Fact: Joints depend on healthy movement to continue to be healthy. Without movement, joints become stagnant and lacking nutrition, will decay. When joints lacks nutrition and break down, it they do not move well, think like a rusty machine. When rusty machines are not asked to move, there are no symptoms or indication that they cannot move well. It is only when the function is tested that there is decreased motion noticed.

In the human body, chronic decay and inflammation is called arthritis or degenerative disease, aka the spine is aging faster than it should. Here’s the big idea: this lack of movement is RARELY painful until the limitation of the joint is met. As the joint degenerates, it is able to do LESS and LESS, its limit is lowered until eventually there is no function left. This is NOT normal with aging, although it is often thought to be so. This is why chiropractic care is 1000% necessary for every person who wants to have a healthy spine not just now but for the rest of their life. A healthy body is dependent on having a healthy spine… so here it is: for every single person whose health is a priority, they MUST have a healthy spine. Chiropractors are the only profession trained in adjusting and checking healthy movement and alignment of the spine.
