Dr. Packer Asks some important questions of interest to Chesapeake residents - Chiropractor Chesapeake Dr. Packer Asks...

Will chiropractic adjustments make my spine too loose?
No. Only the spinal joints that are fixated and "locked up" receive attention. The occasional spinal joint that moves too much is passed over so weakened muscles and ligaments can strengthen and heal.
Would you rather feel good or be healthy?
Ask most people in Chesapeake and they want to feel good. Careful! Would you take medicine that makes you feel good, rather than vomit to expel improperly prepared food? Every chiropractic patient knows that you can't measure your health by how you feel. True health is when your body works as it should.

Lose Your Owners Manual?

Did you get one?

It’s truly amazing the different ways people value their health. In fact, it’s one of the things that make everyday practice so fascinating.

Each of us is given this amazing body. It’s self-healing. Self-regulating. And thankfully, takes care of millions of details all by itself without us having to give it any conscious thought. This “autopilot” feature of our bodies gets many of our patients into trouble. It prompts many to neglect some of the basic maintenance necessary for a long, trouble-free life.

If our bodies came with an Owners Manual, exercise, getting the proper rest, eating nutritious foods, drinking enough pure water would all be mentioned. Neglect any of these basics and your body warns you with hunger, thirst, lack of energy and other symptoms.

You might be surprised what else you’d find in your Owners Manual. Since your nervous system orchestrates everything, you’d also find mention of making sure your nervous system was vertebral subluxation complex-free. And that’s where we come in. That’s the primary purpose of chiropractic care.

Pain can be a compelling motivator to seek chiropractic care. However, it’s a lot like waiting until you’re starving to death to eat, or not drinking any water until your dehydrated and hallucinating!

That’s what creates the fascinating part: how to explain the ongoing benefits of regular chiropractic care, rather than waiting for obvious symptoms. If you have some ideas about how to effectively explain this idea, please let me know on your next visit, or email us using the link below.
