Preventive treatment
Preventive treatment is what you expect from the dentist. Imagine not going to the dentist for 20 to 30 years. What would your teeth and gums look like? But when was the last time you had your back looked at? Unfortunately, too few people do this and many allow their backs to suffer a lifetime of neglect.
If your car wears out, you can buy a new one. If your washing machine doesn’t work any more, you can replace it. Even when your teeth start to rot, you can always acquire a set of new false teeth. If your back wears out however, what can you do?
Just compare your body to a car or building. Regular servicing is vital to a prolonged and healthier existence. The chiropractic approach to welfare is typical of this new and changing attitude to health. It is based on the concept of ‘health maintenance” rather than ‘disease treatment’. Chiropractic is based on the principle that the body is fully capable of maintaining its health, as long as it is given the right ingredients, namely water, rest, fresh air, the proper nutrition, and a properly functioning central nervous system
