Our Eastpointe and Shelby Township offices want to remind you that Life gets busy, and it’s easy to push health appointments aside. But when it comes to chiropractic care, consistency is key—especially for patients dealing with neuropathy, inflammation, or chronic pain. Your adjustment schedule isn’t just a recommendation; it’s a carefully designed plan to help your nervous system function at its best. Skipping or delaying appointments can slow progress and allow symptoms to return.
The Power of Consistency in Chiropractic Care
1. Supporting Nerve Health and Neuropathy Relief
Many of my patients come to me with neuropathy, experiencing numbness, tingling, and pain due to nerve dysfunction. Regular chiropractic adjustments help reduce nerve interference, allowing the body to heal and improve communication between the brain and extremities. Staying on schedule is crucial to keeping that healing process on track.
2. Preventing Misalignments from Returning
Dr. McLeod says “the spine is the body’s foundation. When it’s out of alignment, it can create stress on the nervous system, leading to pain, stiffness, and decreased function. Just like maintaining proper posture or following a physical therapy routine, chiropractic care works best with regular upkeep.”
3. Enhancing the Effects of Red Light and Infrared Therapy
For patients undergoing low-level red light and infrared therapy in both of our Eastpointe and Shelby Township offices, adjustments help maximize the benefits. Proper spinal alignment improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and ensures the nervous system can fully respond to these healing treatments. Skipping visits can disrupt this synergy and slow down progress.
4. Keeping Mobility and Posture in Check
Whether you’re an active person or spend long hours sitting, your spine takes on daily stress. Regular adjustments help keep your joints mobile, improve posture, and prevent chronic pain from creeping back in.
5. Long-Term Wellness and Prevention
Chiropractic care is more than just pain relief—it’s about keeping your body functioning at its best. Many patients who stick to their recommended schedule notice better energy levels, improved sleep, and overall wellness beyond just spinal health.
Your Health is an Investment, Not an Expense
Dr. McLeod always reminds his patients that healing is a process. If you’ve been missing appointments or thinking of postponing care, now is the time to get back on track. Every adjustment builds on the last, helping your body heal and function at its best.
