Staying pain-free doesn’t always mean having to resort to invasive surgeries or taking prescription painkillers. Your body is just like a car – if you don’t maintain it, it will break down. At Synergy Health, we provide our patients with integrative, innovative treatments, including chiropractic adjustments and massage therapy, to help our patients stay pain-free naturally.
Additionally, other lifestyle factors impact your health and overall quality of life. At Synergy Health, we educate and empower our patients in staying active, eating healthy, and resting properly to ensure a successful journey to a pain-free life.
Seeing a Chiropractor Regularly
Frequent chiropractic adjustments can be extremely helpful in soothing pain and fixing the overall function of the nervous system and realigning the muscles, tendons, and nerves along the spine. Seeing a chiropractor regularly can help facilitate movement, relieve pain, relax muscles and improve the function of the joints. The more you go, the more improvement you’ll see.
Dr. Stephanie Ahasic, our lead chiropractor and founder of Synergy Health, is proud that Synergy Health has been voted top chiropractic clinic in the Naples Region, year after year. With her experience and a passion for helping people, Dr. Ahasic aims to make sure that every patient leaves the clinic feeling both mentally and physically relieved.
Therapeutic Massages
Therapeutic massages are extremely helpful in releasing tension in specific muscles that might be causing pain in other parts of your body. Many times, these trigger points form knots that need to be stretched and worked out over time. By having a professional pinpoint exactly what parts of your body are most tense, you can effectively treat the pain at the source of the issue.
Staying Active and Stretching
It comes as no surprise that participating in physical activities and sports is beneficial to your overall health. It could be as simple as playing golf, doing yoga, or going for a morning jog. By living an active lifestyle, adults can not only strengthen their muscles and bones but also reduce stress.
According to a Harvard study, exercising stimulates the production of endorphins, chemicals in the brain that are the body’s natural painkillers.
Never Neglect the Power of Rest
Get some rest! Putting too much stress on your body and mind without any breaks could cause a domino effect of health issues. As important as it is to exercise, make sure you find a healthy balance and give your body time to rest and regenerate. Getting enough sleep, drinking plenty of water, and taking some pressure off of your joints is fundamental in staying healthy and pain-free.
Having a Healthy Diet
What you eat has a direct effect on how you feel. A lot of chronic pain is the result of chronic inflammation, which is in turn due to poor food and nutritional choices.
The good news is that changing your diet is can make a huge impact on your chances of reducing and avoiding chronic pain altogether. By eating balanced meals that consist of anti-inflammatory foods, you can make a deeper, lasting impact on your overall health. “Avoid sugar, alcohol, and processed foods, advises Dr. Ahasic.
“Instead, try to introduce quality proteins, whole grains, and a variety of vegetables and healthy fats to your diet!”
