At Marc Bony Chiropractic Center in Matar\u00f3, we believe in the importance of ongoing chiropractic care. Chiropractic not only relieves symptoms, but also optimizes long-term natural health.<\/p>\n

Why maintenance and preventive chiropractic care?<\/span><\/h1>\n

Doubts that may arise when an intensive stage of chiropractic care is over and improvement has been evident.<\/p>\n

The person may think that he\/she has been cured because the symptoms have subsided and he\/she does not need maintenance, or when the person has no symptoms, he\/she believes that he\/she is healthy and does not need prevention without a check-up...<\/p>\n

Maintenance and Prevention Arguments<\/span><\/h2>\n

At the 10th Annual Vertebral Subluxation Research Conference in Hayward, California, a well-referenced and well-known paper was presented that explains why the doctor of chiropractic suggests that after the intensive period is over to continue maintenance care, sometimes called wellness care, after your initial spinal problems have been corrected.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The document defines maintenance care as dealing with patients who have no chief complaint, and have had their spine checked for vertebral subluxations. They have been adjusted to maintain adequate function and optimal health.<\/p>\n

What the research says<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Dr. Lisa K. Bloom<\/a>, researcher and associate professor at New York Chiropractic College, says there are two concepts that, if well understood, provide a good rationale for chiropractic maintenance care and prevention.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The first is the concept of Degeneration<\/a> Immobilization (ID). One of the major components of the vertebral subluxation complex is decreased motion of the vertebral joint. Dr. Bloom points out that 40 years of research tells us that when a joint loses normal motion, degeneration begins in an average of one week.<\/p>\n

The second concept according to Dr. Bloom says that we must understand that a subluxation can exist in a patient without symptoms. When a subluxation occurs, the misalignment of the joint often does not produce enough pain, for a long enough period of time to reach the areas of the brain responsible for pain detection.<\/p>\n

Here are two good reasons for lifetime chiropractic maintenance or wellness care.<\/p>\n

One, the degeneration of a subluxation starts to show up within a week. How long do you want to wait to correct it?<\/p>\n

Two, many times patients do not feel pain immediately when a subluxation occurs, just as you do not feel immediate pain from a cavity in a tooth.<\/p>\n

Pain may not appear until degeneration causes a great deal of damage and disease appears. Once again,<\/p>\n

How long do you want to wait for a check-up?<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n

Chiropractors are deeply concerned with making sure your body can function at its best and stay as healthy as possible for as long as possible. That's why they recommend regular spinal checkups for everyone throughout life.<\/p>\n

Why a lifetime?<\/p>\n
