Just because you don’t have pain now, doesn’t mean that everything in your body is functioning optimally. You may very well have joints that aren’t moving properly or latent trigger points that could be limiting your range of motion or function. Each part (joint) of the spine is responsible for a certain degree of motion, which allows you to move (rotate, bend forward and backward etc.). When there are joints in the spine that aren’t moving the way they should, the other joints in the spine have to “pick up the slack” (because the movement has to come from somewhere!), and have to move a little bit more, creating an imbalance. Too much movement causes unnecessary wear and stress on the joints, while too little movement causes stagnation of joint fluids and improper lubrication of joints, both of which can lead to premature degeneration.
In short, you should see a chiropractor to maximize your human potential and to prevent premature degeneration of your joints!
