Jacksonville Chiropractor Says It's Time For Men To Start Prioritizing Their Health

“I’m fine. It’ll work itself out.”

We hear this ALL THE TIME in our office. And it’s rarely true.

Unfortunately, most of the time, pain doesn’t just “work itself out.” In fact, it’s more likely to worsen time if you’re not doing anything to help heal your body from within. The longer you deal with pain, the harder it is to heal.

This is something we see at our Jacksonville chiropractic clinic a lot more often in men, and in honor of Men’s Health Awareness Month, we want to bring it to your attention because it has the power to save lives.

The Problem In Jacksonville

We know that men often die earlier than women, become ill at a younger age, and even develop more chronic illnesses. Yet, they’re still 50% less likely to seek medical attention than women.

Why Is That?
It’s most likely a combination of several things! From truly thinking it’ll work itself out to minimizing their pain, saying - “it’s not that bad,” and even feeling too busy or like they have more important things to do than come in for care.

The problem is your body often needs help to “work itself out.” The longer you go without this help, the worse the problem becomes, and the more your body adjusts to this new normal. Someone who visits our office after experiencing pain for three months will often see faster results than someone who comes in after three years.

So, with this in mind, please don’t just wait it out or say, “I’m fine.” Pain is a warning sign of a more significant issue in the body, and correcting it sooner rather than later can improve your health in multiple ways.

The Solution

Chiropractic care is to the body like an oil change is to your car. It’s a way to ensure your nervous system is running smoothly and helps you prevent issues from popping up in the future. So, please come in for regular adjustments to ensure your body is functioning optimally, and if you’re experiencing pain, don’t just ignore it or mask it with medicine.
