Do I need treatment forever?
This is probably the #1 question I get asked in the clinic. The very simple answer is no, nobody needs treatment forever.
Many patients arrive with a fresh injury, feel better after 6 weeks of treatment, and just return when something else hurts. For a lot of people, this is perfect, and it’s often what I recommend.
With that said, there are situations where a monthly maintenance treatment will have a ton of value for a patient.
A Case For Strength
It’s no secret that it’s good for our health to stay active. Fitness is important to longevity, it’s good for our hearts, and reduces our risk of cancer and diabetes. A missing component of many of my patient’s fitness plans is a strength component.
This blog will make the case for why the strength component is crucial, and arguably has the largest impact not just on our longevity but on our quality of life in our later years.
