A White Plains & Stamford Chiropractor comments:

Many times when people visit my White Plains or Stamford chiropractic office, they are surprised when I tell them that it will take more than one visit to help them fully recover. After a chiropractor adjusts you, often you feel that the pain has been immediately relieved and you can't see the need for another appointment.  Inevitably though, once the person gets back into the daily routine that caused the back pain, neck pain, or headache in the first place, they come back into the office for another adjustment.  The important thing to realize is that it took you years of bad postural habits to get to this point and we need to train your body to maintain the proper alignment that it once had.  There are also instances when people have been injured in an auto accident or work accident & have a workers compensation claim. These instances require multiple visits to ensure that long term damage to your body is minimalized.

When discussing ongoing chiropractic care, I like to use the example of taking care of your teeth.  We care for our teeth everyday by brushing, flossing, and visiting the dentist for regular check ups. Why is it that people don't think to give the same care to their body and spine?  Chiropractic care is not only great for pain relief and pain management, it also has a multitude of other benefits. For instance, increased range of motion in your limbs allows you to participate in activities that you enjoy such as tennis or skiing. Because you are able to enjoy those activities, you will be in a better mood, thus alleviating stress and improving your overall wellness and quality of life.  Those kinds of rewards don't come in pill form that traditional doctors depend on. Continuing care from your local White Plains or Stamford chiropractor will ensure that your body can function at its peak performance and that you can lead the life you love.

If it's been a while since you've visited my White Plains or Stamford chiropractic office, give me a call to set up an appointment.  I'll be glad to see you and you'll be surprised at how good you'll feel when you leave the office. I look forward to seeing you!

Many of us have heard our friends or family talk about their physical therapy, but not everyone knows exactly what it really is and how it can benefit you.  I'd like to help clear that up for you today by explaining how physical therapy can help with your pain management and pain relief.

What is Physical Therapy?

Physical therapy is the practice of helping to restore regular movement and functionality to the body, whether it has been damaged due to a sports, auto, or work injury. Physical therapy is most times used in conjunction with chiropractic adjustments that assist in the restoration of your body's natural alignment. Techniques that may be used by the physical therapist include soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization, and strain-counter strain, which all have the aim of restoring your natural range of motion.

When Would You Need Physical Therapy?

If you have been injured in an auto accident or at work and have been pursuing a workers compensation claim, you may be a great candidate for physical therapy.  If you suffer from chronic pain from a previous injury, physical therapy may also be able to help with your pain management.  Your chiropractor or a medical doctor will be able to recommend the best treatment for your specific injury. If you are located in the Stamford, Ct or White Plains, NY areas, both of my chiropractic offices are equipped with state of the art physical therapy equipment to help get you on the road to recovery as quickly as possible.
