“Our mission here at The Joint is to improve the quality of
life through routine and affordable chiropractic care”. We do this by focusing
on maintaining and/or restoring proper motion and position of joints. Research does show that if any joint in the
body is restricted in its normal function and range of motion, it will
degenerate. Degenerative Joint Disease
(DJD) is rampant in the United
States . Much due to the way we live our
lives and neglect taking care of our health by maintaining the single most
important system of our bodies, our joints and nerves. Affordable chiropractic care is one step that
individuals can take to prevent back and neck pain from persisting.
There are certain positions and natural curves in the spine
that are absolutely essential in maintaining good health. When we lose these
essential curve and range of motion the body starts the degenerative and
compensation patterns almost immediately. Our bodies have built in compensation
mechanisms to try to heal, correct and support us even in bad posture and
unsafe movements. With preventative and
affordable chiropractic care, patients can maintain their natural curves and
prevent pain from the onset.
How do we lose these vital curves that create such
compensation patterns? Simply, bad posture and neglect are the most common.
Then we throw in a few injuries that we just let the body “heal” and hope all
is ok. The problem with most degenerative conditions is they are painless in
the beginning. We go along thinking that if we can’t “feel” a problem then
there must not be one. Then over time the pain and aching begins, we can’t
figure out what happened to our body, why we are suffering from aches and pains
with no apparent cause? We rationalize the condition, “It must just be part of
getting old”. However, degenerative joint disease is NOT an age related
disease; it is a loss of normal motion and position disease. With the help of affordable chiropractic
care, The Joint helps restore balance to their patients, before pain even
begins.
Patients seeking affordable chiropractic care at our offices
are quite surprised and curious to see small children being treated. They often
ask “why would you need to treat an infant or child”? Well, if you understand
the birth process and how the baby is forced, and often pulled, from the birth
canal, then you can see how the spine is easily traumatized, twisted and
stretched out of normal position. This starts that compensation pattern we
referred to; the one that ultimately leads to Degenerative Joint Disease and
back pain. The infant or child then starts to exhibit symptoms like; colic,
asthma, headaches, sleep disorders and so on.
Many patients seeking affordable chiropractic care have let
these compensation patterns, poor posture, and injuries, “self-heal” for far
too long, thus, when they come in for treatment they need to go through a
rehabilitative, correction for a time before we can get them to a wellness or
maintenance phase. The way we sit at work or at home on the sofa or working on
the computer, our sleeping positions, bad mattress or pillow, etc all add up to
poor joint function and ultimately lead to Degenerative Joint Disease.
Our goal is to help people prevent problems and Degenerative
Joint Disease from occurring by get preventative and affordable chiropractic
care. We are teaching young people this is far better than to do what we were
taught when we were young; wait until the crisis occurs
then get treatment. Affordable
chiropractic care is one of the best preventative measures for optimum health.
