Every time I get up from my routine maintenance adjustments, Doc Lowe says “ready for another 100 miles”. It usually passes right by me without much notice. I’m thinking about my next appointment, my next to do, or how to solve a problem I’m dealing with. But every once in a while this simple little phrase catches my attention. I dwell on it for a moment and I often wonder- why don’t more people come to the Chiropractor for normal routine adjustments.

Sure when we first came a couple years back it was because we had a red light in the instrument panel. For me it was my neck. It locked up on me and I couldn’t turn my head without turning my shoulders. I had a golf trip scheduled and paid for and needed a remedy. I’ve always been into natural health and wellness, so I didn’t need persuasion that Chiropractic was good for me. But still today I realize it’s no different than flossing my teeth, exercising, stretching or supplementing my diet. I don’t do those things once and forget about them. I realize that by doing them on a routine basis I focus on wellness and prevention, versus just reacting when something feels bad. Sure pain is a fine time to make your first appointment, no argument there. But why not make Chiropractic a part of your overall wellness routine after the pain goes away.

I want to always hear Doc say, “ready for another 100 miles”. Because I always feel like it when I leave.
