Many of us look forward to the summer months and having “fun in the sun!” There always seems like an abundance of activities that pair well with the summer season. Dr. Ressler, Oviedo chiropractor, tells his patients that “with an increase in amount of activity can lead to an increase in the amount of injury.” Oviedo Injury and Wellness Center wants you to have a safe and fun summer-with no injuries. Whether you have planned a vacation or just looking forward to getting some house projects done, maintaining your chiropractic routine is very important to ensure that you enjoy a pain free summer.
It is understandable that with an approaching vacation or a calendar full of plans, it makes it a little harder to continue your chiropractic routine. Keeping your spine aligned and having proper range of motion will lower your risk of getting injured during your summer activities.
Oviedo Injury and Wellness Center has a few tips to keep you on track with your chiropractic routine:
- Schedule all your chiropractic appointments for the entire summer. Most patients maintain a once every three months routine. These quarterly “tune ups” help remove accumulated trauma to the joints and maintain proper range of motion. This will help create a guide for you to easily follow and plan around.
- If you have a planned vacation, make sure to schedule your appointments with Oviedo Injury and Wellness Center before you leave and when you return. This will ensure that you have no misalignments during your trip and will correct any that you may have when returning home.
- If you are already following Dr. Ressler’s customized chiropractic care routine, OIWC recommends that you incorporate exercise and stretching. Chiropractic care is a perfect partner with a fitness plan.
Will the summer be the start of a fitness routine?
Your Oviedo chiropractor, Dr. Ressler will prescribe stretches and exercises specifically tailored to you and your wellness goals. He will develop a customized routine that will be sure to give you amazing results! When your spine is aligned and your muscles are flexible, your joints have proper range of motion. Having proper range of motion lowers your risk of getting injured while exercising and it enables your muscles to work optimally. Chiropractic is a safe and effective way to keep you pain free and on track with your fitness routine.
What happens if I get injured?
If you do get injured, Dr. Ressler, Oviedo chiropractor advises his patients to “never work through the pain, this could make a minor injury severe.” Most muscle related injuries will resolve in a couple days. If not, then you need to get checked out. Dr. Ressler uses a spring-loaded tool called an “Activator” to adjust his patients. This special instrument sends a precise, gentle force to correct any misalignments in the neck, back and extremities. It is pain free and involves no twisting/cracking of the neck or low back.
Would a chiropractor that does manual adjustments be able to do the same thing as the activator method?
Although both techniques move the joints back into proper position, the activator technique is a more precise and gentle approach to a manual adjustment. This is because the spring-loaded instrument sends a gentle force to the specific joint out of proper position. The activator allows Oviedo chiropractor, Dr. Ressler to correct the misalignment without painful twisting or cracking. Our patients love the activator method because it is pain-free and more comfortable than a manual adjustment. His makes people les nervous about getting relief with care.
