Bottom Line:

In this day and age, almost everyone has at least heard of chiropractic. Yet, many are still unaware of the services we provide and conditions we are able treat. 

 

Also, there a many specialties throughout the chiropractic profession which can allow for more options to finding the best care for you. At ProMove we pride ourselves on helping everyone move better and remain pain free in order to obtain longevity in your activities. Often times people under value the simple task we do every day that can become burdensome if in pain. These include: starting the shower, mowing, get in/out of car, walking, climbing stairs, grocery shopping, holding a child, opening a door, grabbing a glass from the cabinet, driving, etc……..as you can see the list of these activities goes on and on. 

 

Outside of these basic activities of daily living we also have the extracurricular events such as sports, lifting weights, riding bikes, golfing, running, etc. 

 

Don’t feel alone if you are unaware of the care chiropractors provide and how we can help you with all the activities listed above and more! If you have not been referred to a chiropractic by your primary care physician, you may have never sought one out or looked into it. Continue reading to see how chiropractic can help you. 

 

However, it’s just this past decade that most healthcare professionals and leading healthcare organizations have started actively recommending chiropractic care for a wide array of reasons. It has become more and more recognized that a conservative approach to care based around normalizing motion, strengthening, and education can improve most conditions if a very efficient manner. This being cost and time efficient…….not to mention more attainable long-term patient satisfaction and less likely to have pain return. 

 

Why it Matters:

Chiropractic has been around for over 125 years.

Over 15% of the population has received care from a chiropractor.

Chiropractic care is primarily used in two distinct ways: 

1.  Proactively 

2. Reactively

 

Reactive care is simply going to see a chiropractor when something hurts. 

 

The most common conditions that people reactively seek chiropractic care for are low back pain, neck pain, and headaches. Although we are also well versed in the management of muscle strains, joint sprains, and shoulder, hip, knee, and foot pain. 

 

However, proactive chiropractic care is also very valuable. If not more valuable than reactive care, proactive care allows us to avoid pain in the first place! In my mind the less pain we encounter in our lives the better.  

Chiropractors are highly trained in movement and biomechanics, and periodic visits to a chiropractor give you the chance to identify, evaluate, and take care of any emerging health issues before they become a big deal. 

 

As mentioned last week, Dr. Sealey is certified in the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) as well as Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA), which are both great systems that have been developed to identify limitations in movement, the reason for the limitation, and how to correct it. 

 

Next Steps: 

If you want to live a long and happy life there a few things we certainly need to include into our lives to assure this happens. A few very important ones are proper movement, exercise, balanced diet, and positive mindset toward life. All things we strive to help you improve at ProMove.

 

Millions of people around the world choose their chiropractor to help guide their health and well-being.
