I believe how often you visit the Chiro, depends on what the

situation is.... IE: accute injury/trauma or chronic condition?

 

I started seeing a Chiro several years ago, due to chronic

neck/shoulder and lower back pain. When I first started out, I had

to go in 3 times per week, which decreased to twice per week, then to

every 6 weeks, and now I only go in every 2 months to keep everything

going smoothly... (unless I overdo it, and pull/strain something in

between visits)

 

I needed the 3 times at week at first, because I had the symptoms for

so long before seeking treatment. The Chiro explained to me, that

the body has " memory-type " cells, and just giving 1 adjustment isn't

going to permanently " fix " the problem, cuz everything is going to

try to go back to the way it was before the adjustments started. I

needed continuing adjustments in order to " remind " everything along

the spinal column where it was " supposed " to be, and to keep it there.

 

I am able to go alot longer between adjustments, as I " keep " the

adjustments longer now.... everything is " remembering " where its

supposed to be and for the most part, stays there now.

 

I still go every 2 months as a sort of " maintenance " type program, as

I don't ever want things to go back to the way they were before I

started treatment.
