Getting the Most Out of Your Adjustment
After your adjustment from Dr. Shoe or Dr. Alex what can you do to prolong the benefits?
Traction
Tractioning in the office or at home will help bring that natural 40-degree curve in your neck. This helps balance the weight of your skull on your spine and evenly distributes the load across the curve.

Icing
Putting ice on your injury will reduce the swelling and help aid in the healing process. We do not suggest using heat due to the chance it may increase inflammation. We recommend 20 minutes of ice as often as every 2 hours.

Exercise
We have cervical, lower back and safe lifting exercises the doctor will give you. They will help you strengthen these areas to prevent further injury.

Supplements
We recommend several supplements for joint and spinal health like Glucosamine Sulfate, Collagen, Chondro-flx and Fish Oil. These all help with rebuilding and restoring joint health and increasing lubrication.
