Physical

It’s easy to see how the condition of our bodies can have such a profound effect on our overall health.

What is your physical condition? Are you receiving good nutrition, drinking plenty of water, getting regular exercise and maintaining the appropriate weight for your height?

Consider these aspects of physical health and then rate your current physical health across the following areas:

  • Weight
  • Posture
  • Strength
  • Energy level
  • Endurance
  • Personal hygiene
  • Quality of sleep
  • Diet and nutrition
  • Recreation
  • Vitality

Dr. Rich Asks some important questions of interest to Commerce Township residents - Chiropractor Commerce Township Dr. Rich Asks...

Why is a "slipped disc" unlikely?
Separating each spinal vertebra is a disc. Its fibrous outer ring holds in a jelly-like material. Because of the way a disc attaches to the spinal bones above and below it, it can't actually "slip." However, a disc can bulge, tear, herniate, thin and collapse. But it can't slip.
If you have a fever, are you sick or healthy?
Chiropractors love asking this question because it gets to the root of the chiropractic difference. Turns out fevers, vomiting, coughing and even sneezing are all healthy responses. It means your body is working correctly. Taking medications to suppress these natural processes can actually prolong your recovery.
