Common Misconceptions

Chiropractic care is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on the relationship between the body’s structure and the nervous system’s function. One of the common misconceptions about chiropractic care is that once you start going, you have to keep going for the rest of your life. However, this is not true.

When you first visit a chiropractor, they will typically adjust your spine to move bones back into their proper position. This can make your spine feel tighter, but it is essential to remember that the goal of chiropractic care is not just to reduce pain but to improve the overall function of the spine. As your spine begins to function better, the pain will naturally decrease.

Many people who experience pain relief from their initial adjustments regularly see a chiropractor. This can be for maintenance or for continued improvement in other areas of their lives. However, all patients don’t need to continue regular adjustments. Some may only need a few adjustments, while others may choose to come in on a weekly or monthly basis.

The frequency of adjustments is ultimately up to the individual, and their chiropractor will provide guidance on what they believe is best for the patient’s specific needs. For many patients, pain is the result of repetitive actions or bad posture, and it can take time to address the root cause of the problem.

Chiropractors treat a wide range of pain complaints, including neck pain, back pain, sciatic pain, and pain in the arms. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it may be worth visiting a chiropractor to see if they can help improve your overall well-being.
