Okay I get it chiropractic can affect every cell in my body. But how can I actually tell? Fair enough, so let’s take a look at what kind of changes most patients experience or can expect with CONSISTENT & REGULAR chiropractic care. Results may vary based on the starting point of an individual’s health, but with that said here are some things we CAN measure. You can check these things after each adjustment, weekly or monthly.

 

• Range of motion of your neck, rib cage and low back. (you should notice better, pain free motion)
• Posture (use your own camera/phone to take a pre & post picture)
• Ability to breathe (use your own camera/phone to take a pre & post video)
• Blood pressure (measure after each adjustment, long term as well)
• Energy level
• Getting a good night’s sleep (length of time you sleep & more restful)
• Pain level (this includes reoccurrence of pain)
• Diet changes (changing your awareness of health often motivates patients to make healthier choices)
• Weight changes (changing your awareness of health often motivates patients to make healthier choices)
• Exercise habits (changing your awareness of health often motivates patients to make healthier choices)
• Fewer colds (as the immune system functions at a higher level, you should get sick less often)
• Fewer headaches
• Decrease need for pharmaceutical drug
• Overall just feel better!

 

And this is why chiropractor’s want to get adjusted, even when they have not pain!
