The Importance of Consistency

November 9, 2020 Posted in: ASK AN EXPERT

Consistency is always key, whether you are learning a new instrument or trying to master a recipe.

It doesn’t matter who your chiropractor is, where they are located, or how incredible they are at their craft, if you are not receiving adjustments with you need them, then you are not reaping all that chiropractic has to give you your care. This is absolutely no different than the gym or eating healthy; while engaging in these activities once is great, it is the consistency that actually provides the results.

Poor spinal health negatively impacts optimal nervous system function. Your nervous system is your body’s communication system and when this system is impeded in any way, your level of health, regardless of how you actually feel, is not as full and robust as it possibly could be. So to reap the benefits of optimal health, one must include optimal spinal health as a top priority.

Your body is a machine. You have certain behaviors and ways of doing things in your daily life that create certain patterns of wear and tear on that machine whether you are conscious of it or not. So as long as you keep living, your machine — in other words, your body — relentlessly deals with daily life stress. The chiropractic adjustment helps mitigate the stress and improve spinal health, thus fostering optimal nervous system function and communication. Like any machine, your body needs consistent tune-ups and maintenance to provide optimal function. So be consistent with your chiropractic adjustments.
