Tips to Speed Your Healing
Patients
often ask me what they can do to speed their recovery and enhance the healing
process. Here are some ideas:
- Proper rest. A good night's sleep gives your body time to heal. Use a supportive mattress and a pillow that promotes proper neck curve. Sleep on your back or side.
- Better diet. Make sure your body has the best raw materials to heal muscles and soft tissues. While good nutrition is always important, it's doubly important now.
- Keep appointments. Our recommendations for you come from the experience of helping others with similar conditions. Follow your visit schedule for the best results.
- Moderate exercise. A regular program of walking or swimming can improve over all muscle tone. If you're unsure what stretches and exercises you should do, just ask.
- Correct lifting. Lift with your knees and keep your back straight. Correct sitting and good posture is important. Consider using a small pillow to help maintain proper spinal curves when at work or in your car.
- Tell others. Interestingly, patients who tell others about their chiropractic experience seem to get well faster. Telling others can reinforce your commitment and remind you of the simple truths of the chiropractic approach to better health.
Healing takes time. Between what we do at the office and what you do at home, the road to recovery looks promising.
