Why You Should Still Get Chiropractic Care Even When You are Not Currently in Pain
Most people wait until they have an injury or are in pain to seek out a chiropractor. Although this is a common approach, it is better to take a preventative attitude, rather than waiting for things to break down. Most injuries are ones that have accumulated over time and have been building up. Patients often come in and say that the reason I am in here is only because I bent over to pick up my phone, lifting laundry or just sneezed. It was not the sneeze or the phone that you tried to pick up, it was all the accumulated activities you did over the course of months or years prior to that moment. These microtraumas add up. Sitting at a desk the wrong way for 10 years is like a car accident. You did the same amount of damage, but it was done over time a little bit at a time. Common symptoms of a repetitive injuries over time are inflammation, pain, muscle spasms, limited range of motion, numbness, and tingling.
Chiropractic adjustments are a great and effective treatment for these types of injuries. Dr. Ressler, an experienced and top-rated chiropractor in Oviedo, FL tells his patients that, “after you have been adjusted, your bones, vertebrae and ligaments are returned to their proper alignment. Once the joint is put back into proper position, symptoms like pain and swelling will be alleviated.” This is why chiropractic care is a terrific way to treat many different injuries and conditions. Getting a tune up every 2-3 months is the way to prevent the buildup of the microtrauma issues and stop long term degenerative processes. Chiropractic care is a phenomenal treatment option for: auto accident injuries, sciatica, carpal tunnel, neck and back pain.

Even if you are not experiencing pain, getting a chiropractic evaluation is important to ensure that your spine is in proper alignment. Long-term compression of a nerve may lead to permanent damage. Keeping your spine aligned also allows you to have full range of motion and prevents a future injury.
Although Dr. Ressler treats patients for their pain, he also sees patients who are not in any discomfort at all. Patients get impressive results and rave about the way Dr. Ressler’s chiropractic method has given them better results than what they have had in the past treatments with other chiropractors. In fact, many of Dr. Ressler’s patients get adjusted every 3 to 4 months for maintenance. This way they know that they have proper spinal alignment, prevent future injuries, and can enjoy excellent health.
What sets Dr. Ressler’s chiropractic method apart from other chiropractic techniques? Dr. Ressler uses an alternative chiropractic method called the “activator technique.” The activator technique involves a specialized spring-loaded adjusting device that adjusts each joint individually. The commonly known manual adjustment technique typically uses unnecessary force, cracking, and twisting. This may cause patients to experience pain and discomfort during and/or after the adjustment. An adjustment performed by the activator instrument involves no cracking or twisting making it gentle and more precise. Dr. Ressler also moves the misaligned joint back into place slowly which minimizes any potential discomfort. Then he uses soft tissue techniques like trigger point release/myofascial release during each treatment. This combination of aligning the joints and addressing the soft tissue issues at the same time, enables Dr. Ressler to get such superior results in only a couple of visits.
