Pain has a direct impact on your body’s overall capabilities and the levels you are able to physically perform at. Chiropractic therapy has been proven to aid in the prevention and reduction of bodily pain, increasing your peak performance capacity.
Primary Preventative Measures
Primary pain prevention methods are any measures taken to safely avoid the initial occurrence of bodily pain. These measures may include the avoidance of high-risk physical activities as well as taking the proper precautions prior to partaking in any physically strenuous activities.
Some Effective Precautionary Measures
- Stretching
- Warm-up exercises
- Chiropractic consultation
Secondary Preventative Measures
Secondary pain prevention methods are used to aid in the treatment of existing pain in order to prevent more serious damage. More specifically, secondary prevention pertains to reducing the chances of acute pain progressing into chronic pain. These preventive measures can help stop a minor injury from causing more devastating issues in the future.
Some Effective Methods of Secondary Pain Prevention
- Maintenance-focused chiropractic care
- Chiropractic consultation and treatment plan
- Avoiding unnecessary stress to areas in which pain is currently being experienced
Tertiary Preventative Measures
For those who have already developed some form of chronic pain, tertiary prevention methods help to mitigate the associated symptoms while reducing the risk of further impairment. Unfortunately, nearly 10% of adults experience chronic back pain, limiting them from a variety of physical activities. Fortunately, chiropractic therapy can aid in minimizing chronic pain symptoms and enable you to safely participate in certain physical activities you may have been missing out on. At times, tertiary measures can successfully prevent the recurrence of chronic pain and increase bodily performance to previous levels.

There are many approaches you can take to get the most out of your body, but only some of them have proven to be truly effective.
