Looking After My Body Today Gives Me A Better Hope For Tomorrow

Guest blog from Dr. James Allen, director of Vitality Chiropractic AustraliaWhile many in society have the mentality of “if it isn’t broke then don’t fix it” there’s been an evident changing of the guard in recent years. This shift has seen a large emphasis placed on preventative medicine and natural wellbeing approaches such as Chiropractic, Massage, Acupuncture and other modalities that focus on your body functioning at its absolute best. This is very different to conventional medicine which focuses on treating symptoms when they arise.Australia has without doubt one the highest rates of Chiropractic treatment in the world, with local Chiropractor Dr. James Allen director of Vitality Chiropractic Australia.He says: “1 out of every 6 people, that’s almost 4 million regularly consult with a Chiropractor every year. People initially visit our clinic for back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica and sport injuries. Howevere, many families are now seeing Chiropractors as part of their overall health and wellbeing regime."Perhaps the reason behind this mentality shift is that families are beginning to recognize and be more aware of the importance of achieving health and wellbeing through Chiropractic care, proper nutritional principles, regular movement and exercise as well as positive thinking. Preventative or maintenance Chiropractic management fits perfectly in this regime by ensuring an individual’s spine and nervous system functions highly. While Chiropractic is great for improving posture, reducing pain and improving movement that’s only one aspect of how a practitioner can truly assist you.“We see that majority of our Chiropractic clients and their families visit our clinic on a regular basis. While care and frequency of it differs for everyone I would guess that the average would be an adjustment once every fortnight to a month," Dr James adds."As well as this, parents are learning how Chiropractic not only benefits them but can improve the health of their children, so we see many children in our clinic too.”
