Can I Speed the Healing Process?
 

While there are not any short cuts to speed your body’s natural healing process, there is a lot you can do to give yourself the best chance of a quick recovery.

Learn proper sitting and lifting methods. Specific exercises may be suggested to help retrain the muscles that support your spine.
 

Proper rest is an important aspect of the healing process, too. Get the appropriate amount of rest your body needs and avoid sleeping on your stomach.

During the healing process, proper nutrition is more important than ever. Make sure you eat balanced meals, and if you are overweight, now would be a good time to slim down and reduce unnecessary stress to your spine.
 

Perhaps most important of all, keep your appointments and follow your chiropractor’s recommendations for optimum results.

 

Am I Too Old for Chiropractic Care?
 

More and more people are contacting chiropractic doctors, especially in their later years. With growing concerns about over-medication and the side effects of combining various prescription drugs, safe and natural chiropractic care is growing in popularity.
 

Restoring better spinal function can help improve mobility, vitality, endurance, and appetite. Many patients report improvements with arthritic symptoms and other chronic ailments often associated with the aging process. The adjusting technique used by your doctor will be modified for maximum comfort and results. As we get older and wiser, the simplicity and effectiveness of chiropractic care becomes more than obvious.

 

How Long Will I Need Chiropractic Care?
 

Spinal problems neglected since early childhood, may require ongoing supportive care for optimum spinal function. These long standing problems are often associated with muscle weakness, soft tissue damage, and degenerative changes to the spine.
 

Most patients find that periodic chiropractic checkups help them in tip-top shape. Those who are active, or have stressful jobs, or want to be in their best health, find that a schedule of preventive visits are helpful in the maintenance of good health.
 

Some patients seek chiropractic care only when their ache or pain become unbearable. While this style of “crisis management” is usually more costly, and time consuming, our office stands ready to help all patients, regardless of their health goals. How long you decide to benefit from chiropractic care is always up to you.
