Living For Today

So many diseases that tax our so-called health care system are the result of long-term abuse or neglect. Lifestyle decisions produce obesity, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and many other common health problems. But because the heart attack or diabetes can take decades to appear, these issues are easy to overlook.

If getting on the elevator instead of taking the steps immediately resulted in a visible weight gain, you might be persuaded to make the healthier choice. If expressing anger, envy or grief instantly created a stomach ulcer or collapsed a lung, you'd be careful about expressing such unhealthy emotions.

But they don't. It can take years for even the earliest symptoms of these choices to show up. By the time obvious symptoms emerge, the problem can be well advanced.

"It won't happen to me," we lie to ourselves.

Yet, the damage is done. It's hardly perceptible. It's so incremental as to hardly matter. But it does matter. That's why some of our most health conscious practice members choose to see us on a regular, ongoing basis. Can chiropractic care reverse years of obvious abuse and neglect? Of course not. But periodic checkups can often catch problems before they become serious. Has it been a while since your last visit? Give us a call.
