How Ongoing Chiropractic Care Can Improve Your Quality of Life

A San Antonio Chiropractor comments: 

Frequently in my San Antonio chiropractic office, I am asked, "Why do I need to come in for so many chiropractic adjustments? Can't I just get one and be cured?"  Chiropractors would love to have those kinds of powers, but there is more at work here than meets the eye.  

If you are suffering from back pain, headache, or neck pain, it didn't just happen over night.  Sitting hunched in your office chair for 8 hours a day or falling asleep sitting up in your favorite recliner for years had a lot to do with the pain you are experiencing now. You've essentially spent years training your body to be mis-aligned and chiropractors have to help you un-train your body back into proper alignment.  

There are also cases of patients who healed improperly from a previous injury that need assistance with pain management. As a San Antonio pain management doctor, I often recommend massage therapy as a compliment to chiropractic adjustments in order to relieve muscle tension that may have built up from years of mis-alignment. The overall goal is to provide relief from neck pain, back pain, headache and any other symptoms that may be present.

So how can all of this lead to an improved quality of life? Well, with regular chiropractic adjustments and massage, your body begins to gain the natural range of motion of your limbs and joints. When this natural range of motion is restored, you can participate in the activities that bring joy to your life such as biking, playing with the kids, snowboarding, etc. When you have the ability to do the things you love, this adds happiness to your life and reduces tension and stress. Less stress promotes a healthy immune system and an elevated mood.  You just can't take a pill for all of those benefits.

So, if it's been a while since I've seen you, call my San Antonio Chiropractic office today at (210) 239-9131 for an appointment.  I look forward to seeing you!
