If you do not understand what chiropractic really is, it is difficult to know when you should go to a chiropractor.  Do you wait until your back is killing you?  When you can’t get out of bed without excruciating pain in your back?  When you get a diagnosis of degenerative disc disease?  When you are in a car accident, or fall down the stairs?  Although all of these situations are absolutely times that you should go to the chiropractor, you should have gone to the chiropractor before things got this bad. 

Chiropractors love to say, “When is the best time to start chiropractic care?  The day you were born.  When is the next best time to start chiropractic care?  Today!” 

Chiropractic is about optimizing the brains communication with the rest of the body along the nervous system that runs inside the bones of the spine.  Better brain function is something that benefits everyone, all the time.  So despite how cheesy that saying by chiropractors is, it is completely true.  If you are alive, the best time to get your spine checked is as soon as possible so that your brain can start communicating with your body better, and you can start living life to your full potential!
