Cape Girardeau’s Best Chiropractor Helping Families Elevate Their Health Through A Natural Chiropractic Lifestyle

Philosophy | Function | Fuel | Fitness

With built-in routines to keep yourself well and realistic plans to get there, you can achieve your goals. The choices and decisions we face and our resulting behaviors matter. We seek to change the health not just of the individual but of our entire community.

Sickness and suffering have become commonplace in today’s world, and our health care system is looking dismal. By teaching you something different, asking questions and getting to the root of problems for a permanent transformation, we have the privilege of playing a profound role in your and your family’s lives.

Guiding you to a more vibrant life is also about providing you with resources. We hold events, seminars and do community outreach to make sure that people are getting the information they need, which we welcome you and your family to attend.

When those patients that have been dealing with a problem for years or decades start to function (and feel) better, one of the things almost every one of them says is, “I wish I would have found you guys earlier.” Not only could they have avoided unnecessary suffering, but if they’d come in earlier a chiropractor may have been able to help them more. You see, matter has limitations. When you experience a trauma, like a car accident, your body changes. If a chiropractor is able to treat you right away, it’s much more likely you’ll get back to your pre-injury status because the changes haven’t set in yet. The longer you wait, the more those changes become permanent. Scar tissue builds up, the way you move changes, nerves can be damaged and more. If we get to you a long time after that accident, there is a good chance we can get you feeling better but there is a certain amount of function that will never come back. If you aren’t able to function at 100%, you will be more susceptible to injuries going forward.

Your body doesn’t want you to be in pain forever so it starts to adapt if an injury isn’t treated. For example, if you have knee pain in your right knee, your body may start to favor that knee and avoid putting as much weight on it when you walk. That changes the way you walk, which puts stress on your lower back. It also can cause your other knee to bear more weight, so if the problem isn’t addressed you can end up with two bad knees. The body’s ability to adapt is powerful, but those adaptations are meant to be short term solutions. A lot of times when our bodies adapt it allows us to feel better even as the function decreases. If those adaptations are left to set in, eventually the pain or other symptoms will return.

When those patients I mentioned earlier wish they’d found us sooner it’s because they realize how much time, energy, and money has been wasted over the years dealing with symptoms. I implore you to not wait to get checked out, because waiting very rarely helps. It will only help to hide the underlying problem and can create other compensatory issues as well as turning the original injury into a chronic one. The last thing you want is to have a feeling of regret that you should have taken care of something sooner. When dealing with a chronic health problem, I think of it like planting a tree. They say the best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, but the second best time is now. So don’t delay any longer. Schedule your appointment with one of our amazing Doctors today!
