Dear Practice Member,
Patients often ask me what they can do to speed their recovery and
enhance the healing process. Here are some ideas:
1. Proper rest. A good night's sleep gives your
body time to heal. Use a supportive mattress and a pillow that promotes
proper neck curve. Sleep on your back or side. cervical
pillow.
2. Better diet. Make sure your body has the best
raw materials to heal muscles and soft tissues. While good nutrition
is always important, it's doubly important now.
3. Kept appointments. Our recommendations for you
come from the experience of helping others with similar conditions.
Follow your visit schedule for the best results.
4. Moderate exercise. A program of walking or swimming
can improve over all muscle tone. If your are unsure what stretches
and exercises you should do, just ask.
5. Correct lifting. Lift with your knees and keep
your back straight. Correct sitting and good posture is important.
Consider using a small pillow to help maintain proper spinal curves
when at work or in your car.
6. Tell others. Interestingly, patient who tell
others about their chiropractic experience seen to get well faster.
Telling others can reinforce your commitment and remind you of the
simple truths of the chiropractic approach to better health.
Healing takes time. Between what we do at the office and what you
do at home, the road to recovery looks promising.
