What a lot of people don't know is that chiropractic is amazing for helping people prevent surgery in the first place for certain conditions. This is not only in regards to spinal conditions, but conditions anywhere in the body. Unfortunately, most people's first instinct is to visit their primary care doctor about an area that is in pain. The most common treatments these providers recommend are medication, physical therapy, rest, and surgery. Many of these treatments help temporarily with the symptom, but don't get down to the actual cause.
Chiropractic focuses on putting the body back into proper alignment allowing there to be less tension on the spinal cord and nerves. When the spinal cord and nerves are free of tension, your brain and body communication is improved, allowing you to function and heal optimally. This often causes many of the conditions you're feeling to go away. Not to mention chiropractic is one of the least invasive forms of healthcare out there. This means that it is extremely safe for most conditions and is less likely to leave you permanently impacted like surgery does.
However, if you've already undergone surgery, then chiropractic is a great way to allow your body to adapt to the "new you." There are several ways to adjust somebody post surgery to ensure you do not reinjure the surgical area. This allows you to feel better, move better, and function better even after surgery.
So if you are contemplating getting surgery, or are still suffering post surgery, then give us a call so we can help you out!
