Not Getting Better

Why Am I Not Getting Better?

Many who begin care in our office have expectations based on the "fast,
fast relief" promised by the latest drug advertising. If the slow pace of
your recovery concerns you, let us know! Here are some possible explanations:

Each visit builds on the ones before.

Missed Visits

We base our recommendations on the results we've seen in others with similar
health challenges. Each visit builds on the ones before. Consistency helps
create the momentum necessary for healing.

Lack of Resolve

Healing is a process that takes time. The amount varies from person to person.
Reversing chronic, long-standing problems can be especially difficult to
resolve, especially since you're doing the healing, not us.

Outside Activities

Are you doing something between office visits that interferes with your
progress? Over-exertion, repetitive motions, heavy lifting, turning and bending
are common culprits.

Self Sabotage

There are many lifestyle choices that inhibit optimal health. What are you doing to support the care you receive in our office? Are you drinking more water, getting the proper rest and improving your nutrition? Extra weight and tobacco use diminish your recuperative ability.

Pessimism

Occasionally, we see folks who have tried everything and see us as their last
resort. They've been disappointed many times, so they resist getting their
hopes up. This is a surefire way to slow your recovery!

Continued Stress

Most health problems result from an inability to cope with or adapt to
physical, chemical or emotional stresses. If you're still experiencing the
original stress that caused your problem, naturally, progress will be slow. We don't fully understand why, but we know that sustained negative stress hinders healing.

Resistance

In rare cases, we meet people who don't want to get better. They find the
attention they get, their reduced workload or the lowered expectations of
others to be compelling reasons to stay impaired!

Spiritual Blocks

Assuming a victim mentality or embracing a sense of powerlessness is not
helpful. Even more common is an unwillingness to forgive the driver of the
other car or to forgive yourself.

Ineffective Approach

If the explanations above miss the mark, then it's time we change our approach.
We may need to see you more frequently or use a different adjusting approach.

Referral

We may need to refer you to another specialist. We have excellent working relationships with other practitioners who can see your situation from a fresh perspective. Your health and well-being is our primary interest.

If we're not meeting your expectations, let us know so we can respond appropriately and help you get the results you deserve!
