Rehab and the Chiropractic Lifestyle
Active care for a more complete recovery.
Without some form of active care or rehabilitation, recovery from an injury or a long-standing spinal
problem can take longer to achieve. Overlooking the importance of improved range of motion and
muscle strengthening can resulting a relapse, with your original health problem returning again and
again.
Chiropractic rehabilitation involves the restoration of proper joint function of the spine or extremities, and
the strengthening of supporting muscles and soft tissues. This will usually involve specific spinal
adjustments, combined with a program of stretching, resistance training, and exercise to improve
muscles tone.
Some patients receive a set of simple exercises or "maneuvers" they can do at home. Other types of
injuries will require the use of specialized equipment to isolate and strengthen specific areas of the spine.
Ask your chiropractic doctor for ways you can speed the healing process and strengthen the supporting
soft tissues of your spine through appropriate rehabilitation.
Strengthen muscles and soft tissues.
When muscles, tendons, or ligaments of the spine are damaged through work injuries, automobile
collisions, overexertion, repetitive motion, or simply weakened by inactivity, your overall health can be
affected.
With out the proper tone in the muscles, tendons, and ligaments of your body, you would collapse like a
rag doll.
Strengthening the muscles that support
your spine can speed the healing
process and help avoid a relapse.
Many simple resistance exercises
can be done at home to
strengthen supportive muscles.
Patients enjoy seeing and feeling their progress!
