Crisis Prevention

Posted by: KC McCorriston



In our society, people tend to take their car into the shop after something has broken down, install anti-virus software after their computer has got scammed, watching what they eat after they've gained ten pounds, and go to the doctors after their body has had some kind of crisis. One thing that we try and teach people is prevention. If you take care of things on a more regular basis (even if that just means once a month, or a few times a year) your crisis times will be less intense and take less time to handle. Having worked at the office for over a year now I am starting to understand patterns, especially the patterns of patients. We receive many calls from people in crisis trying to get in with the doctor as soon as possible. They then find themselves needing multiple adjustments to got back on course. Once back on track, they often say that they want to revise their treatments and start coming in for regular care so that they don't find themselves frenzied in a time of crisis. In my experience at the front desk, people who have integrated chiropractic care as a part of their lifestyle keep their body functioning well are better equipped to handle emergencies. They're body is more resilient and able to be healthy and balanced. We are here for all of our patients, whether it be a crisis or just a regular check up, but from my perspective I see the benefits of keeping yourself healthy and coming in to see the doctor on a regular basis.
