Do I Need to Keep Seeing a Chiropractor?

Have you ever visited a chiropractor for pain relief because of an injury? Once your injury is healed, it’s easy to think that everything is “all better” and that you do not need to continue receiving care. However, don’t discount the benefits of ongoing chiropractic care for your overall health! While some problems or injuries treated by a chiropractor may no longer require care once they are healed, many individuals benefit from ongoing maintenance care. It’s easy to assume that if you feel “okay” then your body is okay – but that’s not always the case!

Here’s what you need to know about ongoing chiropractic care for whole body health:

No, you do not need to see a chiropractor every week for the rest of your life.

This is one of the biggest myths out there about chiropractic care. In fact, we’ve had patients come to us and say that they put off seeking chiropractic care because they worried that once they started, they would have to see a chiropractor every week for the rest of their lives. The truth is that if you are in pain or have recently been injured, our chiropractor will do everything possible to get you back to an active and pain-free place as quickly as possible. We want you to be healthy!

However, ongoing wellness care reduces the risk for more serious health problems.

Would you wait until your car overheats at a gridlocked intersection during rush hour to change the oil? Or would you change the oil every 5,000 miles or so in order to prevent such a breakdown? Chiropractic care is maintenance care for your body. Keeping the spine properly aligned allows your body to function in a state of ease. This reduces the risk for developing back pain as well as injuries. Many times pain is the last symptom to develop when something in the body has been wrong for a long time. With regular adjustments, we can identify and correct these problems before more serious issues develop.
