What happens between visits matters.
In-office care gets you out of pain. What you do at home helps keep you there. This page brings together four straightforward guides, written in plain language, covering the most important things you can do to support your recovery.

How soon can I start exercising after an adjustment?
For most patients, light movement and gentle exercise right away is completely fine. Movement is part of recovery, not something to avoid. If we've done something more intensive, we'll tell you on the day. When in doubt, just ask.
Should I use ice or heat at home?
As a general rule: ice for new, acute injuries to reduce swelling in the first 48 to 72 hours; heat for chronic, tight muscles to encourage blood flow and relaxation. The right choice depends on your specific situation. Ask us at your next visit.
Do I need to follow all four guides?
We always start with what is most relevant to your situation and build from there.
Can I use these guides if I'm not currently a patient?
Absolutely. The information on this page applies to most people dealing with back or neck pain. Book an assessment. We'd love to help you.
