Your Care

 

Follow These Guidelines

We rarely think about our health until it interferes with our lives in some way. Then, our goal is to get well as quickly as possible! Achieving optimum chiropractic results depends upon a unique partnership between you and your Chiropractor  . Your Chiropractor   will use years of training and experience to locate and help correct spinal malfunction. It is in your interest to follow some simple suggestions to create the best possible circumstances for a more complete healing and recovery.
This teamwork approach depends upon you taking responsibility for your health and following these highly-effective guidelines

Keep Your Appointments

Your care schedule is based on the experience of thousands of chiropractors with millions of patients. Just as you can't expect to get in shape by working out just once or twice, you can't expect meaningful changes to your health with just a few chiropractic visits!
Each treatment builds on the one before. Missing or postponing visits can interfere with the "retraining" of your spine hence restricting you from reaching optimum function. The best way to receive the excellent results is to keep your appointments

Eat The Right Foods

Proper nutrition is especially important. Increase your intake of raw fruits and vegetables and water!
Avoid processed foods that are robbed of their vitamins and minerals. Make sure your body has the nutrients it needs to heal the muscles and soft tissues that support your spine.

Get Adequate Rest

When combined with regular chiropractic adjustments, adequate rest can help heal and regenerate your body.
The latest research indicates that patients with spinal problems should avoid extended bed rest. You need adequate sleep each night but, it's important that the time you spend resting doesn't make your problem worse. Therefore, sleep on a mattress that offers firm support, lying on your back or your side. Make sure your pillow provides good support. Too thick or thin and it can distort the curve in your neck.

Exercise Moderately

The rehabilitation of your spine also depends upon proper muscle tone.
Swimming, brisk walking, or other aerobic exercise can increase your metabolism and help maximize the healing process. Your treatment will entail some stretches or exercises that can help strengthen the muscles that support your spine. Take it easy at first, and slowly build your endurance.
Performing these simple routines can aid the speed of your recovery. It's an inexpensive way for you to assist your Chiropractor   and optimize your results

Give It Time

If you cover up symptoms with a pill, you might expect the "fast relief" like the advertisements promise on television. But, your chiropractic treatments are attempting to correct the underlying cause(s) of your problem. That takes time.

During Your Recovery

Be sure to ask questions along the way, so you understand every aspect of your chiropractic care. Tell others, so they can support your decision and help you follow your Chiropractor  ’s recommendations. Finally, when you're feeling better, consider a schedule of preventive chiropractic care to maintain your progress and help avoid a relapse
