I had a patient ask me this morning about hip replacements. She is 70 years old. Her friends are all concerned about needing hip replacements and talk about problems with sciatica. She wondered if she should be doing something to avoid these conditions. I told her the good news that she already is doing something! She comes for regular chiropractic care.
The body is like a car. It functions better when it is in alignment. When a car’s wheels are out of alignment, the tires will wear unevenly. You can drive the car that way, but certain parts will wear out more quickly and eventually you will be more likely to get a flat.
When our body is out of alignment, the stress on certain joints is increased- these joints will suffer more wear and tear than they should. With network chiropractic care, we help you to become more aware of your body and make corrections to your own alignment so that postural stresses are properly dispersed and not targeting specific joints to weaken them, causing pain and deterioration down the road.
Make sure you keep your body “tuned up” with Network care, keep checking the “tire pressure” with SRI, and join us at our Posture Workshop on November 18 to learn exercises you can do to maintain your alignment.
