I Notes on
Chiropractic
By DR. HENRY L. FOLEY
ammo r s an ® . -jS
How long will it take to get
well?
The answer to this question
always depends on many sac-
tors; the na
ture of the ail
ment; vitality
of the patient;
history of the
illness; type of
work patient
performs, etc.
In a few rare
instances it is
possible to pre
dict a specific
number of ad-
justments will bring a marked
improvement or complete re
covery. In most cases results
come only after weeks or even
months of effort on the part of
the patient and chiropractor.
A major point of bringing
i about quick results is the proper
cooperation received from the
patient. Yet this is one of the
most difficult tasks for the
patient. Adjustments should be
taken regularly as prescribed.
Habits interfering with the
curative forces of the body,
such as excess smoking or
drinking, etc. may have to be
done away with.
During the course of chiro
practic care, the patient must
try to lead a normal life, free
from stress and strain; and
must observe food values so that
the body machine will be sup
plied with necessary fuel.
