Does chiropractic care prevent medical conditions?

Think about these questions first:

  • Does brushing your teeth prevent cavities?
  • Does exercise prevent heart conditions?
  • Does nutrition prevent the common cold?
The prevention of something is the act of stopping something from happening. Our bodies are forever changing, and predicting or preventing an act from occurring in an unknown environment can only be a guess at best. Now think about the same questions listed above, but like this:
  • Does chiropractic care allow the body to function at its optimal potential?
  • Does brushing your teeth allow optimal oral hygiene?
  • Does exercise allow optimal physical and mental health?
  • Does nutrition allow optimal body chemistry?
Regular lifestyle habits allows the opportunity for optimal benefits to occur. After every chiropractic adjustment, the body is functioning better and expressing innate intelligence. Change your question and you’ll get a more logical answer.
