On-going Chiropractic Care Helps Patients Achieve Maximum Health
There are four levels of health and we will address 3 of them in this post.
Level 1 Health
The initial level is where most new patients are it. This is the reactive level.
This is where you are in some types of pain. You have an injury. Your body’s not working. There’s inflammation and it’s effecting some area of your life.
Your number one goal is to get out of pain! You want to know how to get relief of some type from a symptom.
That is shown as the red area on the ‘Road To Recovery’ picture. This typically is where patients start the initial phase of care here in the office. We focus on correcting the cause, getting your body working normally again, and you start to feel better.
That’s the best part about what we do! When you address the cause, the body starts functioning and healing better.
Now here’s the important thing to understand, a symptom, whether that’s pain or some other type of health symptom is typically the last thing to come on and one of the first things to go away and has very little to do with your health.
Once patients get to that first level, and they are feeling better, most people will stop doing all those good things that got them better and then their health goes down again and eventually you have that same problem or something else comes up or it’s worse and you’ve got to keep going through that pattern.
That’s the reactive symptom based model and that doesn’t work.
Level 2 Health
Now level two is people who have some type of health condition. They’re struggling with their health in some way whether that’s high blood pressure, diabetes, a digestive problem, and they want to get a solution for that.
These very same nerves that caused the pain you were experiencing also affect the function of organs and systems, and the more we reduce interference, the better your body heals.
So now you see those health issues start going away as your body keeps healing.
- Now your blood pressure is lower.
- You can drop that medication.
- Now you’re sleeping better.
- You have more energy.
- Your digestive system’s working better and you’re getting healthier.
Often, once people get to that level, they decide they always want to be like this, and they start to transition their mindset into a preventative, proactive type of approach to health. They keep doing all those things that got them well so that they can stay well on a preventative basis. These patients are progressive more towards the green on the picture.
Level 4 Health
The green is optimum health function. That is your body functioning and healing at its absolute best. Interference and subluxation free. That’s level four.
At level 4 you’re working to do everything you can to get your body to its optimum health position. So not only you can stay well and prevent issues, but you can experience your life at the absolute best.
This is our goal for every single patient that walks into the door. To help them reach their optimum health potential and have a lifetime of health and wellness, free of medications, free of pain, free of chronic health issues, living life the way that you deserve.
Getting on the Road to Lifetime Health and Wellness
If you want to experience that high level of health, if you’re struggling in any way, let’s get you checked and see where you are. And it’s okay if you’re down in the red zone, but over time, the goal is to get into the green zone and stay here for the rest of your life.
That’s why so many people choose to have lifetime chiropractic care.
