This could best be summed up as "from toothache to dental hygiene." Years ago a person only saw a dentist for care of a painful tooth or maybe a broken tooth. The dental profession has done well at educating us to try to prevent problems with our teeth through using proper dental hygiene (periodic exams, cleanings, home instructions, early treatment of potential problems). Just like dentistry, chiropractic has been educating patients to try to prevent illness. Chiropractors certainly see people with neuro-musculo-skeletal problems (neck pain, back pain, arthritis, etc). However, our focus must be preventing problems, maintaining proper structural balance, and trying to stay well. Therefore, our model of health care can be summed up as "from back ache to spinal hygiene."   You would want the following chiropractic spinal hygiene services available to you You would want the following chiropractic spinal hygiene services available to you: Examination and treatment of neuro-musculo-skeletal problem (neck pain, back pain, sciatica, disc problems, headaches, etc. Information to attempt to prevent re-occurrences of those problems through exercise, nutrition, other home instructions.
