While patience is key in any healing process, there are many things you can do to encourage your recovery.

  • Be sure you are receiving enough rest (and avoid sleeping on your stomach).
  • Practice sitting, standing and lifting methods that support your spine health.
  • Make proper nutrition a priority.
  • If you are carrying excess weight, do your best to slim down.
  • Dedicate yourself to the specific exercises your chiropractor recommends.
  • Keep your appointments.
