What NOT to do when you get sick

Saturday, February 16th, 2008

The last couple weeks I’ve been getting a lot of practice members coming

in that are either sick or just getting over being sick. The flu and colds

seem to be getting a bunch of people right now.

Now, when people get sick, what’s the first thing they do?

Cancel their appointments.

I’ve had practice members call to tell me they’d have to reschedule their

appointment because they weren’t feeling well.

My recommendation to you is if you’re not feeling well, don’t cancel your

appointment. Come in and get your adjustment.

Here’s why. When you get chiropractic care, it improves the function of

your body. This includes boosting your immune system. Adjustments are a

great way to naturally help you get over being sick. In fact, studies have been

done that show a 200% increase in immune system function in people that

get adjusted regularly!

I’ve seen it countless times before. Patients who get adjusted when they

get sick recover faster and feel better sooner.

So if you are struggling with a cold, the flu, a sinus infection or whatever

ailment, let me help you get over it by giving your immune system a boost!

One question patients ask me is, “What if I or my child is contagious?” My

answer is if you think you or your child is contagious and you worry about

getting others in the office sick, then wait a day or two and then come in

to get adjusted.

The next time you get sick, try adding chiropractic care to your plan of

attack. You’ll be glad you did!
