Chronic is defined as any condition or pain that exists over an extended period of time, whether that be a few months, a few years or longer. Many people ignore this pain or treat it by dulling the pain with medication, which doesn't improve the medical issue - it just masks the symptoms.
Our bodies have the ability to adapt and through treatment the condition can be improved with specific combined therapies that are different for each person and their specific problems. The good news is improvements can be made both in the short and long run. By addressing the pain and working together on strengthening the body, we have found good improvement for most of our patients. The nice thing about the word chronic, is that it doesn't have to mean permanent.
| Chiropractic Medicine is about healing the body with it's own abilities as the improvements take place from the body undergoing changes that your body will adapt too. Painful tissue can heal overtime as the body is strengthened. |
By working with your body, and redirecting it in a way that brings life-long improvements, you can start feeling better soon. Some of our treatments include spinal decompression, therapeutic massage, stretching, spinal manipulation, ultrasound, Muscle stimulation therapy (IFC), heat, ice, exercise and diet. Don't let any of these scare you as they have been used by doctors and physical therapists for decades to help improve the overall condition of people's health. Before we do anything, we will insure you understand what it is we are recommending and we are in agreement with the plan we will work through in improving your condition.
If you are reading this for someone else, help them get the help they need to start feeling better today. Waiting is never going to make it feel better and the longer the wait, the more risk of the body adapting to the pain, creating more issues in the future.
