Maximize Your Chiropractic Care

Back pain - the first thought many people have when they hear those words is, "chiropractor." That's true, but in addition to helping ease back pain, there are many other professional services a doctor of chiropractic can provide to help make health and wellness a lifetime endeavor. Advice and assistance related to nutrition, exercise, posture and weight loss are just a few of the ways chiropractors can help improve your health in addition to resolving your back pain:

Nutritional Advice: Dietary and nutritional supplements are an integral part of many chiropractic offices. Doctors of chiropractic realize that extra weight on your body adds to additional stresses on your spine. This additional weight makes you biomechanically more susceptible to injury and greater risk for health problems. Starting a weight loss program under the supervision of a healthcare professional has a greater likelihood of long-term success. Ask your doctor about nutritional supplements that may be helpful in reaching your intended goal.

Postural Support: Chiropractors are experts at analyzing posture and how it relates to spinal problems. They are trained in the art of detection, function, and restoration. A doctor of chiropractic searches for the problems that exist underneath poor posture and its effect on quality of life movement dysfunction. By analyzing spinal curvatures and alignment, your doctor searches for the problems that contribute to the postural pattern and develops a strategy of correction.

The Right Tools: Most chiropractors offer equipment that can help improve your quality of life and assist with activities of daily living, such as bending, lifting, twisting, exercising, sleeping, etc. For example, ask your chiropractor about purchasing spinal support belts to help when lifting objects or working on your feet for long hours. Orthotic foot supports are very prevalent in most chiropractic offices; this is a cost-effective way to help sore feet, achy muscles, and fatigued lower backs. Braces and wraps can be used for arm and leg problems such as knee and elbow pain. Most doctors also offer hot or cold packs for home use and topical analgesic pain relief lotions that are more effective than over-the-counter options. Make sure you ask your chiropractor about using some of these devices to maximize your progress.

Working hand-in-hand with your doctor of chiropractic is the perfect solution to help with your long-term health goals. Reach out and ask for their guidance; you'll be surprised at how pivotal a role they can play in maximizing your whole-body health.
