Ways to Use Chiropractic Care
You may have heard the old saying, “once you go to the chiropractor you have to go forever”. This is simply not true. However, how long you choose to benefit from chiropractic care is always up to you. Because there are five different ways to benefit:
Relief Care
Many patients begin here. Pain prompts patients to begin chiropractic care. If you stop care as soon as you feel better, you’ll invite a relapse. Muscles and soft tissues do most of their healing after symptoms disappear.
Corrective Care
With the most obvious symptoms reduced, many patients opt to continue their care. This helps stabilize and strengthen their spine. Doing so helps promote lasting changes and helps avoid a relapse in pain.
Maintenance Care
Like brushing or flossing your teeth, regular chiropractic care helps maintain your progress and avoid a relapse. How often patients visit correlates with the patient's age, condition and the stresses in their life.
Preventative Care
Periodic chiropractic checkups can help catch new problems early, as well as prevent new problems from occurring. This can minimize inconvenient flare-ups. Those who value their health often take this proactive approach.
Wellness Care
We experience life through our nervous system. That’s why optimizing your nervous system is the key to becoming all that we can be and living life to the fullest.
