After your chiropractic adjustment, what are the three important recommendations that Dr. Collin Struble DC CME has for you? Many of his patients know the answer readily! REST, WATER, and ICE! Resting 10-15 minutes allows the adjustment to settle.
Dr. Collin often has his patients lay down on the resting table immediately after their adjustment. This takes gravity out of the picture and allows your body to accept the adjustment. Drinking a bottle of water after your adjustment helps the body regain homeostasis, or a state of equilibrium or balance. Ice applied to the area reduces inflammation, pain and recovery time. Dr. Collin will often combine your rest with icing to get the most out of your adjustment before you even leave the clinic. A rest, water and ice regimen…three tasks that are FREE, SIMPLE, and VERY EFFECTIVE!
