Paint's Not Dry Yet!

You’re a few weeks into your care plan and you’re feeling better.  You want to get back to your routine as soon as possible.  There’s a lot to do around the house, you've got a family to take care of and you want to get back to the gym.  There’s an urgency to start living’ again.  Problem is, the “paint’s not dry yet.”

It’s not uncommon to feel done after a few adjustments.  When your innate healing abilities kick in, you might look and feel remarkably new – like a fresh coat of paint.  But like that coat of paint, looks can be deceiving.  What seems completely dry (healed) on the surface may still have a few tacky areas underneath.  If you jump the gun and try to re-hang the fixtures, you might ruin the finish and need to start all over again.

Thorough healing requires time.  Even though you feel better after a few chiropractic sessions, it’s no green light to go back to your old activities.  The stabilizing phase of care (where you feel so good you wonder why you’re still coming in) is where the paint curing happens.  Give your body the time it needs to completely dry and you’ll be happier with the end results! 

You are worth it!
