Chiropractic care is like
"orthodontics" for the spine. Clinically, repeated
chiropractic adjustments "train" the vertebrae to maintain their
proper alignment and movement.
Like the time required for braces to
achieve correction depends on an individual's teeth and mouth structure,
the time required for proper positioning to occur depends on the condition
of the patient's spine, their job, and other lifestyle activities.
Think of your spinal adjustments like
maintaining your car. It's recommended that that you change your
car's oil every 3,000 or so miles. For how long you ask? For
as long as you own the car!
While some individuals drive 3,000
miles in a week, others do so in a month or two. The point is,
however, that we change our oil on a regular basis. The same goes
for caring for your spine.
Whether to get adjusted weekly or monthly
depends on each patient's specific health condition. Remember,
"An ounce of Prevention if worth a pound of cure!" Don't
let your car's engine fall out before changing its oil!
