IF I get adjusted once, do I have to continue?

Ask Your Chiropractor

HOW is that a bad thing? Anyone who has experienced chiropractic care would gladly get adjusted for the rest of their lives.

I’m not sure about you, but when I had my first haircut, I was never told that in order to keep my hair looking neat and well-kept, I would have to keep returning for haircuts for the rest of my life.

If you started to exercise today, for how many years would you need to continue exercising in order to maintain a good level of fitness?

If you started to eat healthy today, how long would you need to continue to eat well in order to maintain a healthy figure and healthy digestive system?

If you started thinking positive today, would you need to continue doing so in order to be an overall positive person?

If you slept for 24 hours one day, could you stay up for the next three days, and still feel great and be healthy?

Is it necessary to keep brushing and flossing your teeth for as long as you live? No. Unless you care to keep your teeth.

You can survive without ever bathing again, but, your life and the lives of those around you will be healthier and more amicable if you practice good hygiene on a regular ongoing basis for the rest of your life.

So, truly, the answer to this question must come from each individual’s decision on whether or not they feel it is an important part of their healthy lifestyle. That decision is ultimately up to you.

As a chiropractor, I make exactly the same recommendations to each of my patrons as I would to any member of my family. In order for you to be stronger and healthier, chiropractic adjustments are a regular part of your lifestyle. And, just like the other lifestyle choices I mentioned, the more consistent and committed you can be, the better the health outcome will be proportionately. I will be adjusting my daughter, my wife, and will be getting myself adjusted on a regular basis for the rest of our lives. I know that because of it, we will be healthier and stronger. It is up to you to decide what you want to do with my recommendations, and whether or not you choose to apply them to your own life.

It amazes me that people will spend thousands of dollars on something as material as a vehicle to upkeep its maintenance, but do not value their own bodies and lives equally (or more), to provide it with the essential preventative maintenance that it needs to function and produce for the rest of your life.

Your body provides you with things most people take for granted, on a daily basis. Just ask my patrons who were restricted to wheelchairs. Don’t you owe it to your body to maintain it the best way that you (and your chiropractor) possibly can?

You are only as healthy as your spine and nervous system. What spine would you like to have five years from now? Or 10 or 15 years from now? The choice is yours. Chiropractic care can help you achieve your short- and long-term goals.

You can live for weeks without food and days without water. What most people take for granted is that you will not live at all, for any amount of time, without your nervous system “alive and kicking”. And a gradual deterioration of your nervous system would be like slowly starving or dehydrating yourself. It is just a matter of time before function and life cease. Both the quantity and, more importantly, quality of your life depends ultimately on the state of your nervous system. It is high time that you decided to take better care of yours. Be proactive and see your chiropractor today, and continue to see them regularly, as well as indefinitely.

Amazing Health Benefits of Chiropractic | NY Chiropractor(s)

|

Thousands of NY residents aren’t living the life they once imagined. They are bogged down with pain, achy joints, headaches, health issues (such as asthma, acid reflux disease, high blood pressure, and allergies) and of course, constant tiredness and fatigue.

Most people find themselves skipping out on family vacations, plan their days or activities around their health issues, dread an active day out with their friends, or simply take part in coffee or soda binge-drinking just to make it through the day.

Others who choose to go the medical route are prescribed drugs to “manage their symptoms”. The problem with this scenario is that the source of disease and pain is left unaddressed, leading to larger, less-manageable health problems down the road.

Dangers of Masking or Ignoring Your Symptoms

When people ignore or mask their pain, fatigue or discomfort with medication or caffeine, they are essentially buying time for the problem to spread and get out of hand.

Let’s think about it this way: what will happen if you stick a Post-It note over the “Check Engine” light of your car, the next time it starts blinking? Would covering up the annoying orange light magically resolve a broken gasket or repair a torn hose? Would it magically put oil in your engine, gas in the tank, or air in the tires? Obviously not. If your car stops functioning due to neglect, you have the option of buying or leasing a new one. Unfortunately you can’t do the same with your body.

How Will Chiropractic Help?

As you know, the brain is responsible for every function in the human body. It sends nerve energy down the spine, and into every single limb and organ of your body, ensuing proper function (and healing).

Just like a garden hose, the spine can experience bends and kinks – that will diminish or disrupt the flow of nerve energy downstream. A misaligned vertebrae in the neck or upper back, can put excessive and dangerous pressure on the nerves that regulate thyroid function, your immune system, blood pressure, or breathing. Misalignment in the mid back, can lead to digestion problems (such as acid reflux disease), asthma, or shortness of breath – and the list continues…

The only logical way to remedy spinal misalignment, is to realign it back to health – thorough a specific and scientific spinal remodeling technique.

While most chiropractors focus on immediate pain relief, those focusing on Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP) will also rehabilitate and realign the spine back to health, allowing nerve energy to flow uninterrupted to the corresponding organs and limbs. Patients who have been under our care, not only see an immediate end to their pain and discomfort, but witness a life-changing transformation in their overall health and well-being.

What is Chiropractic BioPhysics?

CBP technique is one of the most researched, published, results-oriented, and scientific chiropractic techniques in the world. Only a small percentage of dedicated and highly educated chiropractors are certified in, and practice this technique – including the chiropractors at Advanced Family Chiropractic in Montour Falls, Hands On Chiropractic in Corning and Dr. Pace at Pace Family Chiropractic in Rochester.

Headed by Dr. Deed Harrison, the world’s preeminent expert in corrective chiropractic care and the president of CBP Techniques and Seminars, Advanced Family Chiropractic focuses on eliminating the source of back pain, neck pain, fatigue, headaches, and disease through advanced and cutting-edge Chiropractic BioPhysics® technique.

How Will I Know if My Spine is Misaligned?

Pain is often the last indication that something is wrong, so unfortunately most people with spinal misalignment can’t pinpoint the source of their health issues – until our team of experienced chiropractors perform a thorough examination, take digital x-rays, and use postural analysis software to pinpoint the source of the problem.

Chances are that if you’ve ever been a car accident, fallen off of a bike as a kid, played sports, work behind a computer, or have poor postural habits, that you have spinal misalignment.
