Dads, we see you! You’re endlessly busy as you provide for and protect that family of yours. You’re working long hours, taking the midnight shift helping with the baby to give mom some sleep, and coaching sports on evenings/weekends to spend quality time with your little ones. You may be fueled far more than you like on caffeine and sugar, food on the go, and, dare I say it, struggling with the dad bod. You’re exhausted and wired at the same time. Putting yourself and your health first, especially with chiropractic care, is not at the top of your list.
Bill and his entire family came in for chiropractic care when some of the daily symptoms of overall pain and discomfort became too much to ignore. He and his wife, Kim, were both full-time employees in the biotech field, which is very demanding with long hours in front of the computer. They have two girls in 5th & 7th grade, both involved in extracurricular programs. Bill was never refreshed when he woke, drank 3-4 coffees each morning to get going, only had bowel movements every few days, and hadn’t been to the gym consistently in over a year. He knew he needed help.
Bill started noticing changes with the first few adjustments such as feeling clearer & being more able to face his day. He noticed he was moving better and more often. As each adjustment offered his nervous system more ease and balance, Bill noticed more ease and balance in his life. He chose to quit coffee, was back at the gym (he actually kept a gym bag in his car so he could go at any time), and made sure he got to his gardening regularly as that was his main passion. Bill felt enlivened again. He acknowledged the hardest part was the crossing the hurdle of taking the first step and getting into the office for his initial evaluation.
Stress & Chiropractic Care
Stress comes in physical form (long hours sitting, prior physical traumas), chemical form (food, environment, medications), and emotional form (family dynamics, relationship struggles, big life events). Your dad life is full of it. You don’t need me to tell you that and chances are these symptoms make it a lot harder to happily and willingly participate in life. Am I right?
Stress accumulated causes significant imbalances within the nervous system, your body’s primary communication system. When the accumulation becomes too much you start having symptoms such as lack of energy, brain fogginess, digestive issues, aches/pains, and irritability. These symptoms are not the problem; they are the effect of the problem.
Neurologically-focused chiropractic is the breakthrough that will allow your body to rebalance and adapt better to the daily stress. Life doesn’t get easier; stress doesn’t go away. We have to gain strength and adapt better. Chiropractic care that is directly focused on nervous system function and performance will remove interference as well as improve the body’s ability to acclimate. This will leave you functioning and feeling better.
We understand your time is precious and your schedule is limited. The initial assessment and INSIGHT scans are completed within 30-40 minutes. For your subsequent appointments, you will be in and out of the office in under 10 minutes (that’s including the wait).
The Next Right Thing
Your health is built/maintained from the inside out and it takes work. The only thing that you need to do is the next right thing each & every time. You need to take the first step though. Once you do that your nervous system will begin to unwind, relax and eventually restore. Improvements to your sleep and energy levels will begin to appear, symptoms will lighten, and you’ll start to feel back to yourself with a new lease on life. While the first step and the consistency in care fall on you, Dr. Molly and her team will support you through the process. They’re here and ready to help you, Dad!
