Preventative care is all about maintaining and taking care of your health. Your nervous system is so important as it plays a huge roll in keeping you healthy and feeling great! I can’t stress enough, it is so much easier to maintain the health of your spine rather than fix it later after months or even years of having an issue.
Most of the time, people wait to see if a problem will go away on its own, in the meantime degeneration in the spine is happening leading on the path of disease. Secondary Conditions or also called symptoms are the signs that something underneath isn’t working right. Don’t wait too long for it to create bigger issues!
“Chronic diseases are the leading cause of death and disability in the United States, causing 7 out of 10 deaths each year. Heart disease, cancer, and stroke alone cause more than 50% of all deaths each year. Chronic disease is taking over as the most expensive, most painful and frustrating health epidemic, and the answer from the medical world?”
Working on one area at a time will eventually lead to healthy lifestyle changes over time all of them will be in sync together!
- Are you drinking enough water?
- Do you get good quality sleep every night?
- Are you eating nutritious foods? Are you taking quality supplements?
- Do you have a stress reliever routine that works for you?
- Do you buy products that are better for your body?
- Do you get protection care adjustments?
