 Dr. James Asks some important questions of interest to Carmel Mountain residents - Chiropractor Carmel Mountain Dr. James Asks...

How do you know when you're healthy?
Ask most Carmel Mountain residents this simple question and you're likely to hear, "When you feel good" or "When you're at your proper weight for your height" or "When you have lots of energy and vitality." Great answers. But our chiropractic patients know that true health is when your body is working as it was designed. True health is how you function, not how you feel.
What happens if you stop chiropractic care when you feel better?
Many Carmel Mountain folks recognize that this predisposes you to a relapse. Chiropractors know that muscles and ligaments supporting the spine don't fully heal until after symptoms subside.
