Our bodies are like scrapbooks, we hold on to the events in our lives for better or for worse.  The obvious way to develop musculo-skeletal pain is through trauma, but there are many different types of trauma.

Motor vehicle accidents are becoming all to common in this day and age.  Collisions in cars can lead to major bodily harm; concussions, whiplash, herniated discs, and trauma to the rib cage from seatbelts or airbags are just some of the end results of auto accidents.  Be prepared for the possibility of an auto accident, make sure you and your loved ones have med pay insurance. 

Sports injuries, whether from competitive athletics or from weekend-warrior type activities, can lead to the need for chiropractic care.  Has pain kept you off the golf course, basketball court, or football field.  Or are you just looking to improve your game by optimizing your body's biomechanics?  Chiropractic care is used by many elite athletes to prevent injury and maximize performance.

Postural stresses and repetitive motions can also be a cumulative type of trauma to your body.  Do you sit typing at a computer all day, does your job require you to sit or stand in the same place for hours at a time?  Does your job mean performing the same movements over and over everyday?  Does your pain get worse at the end of the day?  If left unchecked, repetitive motions and postural stresses can be just as damaging to the spine as an acute trauma like a car accident.  Chiropractic can help!
