Hello,
Spinal hygiene or maintenance is paramount to health. You only get one spine so take care of it. Spinal manipulation has a multitude of benefits, not just pain relief. Spinal manipulation can also help the nervous system continue to function as optimal as possible. I received my first adjustment at 18 following a car collision. I only wish I had known the benefits prior to the collision.
I hope this helps.
