Episode 8: The Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Teachers

SUMMARY

In this week’s episode, Dr. Duncan is joined by her friend and local elementary school teacher, Ms. Kirby-Annah Philpot, to discuss how school teachers can greatly benefit from chiropractic care. They discuss how teaching, especially young children, can be a very physically demanding job, which can be a source of neck and back pain. Dr. Duncan and Ms. Philpot break down some of the reasons why teachers may be hesitant to initially start seeing a chiropractor, and she shares her story about how chiropractic care helps her stay mobile and pain-free after being on her feet with her students all day.

TAKEAWAYS

•  Chiropractic care can help alleviate physical challenges faced by teachers, such as neck and shoulder tension from bending forward and looking down at students.
• Stress from teaching can contribute to physical discomfort and pain, highlighting the need for proactive self-care.
• Chiropractic care is not a quick fix but requires ongoing maintenance to prevent future issues and promote overall health.
• Teachers can benefit from flexible chiropractic care schedules that accommodate their busy lives. Chiropractic offices that are open past 5:00 pm and on Saturdays are helpful. Regular chiropractic care is important for maintaining spinal health and preventing future issues.
•  Chiropractic adjustments can provide relief and a sense of calmness, much like a visit to the spa, which is much deserved for hard-working teachers.
•  Investing in chiropractic care early can help prevent unnecessary surgeries and medication later.
• Open communication with chiropractors can address concerns and ensure personalized treatment, especially if someone is scared of having their neck manually adjusted.
