Amazing how many people think a simple machine like the bicycle needs maintenance, but a complex organism like the human body --especially skeletal alignment that affects the nervous system -- should work forever, regardless of activity. Astounding.
Invalid comparison; the maintenance you're doing on your bicycle is for new issues and problems, not the same old problem reasserting itself (and fwiw, I've had experiences with medical practitioners where a problem got fixed, period, over and done...not where I had to keep coming back every few weeks and shelling out more money to get the problem "adjusted").
