Is Your Chiropractor a Mechanic?

Gravity is a constant force on the body if we like it or not. Every day that you get out of bed, the pull of gravity is acting as a stressor on your body. It pulls on the joints, the ligaments, the muscles, tendons, organs…every part of your body. As we get a little older this stress starts to take its toll on the body, especially the joints. One name that we put on the consequences of this stress is arthritis.

As we get into our later years it is important to give our bodies a fighting chance against gravity. One way we can do this is to maintain proper alignment in the bones and joints of our spine. Improper alignment or poor mobility (like not being able to turn your head) can create pain, weakness and even instability in the body.

In my practice I see many “Baby Boomers” who waited until it was too late to take care of a “gravitational” problem. In the absence of too much degeneration I help my patients achieve proper alignment and mobility in their body so they can live life the way it was meant to, pain free!

Think about the body like a car for a moment. When the alignment of your wheels become “misaligned” it begin to put wear and tear on your tires right? The same is true for the human body. If your spine is “misaligned” it puts wear and tear on YOU! You way to see if this is going on in your body is to look at your wheelsI mean your shoes. All joking aside, your shoes act much like wheels on your car. They provide a rubber barrier between you and the ground. Looking at the bottom of your shoes, is there any wear on one side or the other of your shoe? Wear and tear in a shoe should be equal from side to side, and any imbalance in this wear can mean imbalance in your spine.

Did you find wear on the bottom of your shoe? If you did then you are a prime candidate to be evaluated by your Bellevue chiropractor to asses for “misalignment”.
