Men’s Health and Chiropractic Care
T
here is a silent health crisis in America; on average, American men
live sicker and die younger than American women.
It seems that a lot of men are hesitant to be proactive and take the
preventive approach to their health. In fact, according to Men’s Health
Network, women are 100% more likely to visit the doctor for annual
examinations and preventive services than men. The bottom line is
that men tend to let their busy schedules get in the way.
Hey guys...just like your car, your body needs maintenance too.
Much like you check the oil and rotate the tires, your body needs the
same types of service. It’s important to keep it running properly and fix
the underlying problems before they worsen.
Ask yourself these questions:
• Do you sit at your desk or in a vehicle for a small amount of time
before you end up fidgeting and aching?
• Do you have pain while lifting heavy weights or boxes?
• Are you getting sick often?
• Do you get out of bed in pain and/or discomfort?
Chiropractic services may help you be the best man you can be.
Chiropractic care can make you stronger. Structure determines
function. It is common for men to have acute low back pain from all
the hard work or playing they have been doing; however, unless there
is a significant injury, strong backs don’t just “blow out.” Instead, your
back structures tighten up over time with an accumulation of stress,
and this causes the core back muscles to get weak. These weakened
muscles are unable to perform simple tasks such as bending over to
tie a shoe.
Chiropractic adjustments realign and mobilize the tight joints and
get things moving the correct way. With proper structural alignment
and mobility, the deep core muscles have something to do, and they
naturally get strong and are better able to stabilize the back.
Chiropractic care can make you a better______________.
Fill in the blank with your important roles:
1. Worker
2. Golfer
3. Driver
4. Father
All of these roles require
energy, agility and endurance.
When your body is out of
alignment, your nerves are
pinched and your muscles
are weakened, which can
drain your energy and leave
you unable to perform. With
chiropractic care, pressure is
released from those pinched
nerves and your joints are
able to move freely, giving
you movement without pain.
