The choices people make to acquire and maintain their well-being represent the extent to which people value the freedom that comes with a healthy life. That passion amplifies even more when it comes to the future of children and families. Reactive health care after someone becomes sick or debilitated costs a fortune in money, time, and emotional turmoil. However, major demographic shift continues to evolve individual and family ideology towards proactive health care.  As a result, we see an emergence of chiropractic care.  People want to invest in health care which improves health, prevents degeneration, and promotes an overall health.  This leads to an improvement of function and well-being.  It is prevention, rather than waiting to treat symptoms after the body begins to face disease and sickness.

Most health insurances focus more on sick care than health care.

Sick care kicks in after a sickness, symptoms, or disease begins to attack the body. Health care focuses on proactively taking care of the body so that problems, symptoms, or diseases never arrive. Chiropractic falls into both categories but provides the unique ability to proactively improve the body’s health and function while preventing degeneration. This is achieved by restoring spinal alignment, movement, and nervous system function.

An old adage declares that a healthy person has thousands of goals, dreams, and aspirations.  However, a person plagued by sickness or disease carries only one. A person’s precious health deserves to be cared for and maintained. People often take major steps of preventative care for automobiles, homes, and even their teeth.  Unfortunately, they overlook the body’s critical need for spine and nervous system care. General maintenance ensures maximized function.

The benefits of chiropractic care go far beyond pain relief.

Symptoms seemingly unrelated to the spine improve through Chiropractic care due to the spine’s relationship with the central nervous system. One of the great benefits of a Chiropractic plan for health care stems from the body’s ability to resolve pain without the need for drugs and powerful pain killers.  Chiropractic care also improves overall organ and system function to prevent future problems from occurring.

Studies continue to show the people who utilize Chiropractic care experience better overall health than those who did not. The results of recent research completed in 2018 proved that patients who receive consistent Chiropractic care after an initial treatment plan experience greater relief, lower pain reports, and a reduction in the risk of disability.

Chiropractic science involves so much more than simple pain relief.

Spine and nervous system care help maximize function, improve mobility.  As a result, it reduces the risks of further pain and degeneration. Understanding that health serves as one of life’s greatest assets goes hand in hand with engaging in preventative health care. Optimal health involves powerful and effective communication between structure and function within the body. Chiropractic adjustments improve the health of the spine to ensure better function. Chiropractic care approaches the root of pain and disease at the source. This is achieved by creating an environment where the body is free to flourish, heal, and approach the future with healthy resiliency.  A plan for lifetime wellness care for the entire family begins with Chiropractic.

Chiropractic takes time to work. Lots of it. Short term pain relief of an hour or two or even a couple of days comes quickly. Changing your posture, changing your spine’s ability to move, changing your muscle health and structure take time. Months in fact. All muscles have memory and your body wants to go back to its old patterns instead of creating new healthy ones. That is why adjustments need to be repeated again and again. Your body is learning new patterns of mobility and until the new ones can take over for the old ones, the changes from adjustments will be short-lived.

What can you do to help yourself? Keep your appointments. If we can’t touch you, we can’t affect any change. Unfortunately, we can’t give you an adjustment in a pill form for you to take home. I need to see you in my office to change anything. Your adjustment schedule, while inconvenient at times, is really important to keep. If you miss one out of three appointments each week, you are only getting 65% of the treatment I recommend. If it doesn’t work–that’s the number one reason.

Secondly-Be active. Your body wasn’t made to sit all day. Too many people spend most of their day at work sitting. What do they do when they get home? Sit more. Get out and move. Families lives are focused on kids sports and activities. If sports are so important for them, why aren’t they for you as an adult? Everyone needs to have some sort of exercise they do on a regular basis to stay healthy.

Third–Stretch. If I haven’t given you stretches in my office, ask me for a couple. Or better yet, check out amazing sources like Google and YouTube for all sorts of stretching tips, pictures or videos. Or, best yet, take up yoga. How can you go wrong with a full hour of stretching? I recommend hot yoga or ashtanga yoga or gentle yoga versus vinyasa/power yoga. It will be gentler on your body and more geared toward stretching and lengthening your muscles, not building your athleticism.  But the main take-home here is we need to be more active and exercise often.

If you have been doing all these things and not getting the results you want, talk to your doctor. We may be missing something or there may be a simple addition to your treatment plan or a slightly different adjustment technique that will give you better results.  Once the problem has been stabilized and you are feeling good, why would you want to stop?  Everything that is good for you takes continued use and consistency.  If you go to the dentist and receive a great check-up, the work is not done.  You have to continue to brush and floss every day.  If you worked hard for 6 months and lost 40 pounds, you have to keep up your new and improved healthy lifestyle.  If you revert back to the habits that got you to that point, you’ll tend to regress back to where you started.  You get my point right?  Our bodies are in a constant state of change and repair.  We must choose to make good decisions on a daily basis and that includes consistent chiropractic care.  If you neglect the health of your spine and continue with the stress that brought on your issues, you will be right back where you started in due time.  When that happens, Dr. Ring will be waiting with open arms and while he wants to say it, you will never hear him say “I told you so.”
