When people think of chiropractic care, they think of pain relief. Chiropractic care is so much more than that. Preventive healthcare is an important part of what your chiropractor has to offer. Dr. Alicia Calease of Calease Chiropractic Center in Waverly, IA can give you the treatments and tools that you need to improve your health.
Chiropractic adjustment
A chiropractic adjustment involves the slight movement of the joints in the body and spine to get them back into alignment. It is used to help relieve pain, but it is also a preventive healthcare procedure. When spinal adjustment is done as part of a maintenance routine, it can help you find and maintain the optimum level of health. You are less likely to suffer from many of the things that can make your daily life less than optimal.
Dietary advice
While most people think of chiropractic care as just involving spinal adjustments, there is much more to the practice. Helping every member of the family live the healthiest life that they can is the ultimate goal of chiropractic care. Having a spine that is in alignment is the first step. Making sure that you are feeding your body what it needs to maintain good health is another. As part of your evaluation, your chiropractor will discuss the areas of your health that are concerning to you and make suggestions about how you can make improvements.
Therapeutic exercise
Therapeutic exercise is used to help with mobility and flexibility. It also helps to build up strength after an injury or surgery. It helps to get the body back to where it used to be and, in some cases, to an even better place. Therapeutic exercise is something that you can continue to do at home as a preventive measure to reduce your risk of being injured again. It usually involves stretches and some strength training and, if needed, balance exercises.
