Once I start going to a chiropractor, do I need to go for the rest of my life?

This is one of the most popular questions that I recieve in my office and it is an unfortunate myth that has been propagated over the years. The truth is that most patients that utulize chiropractic in helping their bodies reach their peak performance soon notice that continuing care helps them to maintain better quality of life. Chiropractic can also be used to specifically treat, and rehabilitate many conditions. Once the situation has been resolved, you or your chiropractor can terminate care. This does not mean that you will automatically return to an unhealthy state! However, most patients tend to find that periodic visits to your chiropractor will not only keep them feeling relatively healthy, but also help to avoid the start of other problems. The reasonable time period for these visits depends on many factors, including how your body reacts to chiropractic treatment, and should therefore be discussed with your chiropractor.
