A strong, flexible spine used correctly is your best bet for enjoying a long, healthy active life.
For many people this is an achievable goal without needing to see a chiropractor. Here's what it takes:
1. Luck - to be born with great genes and no congenital structural problems. 2. More luck! So there's no history of sports, work, auto or other injury. 3. No repetitive stress either from work (sitting at a desk, driving a truck, swinging a hammer) or play (sitting and knitting, driving a golf ball or swinging a tennis racket). 4. A disposition suited to deny emotional stress the opportunity of creating habitual muscle tension and poor posture. 5. Proper nutrition aka delicious healthful food to properly nourish every part of your body and mind.
Now, with the above as a foundation, you can develop a strong,flexible spine with regular exercise and daily stretching. An educational program such as BackSafe or SittingSafe will teach you all you need to use your strong, flexible spine correctly. Do all this, and you'll most likely never need a chiropractor, and you should be blessed with an abundance of good health and vitality! I
