Common Factors That Affect the Speed of Your Recovery

Part of understanding your pain or trauma is naturally wanting to know how long it will take for the pain to subside and your recovery to begin. Based on the misalignment of your spine, your physical condition, and other personal factors, your chiropractor will develop a customized treatment plan just for you.

In addition to engaging in chiropractic care, there are several other elements that will factor into your recovery timeline. Speak with your chiropractor on how the following factors may affect how your body will heal:

• Age: As we age, muscle and bone natural degrade. In many cases, a mature age may come into play with recovery time.

• Nutrition: How you nurture your body with food can have a drastic impact on your organs, muscle, and pain reduction.

• Weight: Extra weight adds strain to your back muscles and spine.

• Ongoing trauma: Resistance to resting as needed will prolong any recovery.

• Chronicity: How long the pain has been occurring.

• Habits: Smoking, heavy drinking, or use of other habit-forming substances can have negative affects on the recovery process.

Chiropractic is a wholistic therapy particularly focused on manipulating the spine into proper alignment. Correct spinal alignment will improve the body’s mobility and relieve pain. Schedule your next treatment with your chiropractor and ask how your personal condition may affect the speed of your recovery.
