It’s not just about neck and back pain. It’s not just for after a car accident. It’s not just for adults. Chiropractic care makes it possible to better handle daily stresses by removing nervous system interference to help you be the healthiest you can be. And starting that process before the spine is fully mature can make a world of difference for lifetime wellness.

In this episode, Dr. Dan and Dr. Riley discuss the importance of chiropractic care before spinal maturity and the progression of subluxation across different age groups. They emphasize that misconceptions often lead people to question why children need chiropractic care and share some specific cases that illustrate just what early intervention can do for the health of a developing spine. The doctors discussed three phases of subluxation progression across a person’s lifetime, highlight modern concerns about technology use and offer suggestions of different ways to combat the impact of screen time on the spine.

Chiropractic care can be broken down into 3 distinct phases;where you are in your health journey and where you want to be are key factors in what phase of care applies to you!

In this episode, Dr. Dan and Dr. Riley discuss the threephases of chiropractic care, known as the three C's: Condition, Corrective, and Conscious Care. The doctors share that many patients begin in the condition phase, seeking relief from acute pain or discomfort. Those who come in primarily for pain relief, often caught in a cycle of temporary solutions. That shifts their discussion to corrective care as they highlight the fact that many acute conditions showing up as pain often have underlying chronic issues visible through x-rays, potentially stemming from childhood injuries or long-term postural problems. Finally, the doctors dive into Conscious Care whichcenters around keeping the progress you’ve made in the Correction phase of care so that you can enjoy your highest level of health, healing and adaptation. If you’ve ever been curious about how chiropractic care could fit into yourwellness routine, this episode will answer some of those questions.
