Health: Is there anything more important?
To make an appointment with one of our chiropractors, please call 965 200 005
Would it be fair to say that there is nothing more important than your health and the health of loved ones? Would it also be fair to say that both you and your loved ones knowingly engage in unhealthy behaviours and fail to engage in healthy ones?
Can we agree, in health terms, that an orange is better than a mars bar, exercise is better than no exercise and positive thoughts/ relationships are better than negative ones? I hope we unanimously agree. So why don’t we regularly choose health over bad habits?

The answer is not that we don’t understand what is healthier for us it’s just that we don’t fully appreciate the damaging effects of choosing unhealthy choices over healthy ones.
Ironically, there are things that we feed our children that we would not feed our dogs, for example, chocolate. If the dog gets sick then we might ask what it ate to make it sick. If a child gets sick we are more likely to ask what drug is required to “solve” the problem. Does this make sense?
It makes more sense to take responsibility for your health for a better chance to get and stay well. Are chronic problems, like late onset diabetes or long term low back pain, things that you suddenly catch or things that you develop as a result of long term lifestyle habits?
Let´s consider long term low back pain. Yes, it could have started as a result of an acute event such as a road traffic accident, but all too often patients tell us that their back pain suddenly appeared for no apparent reason. Could the pain have appeared as a result of a long term unhealthy lifestyle?
We specialise in helping people get healthy with a focus on their spine and lifestyle. If you have any questions about your health or the people around you then we are here to help.
