My name is Daniel Prince and I’m a Doctor of Chiropractic here at the Albuquerque offices of Gonstead Family Chiropractic. This time, I’m answering the question: “I’m a little sore but not really in pain, should I call you?”
Of course you should. Not only that, you should call and stop by to see your chiropractor even when you feel no soreness at all. A lack of soreness does not indicate that you are operating at your absolute best and oftentimes, when you finally feel pain you may have spent a considerable amount of time out of alignment. Watch this video were we discussed briefly the relationship between pain and a healthy spine.
One of the greatest challenges that we face as chiropractor is helping our patients understand the need for ongoing maintenance of our spinal column. So often, patients come into the office and say things like “I’m not sure what’s wrong, I simply don’t feel quite right.” They then ask if they have a problem. Generally, if you’re not feeling the way you normally do and believe you should feel, then yes you probably do have an issue that needs to be addressed. Far better to wait until that time, when a problem they have been festering quite a while, is to schedule regular chiropractic adjustments to make sure that you maintain optimal health. After all, we truly believe you deserve to feel great.
