DID YOU KNOW
Our nervous system tabulates approximately 4 billion environmental signals per second. Its primary role is to “read” the environment and make appropriate adjustments of growth and protection behaviors in order to ensure survival. Subluxations (misalignments) interfere with your nervous system's ability to keep you well. Getting chiropractic adjustments help you stay well.
From the desk of Dr. Keefe:
After 38 years, and starting on my 39th year in practice, I have come to one conclusion. Chiropractic combined with other natural health care techniques is the most effective approach to today's health problems. One of the fastest growing health problems today is whiplash neck injuries. The symptoms of whiplash are long and varied: headache, neck pain, tension, muscle spasm, blackouts, fatigue, loss of balance-the list goes on and on. NOTE: YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE SYMPTOMS UNTIL WEEKS OR MONTHS LATER.
It can be a tough road in trying to return a neck back to how it was before the accident. The most important thing you can do is KEEP YOUR APPOINTMENTS and follow all of our instructions. The injury involves all of the supporting structures of the neck: the muscles, tendons, ligaments, discs, nerves and joints. It can take months of hard work to restore the damage caused. If this injury is not reversed, it can cause permanent damage which can show up years from now as arthritis, neck instability, headaches... and again the list goes on. That's why everyone, after an accident, should get a chiropractic exam. Just covering up the symptoms with drugs is the most dangerous gamble one can take.
Let's review what steps you need to take: 1) Sleep on your back with an orthopedic pillow or a rolled up towel. 2) Do exercises and neck traction at home. 3) Don't do alot of work above your head and strain your neck and arm muscles. 4) Practice good posture and don't lean your head down to read or to do paper work. 5) Heavy lifting can also strain a weak neck (ask for our sheet on proper lifting and posture).-Be positive!
With proper care you have a great chance for a good recovery!
