Physical

It’s easy to see how the condition of our bodies can have such a profound effect on our overall health.

What is your physical condition? Are you receiving good nutrition, drinking plenty of water, getting regular exercise and maintaining the appropriate weight for your height?

Consider these aspects of physical health and then rate your current physical health across the following areas:

  • Weight
  • Posture
  • Strength
  • Energy level
  • Endurance
  • Personal hygiene
  • Quality of sleep
  • Diet and nutrition
  • Recreation
  • Vitality

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

How long does it take to form a bone spur?
Many who begin chiropractic care think their problem happened "last week when you bent over funny." But pictures of the spine tell a different story. Chiropractors know it can take your body years to deposit the calcium necessary to form a bone spur. It's your body's response to stress due to gravity or joint malfunction. And chiropractic care can help.
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.
