Father’s day is quickly approaching. They are one segment of the population that definately needs help with their health. All too often Dad’s neglect their health in favor of taking care of everyone else or just plain “being manly”. However, taking care of dad helps the whole family live better lives. All of the dad’s in our office don’t miss days of work due to sickness and appreciate what we do for everyone else in their family. So why is it good to take care of dad with Chiropractic?
1. Dad is typically the house provider
While this is changing some, dad is still typically the main provider for entire families. What happens if he goes down? Ask a friend or relative what happens when dad takes time off due to a sickness or injury, regardless of his work status. It’s like everything comes to a screaching halt until he gets back on his feet. We can help prevent those times from occuring and speed the recovery time when they do. Dad’s need to take care of themselves to.
2. You want to dance with your daughter on her wedding day
One of the highlights of every wedding is the daddy/daughter dance. Every father I’ve spoken with says is it one of their favorite moments and the ones with little girls say it is one of the times in life they specially look forward to. Health related issues are one of the most common reasons dads miss out that dance. We’re here to help you get there.
3. You want to keep playing with your son
I love getting out into the back yard with my boys. Throwing and kciking balls, heading to the playground, shooting hoops and wrestling on the floor, letting them pin me down and win are some of my favorite pastimes. They are also some of my favorite memories of my time as a child with my own father. I hear too many times how a dad doesn’t have the time or the energy to share in these activities. Or dad is hurt and can’t. All dad’s want to get out there with their boy. Let us help you keep out there with him.
4. Your wife said so
Let me tell you a litle story…
A couple of weeks ago, I walked full stride into the corner of an open window. It was one of those crank shaft windows that open outwards. I banged my head hard enough that it knocked me to the ground. After getting up, my wife asked me if I was ok and needed to get checked. I said “no”, but i’ll likely need it tomorrow. She called my colleague and friend any way and I got checked a couple hours later. I know you have a similar story to.
Then there are the times when I hear from mom that dad “won’t do this” or “isn’t into seeing doctors.” I look around and say, “yeah, neither did any of them” as I point out the all the dads in the office being taken care of.
Guys, were not the sharpest tools in the shed when it comes to taking care of ourselves, thank God we have wives who know better.
5. What dad says, goes… and I’m a dad
So as a doctor who is a dad, i’m telling you for your own good to get checked. We both know I can’t make you do it. But it is in your best interest and the best interest for your entire family that you get in and get checked and take care of yourself.
