I dont have any pains in my back, why do I need to have spinal checkups?
Spinal disease, such as degenerative disc disease and osteoarthntis, can progress slowly for decades without any noticeable symptoms One of the primary causes of these disease processes is spinal Joint fixation When segments of the 24 movable vertebra of the human spine become hypomobile, (moving less than normal), or fixated, they are often undetectable by the person as having a problem These spinal dysfunctions can be easily discovered by a chiropractor and taken care of before they cause permanent damage. Thus a simple check up can detect and correct thesefairly common and simple problems before they produce very serious spinal disease.
