1 Wait and See
Although “Do Nothing Right Now” reflects a “save it for a rainy day”
attitude, most people understand that the problem will most likely get worse with time. Maybe the symptoms will go away, but the underlying problem still needs to be addressed. If you are unsure, please consult with me about your specific health condition.
2 Pain Relief/Patch Care
This type of care is designed for people who want to focus only on
relieving immediate symptoms. This is similar to taking non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)for low back pain. The pain may numb and temporarily go away, but the pain is typically an effect of an underlying cause. Ignoring the cause often leads to more serious problems. In the same way, pressure on the spine and the nervous system can alter physical and chemical structures, possibly leading to dysfunction and degeneration of the soft tissue, nerves, muscles,
ligaments, disc, and bone. The problem will most likely return again and again as we age, often becoming worse and chronic.
3 Corrective/Maintenance
Chiropractic care shines here and helps you get the most out of your body for the rest of your life. It goes beyond providing immediate pain relief. This care addresses the underlying cause of your problem. This level of care is similar to rehabilitation designed to bring about
stabilization, improved function, and healing. This process takes Time, Repetition, Energy, and Patience. Once your nervous system has started the healing process and functions closer to 100%, it pays you back many times over, saving thousands of dollars in the future. You may develop a stronger immune system, higher energy levels, better sleep patterns, clearer mental focus, and a higher quality of life. Who doesn't want a better quality of life?
