chiropractor near me for wellness care

Feeling sick should not be the first indicator for you to come into the St. Augustine chiropractic clinic. Far too many people are waiting until they are sick to reach out to a clinic. The belief that health is supposed to decline while we age is unnecessary and should not be accepted. With current technology, and the fact that the healthcare field is constantly advancing and growing, living a completely healthy life should be expected. Despite common opinion, it is also possible to get healthier with age. This article is intended to expose you to some of the most common beliefs about health and showcase how chiropractic care at Ancient City Chiropractic is essential to your wellness care plan.


How Lifestyle Affects Overall Wellness in St. Augustine

Our lifestyles and daily tasks are capable of shaping our bodies and can lead to problems down the road even if no symptoms have presented themselves. Your diet, posture, occupation and much more are all capable of impacting your long-term health and wellness. For example, individuals working at a desk all day can shape their body based on how they sit. The way you hold your head or place your arms can affect your whole body in the future.

The reason behind these potential long term effects on your health is due to the spinal column. The nerve bundles that are responsible for sending all the messages to the other parts of our body are located in this column. There are many negative effects associated with misaligned vertebrae, and simple acts such as holding in emotions can cause issues within the body. If we are holding in our emotions and tensing our shoulders from stress, we are capable of causing damage to the spine and rest of body. It then becomes clear that despite no sensation of being sick or injured, it is still essential to be careful in order to ensure our lifestyles are not going to cause possible severe problems.


Why We Need Wellness Care

Bad health is not always associated with feelings of being sick or in pain. Health is defined as the proper functioning of the body. Although you may not feel anything today, there could still be a loss of potential if the nervous sending is not efficiently sending messages to the other parts of the body. Wellness care programs that focus on the spine allow people to have more energy and also build up their immune system. A nervous system operating at its full potential opens up many doors for an individual's health and with a spine that is properly aligned, many bodily functions will benefit. Improved functions can include, but are not limited to: digestion, the flow of blood, skin tone, overall movement, lung capacity and heartbeat.
