Part II – All Chiropractic Offices are not the Same

How Often Should I visit my Chiropractor?

We are continuing our series of the more commonly asked questions regarding chiropractic care. For more specific answers; visit a chiropractic office to meet the chiropracters and hear first-hand what they would recommend for your unique situation and health. As you visit with the chiropractor, you will be able to affirm how you relate to his or her type of treatment. As stated previously, it is wise to find a chiropractor to take care of little issues for you before they become more urgent.

• I'm not Sick. Should I see a Chiropractor?

Yes. Symptoms are not a good way to judge health. They may not be apparent until they surface after years of body malfunction.

• How often should I get a Spinal Adjustment?

The answer is "as soon as you develop subluxations." A subluxation is like a dental cavity—you may have it for a long time before symptoms appear. Since subluxations are often painless, it's good to get your spine checked periodically, just as you get your teeth checked periodically for "painless" cavities.

• Can spines automatically go back in place?

Yes. An "accidental adjustment" could take place. Occasionally, a good night's sleep can correct a subluxation. Also, many types of therapy, including massage and body work, can reduce musculoskeletal stress, sometimes permitting the spine to automatically realign, as will a cathartic emotional release. However, a visit to the chiropracter is a lot safer.

• Can chiropractic prevent back surgery?

In a majority of cases, the answer is a resounding, "Yes!"

Exercise Advice from Family Chiropractors: Get your move on!

Most people know that they should be exercising regularly. Many family chiropractors are concerned that a lot of families they see have not exercised for so long that they don't know where to begin. As a result, they start and stop various training programs and routines; they join gyms, buy workout clothes and spend their hard-earned income. Ultimately, they fail to keep it up because they don't have a clear idea of how to exercise effectively. Their entire family loses out on the benefits of exercise.

One problem is that there are so many forms of exercise to choose from. A person can lift weights, swim, ride a bicycle, run, take Pilates classes, yoga classes, or play tennis. The challenge is selecting the form of exercise that's best for you and your family, and then having the specific knowledge to begin training in a way that it will be beneficial and not harmful.

If you're starting an exercise program after an extended period of time, it's actually easy to hurt yourself. Doing too much too soon is a typical cause of an exercise-related injury. Another major cause is doing the wrong type of exercise for your level of preparation. For those people who really didn't want to exercise in the first place, getting hurt after a few days or weeks of their new program makes it easy to quit and never go back.

If you're concerned about the long-term health and well-being of yourself and your family, regular vigorous exercise is critical to maintain their overall health and wellness.

Family chiropractors offer two solutions:

• Walking can be a Family Event

The solution, at least in the initial phases of returning to fitness, is walking. It avoids many of the problems associated with other forms of exercise. Walking is low-impact, requires minimal equipment, and no expensive gym memberships are needed. And, it generally takes place outside in fresh air and sunshine, providing additional benefits beyond the exercise alone.

• Family Chiropractic Care

Set up a family maintenance program so that each member can receive the benefits of chiropractic care on a regular basis, not for the treatment of sickness, but to maintain the integrity of the nervous system by keeping the spine flexible and the body in control of the movements of its own vertebrae. This enables the body to adjust and re-adjust the positions of those vertebrae as it needs to.
