Healing is a Process

Similarly, healing is accomplished cell by cell. It takes time. Since many health issues result from years of neglect, it can take just as long, or longer, to make positive changes. The speed of your recovery is dependant upon many factors and can’t be rushed You may hit some plateaus along the way, but that doesn't matter. Just keep a positive attitude!

Dr. Doug  Asks some important questions of interest to Oakdale residents - Chiropractor Oakdale Dr. Doug Asks...

What is the purpose of pain?
Pain prompts many Oakdale folks to begin chiropractic care. But pain isn't the problem! Pain is just how your body alerts you that a limit has been reached (or exceeded), that something isn't working right and that some type of change is needed. As a chiropractor, my job is finding the underlying cause and recommending the changes needed to bring your body back into balance.
Are aches and pains good or bad?
While aches or pains may be unpleasant, they're merely warning signs. As a Oakdale chiropractor, I see this all the time. The pain is not the problem! It just means a limitation has been reached and something needs to change. That's when we get to work correcting the underlying cause.
