Progress Visits
It’s impossible to predict how you will respond to chiropractic care. Everyone is different. We’ll have a better idea after a dozen visits or so. Discontinuing care once you feel better predisposes you to a relapse. Avoid relapse by committing to the doctors recommendations and your treatment schedule. Only then can we make more accurate prediction about what it will take to complete your recovery and what will be needed to help you stay well.
A Brief Reexamination
We’ll conduct several of the tests we performed on your first visit. This will give us a way to compare where you are, in relation to where you were. Obviously, this is essential for plotting a more accurate plan for future care.
Changing Recommendations
Hopefully, if your progress is verified by objective examination protocols, we usually modify your visit schedule. With the momentum established from the intensive schedule during the early part of your care, we can often reduce your visit frequency without sacrificing continued progress.
The Danger
About this time, many patients are feeling significantly better. They’re often tempted to discontinue their care. And of course, how long you benefit from chiropractic is always up to you. Please note that you are predisposed to a relapse if you discontinue care before supporting muscles and ligaments are fully healed. That’s something that happens after symptoms disappear. So the choice is yours: Do you choose symptomatic relief or correction? Just let us know so we can support your decision.
