Dr. Gena Chiropractic - Your Favorite Family Chiropractors - Plantation, Florida

One of the most common chiropractic questions we hear is, “When should I go to the chiropractor?” And while, on our end, the answer seems obvious, we realize that many people may still associate chiropractic care with a way to help you feel better only after some physical pain presents itself.

Now, don’t get us wrong, we’re always happy to help you feel better, but the truth about chiropractic care is that it is at its most powerful when it becomes part of your lifestyle, instead of something you rely on once trouble arises. Though we do get great results in helping people get relief from conditions like headaches, migraines, lower back pain, sciatica and neck pain.

Dr. Gena Chiropractic, a favorite family chiropractor located just west of Fort Lauderdale in Plantation, was founded by Dr. Gena Bofshever herself. The mission? To motivate and inspire people to live life to its fullest potential.

If you’re already a part of our Dr. Gena community, you’ll know that our commitment to your long-term health is the blueprint for all that we do. From our in-house wellness events and workshops to our attendance at local health-focused conferences and expos, our message is loud and clear: we want you living your best and healthiest life by realizing that your health really IS in your hands. We want to help you increase your energy levels and lower your stresses so you can feel and function at your best.

All that being said, the answer to when you should go to a chiropractor lies in you, and whether or not you are proactive or reactive when it comes to your health.

Not sure? Consider this:

If you’ve ever pulled a muscle during a run and then swore to always stretch before hitting the pavement, it’s a good thing you’re reading this, because until you reverse the curse of reactive living, you’ll always be chasing a quick fix for feeling good and immediate pain relief. Hence, you’ll wait until you’re in pain to visit a chiropractor. This is not the ideal time to start a chiropractic wellness plan.

The cure for living a reactive lifestyle and only putting your health in your hands AFTER a problem has occurred?

“It’s critical to develop a proactive approach to health and wellness – one that allows you to be in control of how your body feels and functions. To be proactive means controlling a situation by causing something to happen rather than responding to it after it already has. And in a world where we are always feeling behind on to-do lists, running late for appointments, or rushing to our next activity, if being in control of your health is an option – why wouldn’t you take it?” Dr. Gena explains.

So, why is visiting a chiropractor when you’re not in pain or trying to undo years of damage to your body important?

In a society that seems to pop a pill for just about any ailment and rely on a prescription to get them through any health struggles, we often forget that there is a much better option – avoiding the need for reactive treatment altogether.  

Just because you’re not in pain, doesn’t mean there isn’t any dis-ease in your body. Just like that root canal you needed didn’t come from a cavity that formed overnight, things could be brewing in your body for months, if not years, before you even know there is a problem. A preventative approach to your health can save you years of struggle and thousands of dollars in trying to treat a problem later on, making regular chiropractic care such a wise long-term investment in your health. Many people may not understand the relationship between their spinal health and their overall health. When your spine is out of alignment, your central nervous system (brain-body connection) will be affected, thus impacting your health. So long as you commit to consistent routine chiropractic adjustments, the subluxations affecting your nervous system will be reduced,  and leaving you feeling better than you have in years.


There is no better place to begin your path to proactive wellness than with regular chiropractic care at Dr. Gena Chiropractic in Plantation, Florida. Don’t wait! And remember, your health is in your hands, but our hands are here to help!
