the potentially harmful choices found in our country's food supply.

Preventative care is covered under most health insurance plans. Yearly physicals for adults are recommended and routinely covered. This regular contact with a physician establishes the doctor/patient relationship, as well as allows the doctor to be aware of any changes in a patient's health. Dentist visits are generally scheduled every 6 months to prevent tooth decay.

After an accident or injury is typically when people think to visit their local chiropractor. It would be best to receive regular chiropractic care, which can prevent many diseases and injuries, keep the spine in proper alignment and boost the immune system.

There is not a set recommendation with preventative chiropractic care, like dental care, for example. Your activity level, overall health, nutritional intake and leisure activities play an important role in determining the number and types of preventative chiropractic visits that would best benefit you. In addition to spinal adjustments, acupuncture, exercise rehab, nutritional and wellness coaching, laser therapy and/or massage therapy may be recommended.

Workers in physically demanding jobs and athletes are among the people who could benefit from a chiropractic preventative treatment plan. Your body is better able to protect itself and heal faster after receiving regular chiropractic care. In the unfortunate event an injury or accident should occur, the preventative chiropractic care you received will speed up your recovery time. Your chiropractor can give you an individualized, preventative treatment plan after a brief health history.
