The 5 steps to better health:

1. Get adjusted: Adjustments are the precise techniques and procedures Chiropractors use to correct subluxations and improve the function of your spine and nervous system. The schedule of adjustments your chiropractor recommends is specifically designed to help you get the greatest improvements and long term benefits, as quickly as possible. When beginning Chiropractic care, adjustments are scheduled at a frequency to maximize their effect. Generally the longer subluxations have been present in your body and the more tension has been built up, the more the bones, ligaments, muscles and other tissues will have adapted, and the longer it will take to correct.
2. Eat well: Eat foods that are fresh, pure and as varied as possible. This will give your body all the nutrients and building blocks you need to heal and be as healthy as you can. Drink lots of water.
3. Rest: It can often take time to heal and repair damaged body tissues. Be gentle with you body and avoid activities that you find stressful or uncomfortable. Be particularly careful lifting heavy objects and try to reduce twisting stresses on your spine and pelvis.
4. Move: Without over doing it- try moving around as much as you can. This helps your muscles, ligaments, bones and joints to heal more quickly and complete. Your chiropractor will let you know if there are any particular movements or exercises they feel could help you and also ones to avoid.
5. Learn: Learn about your body, health and the healing process. People who understand more, improve more quickly and get greater long-term benefits. Ask questions. The more you understand about your health and healing the better.
