Do you wake up stiff and sore every morning, does it take you awhile to get going in the morning? Have you noticed that every morning you have to ease yourself out of bed slowly or you back flares up? Stiff, locked up, “stuck” joints in your back can make you feel much older than your really are. I’m here to tell you that spine health, and taking proactive steps can help alleviate some of these problems.
The picture explains it best, if you allow a joint to sit in one place for too long you develop “rust”, or words you probably have heard more often like arthritis, pain, numbness, loss of range of motion, and loss of function. That’s why routine 
maintenance visits to your chiropractor are essential for spine health and thriving through live. Chiropractic adjustments unlock “stuck joints” before you get pain, arthritis, disc bulges, headaches, low back pain, etc. If you wait too long between visits, sometimes more work may be required to “unlock” these joints and get them functioning the way they are supposed to.
The key is prevention, it’s much easier to keep a joint moving before the rust develops. Once you allow a joint to become arthritic with disc bulges, bones, spurs, and other nasty changes it takes a lot more work to get the joint moving properly. If you want to avoid the hassle, regular chiropractic visits will keep your spine moving, and functioning at a top notch rate and not letting them get bad in the first place.
This puts on in the driver seat and calling the shots in your life, it gives you the opportunity to use your body in the manner you see fit, and enjoy every second life has to offer. For more information on chiropractic services give us a call at (952)456-6611, your Shakopee chiropractor.
