The very popular question that comes into my office is when will I get better?
How long will this take? Or if you are a regular patient that may have injured your back in a similar way to the past or even a whole new problem.
There are many quick fix options out there to feel better. Usually by the time people reach our office they have tried ALL OF THEM and they still feel like they are exactly where they started or worse.
Neurostructural chiropractic is not a quick fix. It is a long term solution. We work on correcting any primary conditions in the spine and that makes it so you don’t have to deal with the same issues over and over again. It doesn’t take much to get out of pain but to keep it corrected is what our goals are for people to create a healthier self.
The answer to your question is going to be different for everyone. Everyone heals differently, some fast and some slower. The main point is that healing takes time. Be patient. Your body needs time to heal to get better.
There will always be times in our life that hinder our healing process, but as long as we keep moving forward, we will see the progress and how the hard work and time commitment that you give yourself has paid off.
Living a Healthy Lifestyle with Preventative Care
Preventative care is all about maintaining and taking care of your health. Your nervous system is so important as it plays a huge roll in keeping you healthy and feeling great! I can’t stress enough, it is so much easier to maintain the health of your spine rather than fix it later after months or even years of having an issue.
Most of the time, people wait to see if a problem will go away on its own, in the meantime degeneration in the spine is happening leading on the path of disease. Secondary Conditions or also called symptoms are the signs that something underneath isn’t working right. Don’t wait too long for it to create bigger issues!
“Chronic diseases are the leading cause of death and disability in the United States, causing 7 out of 10 deaths each year. Heart disease, cancer, and stroke alone cause more than 50% of all deaths each year. Chronic disease is taking over as the most expensive, most painful and frustrating health epidemic, and the answer from the medical world?”
Working on one area at a time will eventually lead to healthy lifestyle changes over time all of them will be in sync together!
