People are driven to chiropractors because they are motivated by a crisis in their life. A severe episode of neck pain, back pain, sciatica, or scoliosis – those are the type of situations that usually motivate people to come to a chiropractor, says Dr. Gregg D. Rubinstein, a chiropractor at 57th Street Chiropractic in New York City.
Rubinstein says that his office, however, is a wellness-based practice where he tries to teach people that you should not wait until your spine is in pain before you do anything about it. Why would you wait for enough pain and discomfort to motivate you? Why are you waiting for the crisis? You don’t do that with your teeth. You don’t do that with your car. You don’t say, “Gee, I will wait until my engine seizes and then I will change my oil!” It does not make any sense. You need to start caring for your spine from when you are a very young child.
What we need to do is educate the public to the fact that what we do is much more akin to dentistry -– that is we are a preventative practice. WE are not about waiting until there is enough pain and discomfort which forces you to say “OK, now I need to take care of my spine.” You need to take care of your spine throughout the course of your lifetime and keep it in good condition so you remain healthy.
