If I see a Chiropractor, do I have to keep coming back forever?


"I am scared that if I start going to a Chiropractor, I will have to go forever!!!"

I hear this comment a lot from people when they are trying to decide whether they should visit a Chiropractor and see if it can help their ailments.

While this statement is not true, I completely understand where their
fear comes from.

Here is what SHOULD happen when you go to a Chiropractor. If it's determined that Chiropractic may be able to provide a solution for you, a plan of action should be laid out, with what to expect along the way.

However, every person's plan should be different, as we are all unique individuals! An otherwise healthy 17 year old athlete who woke up with a kink in her neck may only need 3 treatments to resolve her symptoms.

On the opposite end of the scale we may have a 50 year old who has suffered through chronic back pain with severe arthritis for 20 years and Chiropractic might be his last resort to avoid surgery.

Some people do find that getting occasional adjustments over time lessens the amount of flare-ups of back pain they experience while also helping them to feel healthier and more alert, just like getting a regular oil change for your car. This doesn't guarantee that your car will never have a major breakdown, but it greatly decreases the odds of it happening!

Other people can go months or years without feeling the need to visit a Chiropractor, and rarely suffer from back pain or other symptoms. Every person is unique!

So, if you are suffering and thinking of trying a Chiropractor, remember that you need to decide what your reasons are for going and what do you want the end result to look like. It's your health - you need to be the boss! If you have any questions, contact us here.

Chiropractic And Injury Prevention

As research performed in the last few decades has shown, Chiropractic is known to change & improve various aspects of nervous system function, including motor control, brain reaction times, and brain cognitive processing (the speed with which our brain processes information). So, it makes sense that if any of these areas are lacking then you should be at greater risk for injury, especially when we are talking low back injuries (due to how important brain control is over the vitally important spinal muscles). We know that if you can’t activate your trunk and core muscles before rapidly moving an arm, this can potentially result in a strain or sprain of the low back. This is known as the feed forward mechanism - if our spine doesn't first stabilize properly before we move our limbs then we greatly increase our risk of injury at the spinal level. These injuries usually start as microscopic injuries that we don't even notice but like everything else they continue to b...
