Can You Defy Gravity?

We see it all the time. A patient loses their health and shows up in our office. We’re always delighted to help, but as soon as they feel better, they discontinue their care. But that’s how our society sees health care: attend to health matters only after losing your health. The entire process is similar to riding a roller coaster.

After getting strapped in and using lots of energy, the roller coaster is pulled up a steep incline. That’s like the frequent visits a new patient experiences when beginning care. Up on top the views are great, but with the power removed, there’s only one way to go!

Like patients who feel better and then discontinue their care, they coast. Which is what a roller coaster is: a scary ride that while fast, is entirely based on coasting downhill. Gravity wins every time.

Much of the healing and retraining of muscles and ligaments necessary for more lasting spinal changes happen after the relief of obvious symptoms. That's why discontinuing care too soon invites a relapse.

Are you coasting? If it’s been awhile since your last chiropractic checkup, schedule one for yourself and someone you love today!

Dr. Miklos Asks some important questions of interest to Vermilion residents - Chiropractor Vermilion Dr. Miklos Asks...

How come medical doctors don't recommend chiropractic?
That's changing. Years of prejudice and bias are giving way to research showing the benefits of chiropractic care. As more and more Vermilion folks seek alternatives to drugs and surgery, more and more medical practitioners are referring their patients to chiropractors.
Is a muscle spasm a cause or an effect?
With the knee-jerk use of muscle relaxers, you'd think it was a cause. But it's an effect. Chiropractors know that bones don't move unless muscles move them. And muscles don't contract unless commanded by the nervous system. That's why your nervous system is the focus of our Vermilion chiropractic practice.
