GETTING “FIT” WITH CHIROPRACTIC

Q: How many fitness workouts does it take to “get fit”?

A: More than one, probably more than six, and probably more than you would have liked! The total number required will depend on just how fit you want to be.

Many of us feel an increased sense of wellbeing and relaxation after doing some exercise. Some of us initially regret having taken up a new workout due to the resultant stiff and sore spots we never knew we had. But the bottom line when talking about actually making permanent positive changes to our fitness and long-term health is that we need to develop a schedule and keep up regular workouts to maximize the cumulative benefits. Most experts agree that two to three workouts per week is essential to achieve good levels of aerobic performance.

This same principle can be applied to the type of schedule we would recommend for you to get the best possible results from Chiropractic care.

Sure some people receive enough “relief” from one adjustment to keep them going for a while. But just how “fit” do you deserve to be? We know from the research into the modern forms of treatment that we provide that the best results occur with regular ongoing adjustments.

How regular? The similarities with the fitness analogy continue. Just as two to three “workouts” a week in the gym will get the quickest results, two to three “workouts” a week at the Chiropractors will see the most dramatic changes.

Thankfully, here’s where the analogy breaks down. While you need to continue to exercise two to three times a week for the rest of your life, Chiropractic care is not so unforgiving. As you continue to enjoy improvements from our care, the regularity of treatment spreads to once weekly, once fortnightly, and maybe even to once monthly. That is, if your intention is to stay as healthy and vigorous as possible for all of your remaining years.
