Diets Don't Work!

"What do you think of Atkins? Or South Beach?"

It's a question I get all the time. But virtually every diet has a serious flaw. It's the diet part.

Name the diet, and if someone follows it, they'll usually lose some weight. When they reach their goal, they often return to their original eating and exercise habits. Soon, they're back to where they began. They feel discouraged and disillusioned.

This is so common, it even has a name: the Yo-Yo diet.

I mention this because many people see their chiropractic care as a short-term 'diet' of sorts. They come in religiously while they're hurting but stop when they're feeling better. Later, they experience a relapse. Lasting spinal changes are made with continued care after symptoms subside. In fact, many cases require some type of ongoing supportive care.

So rather than a brief episode, getting and keeping our nervous systems interference- free is a lifestyle choice. That's why we have more and more patients who opt to see us on an ongoing basis.

They're the ones who tried the chiropractic diet and decided to go for the chiropractic lifestyle.
