emphasizes the importance of proper safety

Men more frequently tend to ignore pain and
put off seeing a doctor even when things seem
a bit off. Whether it is to not show any signs
of weakness or it’s the survivor mentality
ingrained in them to work past the pain, it is
not healthy to ignore the pain. Pain is in fact
the body’s way of saying something is wrong;
it is similar to a “check engine light” for a car.
Pain or injury in men can prevent them from
fully enjoying life, and desired activities and
hobbies like weight lifting, golf or other
recreational sports, and even just playing
with their kids. Even some problems like
incontinence are treatable with chiropractic
care and technique by alleviating pressure
off the nerves of the lower lumbar and
spine. Ergonomics is very influential in the
treatment plan for men and women alike,
with a focus on form in physical activities and
making sure that there are not daily triggers
that provoke pain or interfering with the
healing process. That is why communication
is so important to the treatment plan.
There are over 6 million auto accidents a year
in the US, with 3 million of them resulting
in bodily injury, and over 2 million of those
ending up with a permanent injury. For this
reason, chiropractic care is in high demand.
Timing is critical for auto accidents for a
couple reasons; primarily that the sooner you
begin treating an injury, the sooner and easier
you will recover. Secondly, with PIP insurance
you only have 14 days to claim injury from
an auto accident. Upon arrival at Advanced
Spinal Care, you will receive a comprehensive
neurological exam, history analysis, and
images from an integrative digital x-ray unit.
