Many
people ask, "Why do I need to go to a chiropractor? My back doesn't
hurt." That is the biggest misconception about chiropractic.
People think they need to hurt before they require the assistance
of a chiropractor. PAIN is the LAST symptom you want to experience
before having a visit to a chiropractor's office. Why? Because
you did a lot of things to yourself before you experienced
pain and you are going to keep doing all the same things once
you
get out of pain even though the underlying cause will still
be there.
Are
you a laborer? Do you ranch? Do you sit at a desk all day
long? Are you pregnant? Then you should
consider seeing a chiropractor. 
Laborers
and ranchers use and abuse their bodies every day
on the job. I recommend
that people doing such need to come in once a month to keep
themselves healthy and pain free.
Receptionists and office workers don't use their bodies in the same way as ranchers
and laborers, but they still injure their bodies. Muscles between the shoulder
blades can go into spasm causing mid-back pain and neck tightness. Those muscle
spasms will pull on the vertebrae and ribs and cause subluxations. Subluxations
in turn can cause headaches, fatigue, brain fog, vision problems and many other
disorders. Wrists 
and
elbows also need to be adjusted even if wrist pads and supports are used to decrease
carpal tunnel syndrome. The motion is still the same and a quick check can prevent
any underlying causes.
Pregnant women generally develop low back pain and sciatica during pregnancy.
Chiropractors can help ease these pains and it will not harm the baby. As visits
to the obstetrician increase, also increase the visits to a chiropractor. The
hormones that relax your ligaments in your pelvis for delivery will relax all
the ligaments in your body making it hard for your body to hold adjustments.
