"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.
