Many people love to get an adjustment from their Chiropractor. An adjustment makes you feel good, fast, and for all the men lying about their height on dating apps, it may make you look taller for a bit. This is because it helps to improve your posture as well as helps relieve tension and stress in your problem areas. Going to your chiropractor can help increase your range of motion for your joints, decrease some of the pain you may be feeling and decrease muscle tension. All of these are wonderful benefits! But, they need a long term partner to make sure the pain stays away for longer periods of time. That partner is Physical Therapy!
Physical Therapy Focuses on the long term. When we hear the term “Physical Therapy,” we tend to think of someone in exercise shorts and a polo shirt, telling you to firmly push on their hand with your toes or other small exercises. Well, that’s where we are all wrong! Physical Therapy can, absolutely, be the small exercises that work on your joints or muscles that need rehabilitation, but Physical Therapists use other strategies that focus on building strength and growth in muscles and stabilizing joints. Other Strategies include: Electrical Muscle Stimulation, Dry Needling, Heat and Therapeutic Ultrasounds. Physical therapy Can help recover from injury and more importantly, it can help prevent it from happening again.
So why is it so helpful to combine these two? Well, They are a one two punch of wellness. First Punch, go get an adjustment and alleviate some of the pain you’re currently feeling and then throw your second punch, get some physical therapy to help prevent that pain from coming back. It’s like going into a mechanic. Your car will have some lights come on needing attention now, but it also will have oil changes and tire rotations. When you combine these two your car will run well for much longer. So come in and tell Dr. Stubbs the weird noises your body is making when you stand up, and have Dr. Hansen Rotate the tires.
