Once you go to a Chiropractor, do you always have to go?

by David Reed December 4, 2011
written by David Reed December 4, 2011

reed chiropracticAs a chiropractor, one of the most common statements I hear is, “Once you go to a chiropractor, you always have to go.”

I am sure you have all heard someone say, “Once you go, they have you come back all the time, and you have to go for life.” This statement is, quite honestly, false. With any form of health care, you have choices. You are the boss. Remember, you pay for our services. So, that makes you the boss.

Many times, when someone hears or knows another person who has received chiropractic care for years, they jump to these conclusions. They think they must have to go, or that chiropractic care does not work. Different people have different health goals. Some people go just to get out of pain, and others want to achieve optimal health and wellness.

It is my job, as a chiropractor, to give people options, and let them choose. Many people will start chiropractic care to help with their headaches, neck pain and back pain, but they experience other quality of life improvements. They may start to sleep better, have more energy, have less anxiety and notice a stronger immune system. It is then that they make the choice to continue chiropractic care for life, not because they have to, but because they understand the role of their nervous system and how important it is on their overall health and wellness.

It is similar to exercising. You start exercising regularly. After three months you feel great. You lose some weight and sleep better. You have more energy at the end of the day. After that, you stop exercising. Have you benefited from the exercise? Of course you have. Would you benefit more if you continued? Of course you would.

Eating healthy is another example. One healthy meal is good for you. Eating healthy as a long-term, lifestyle habit is obviously better. People understand this with regard to the dental profession. Everyone understands they should brush their teeth every day in order to prevent cavities. This just makes sense. It is always easier and cheaper to stay well than to get well. Just remember, you can always buy new teeth if you have enough money, but neglect your spine and your health will suffer. No amount of money or medical procedures will reverse spinal decay.

So, once you go to a chiropractor, do you always have to go? No. Any number of adjustments will be beneficial to you, but a long-term, regular chiropractic care habit obviously is better. Whether you start chiropractic care to get rid of pain (usually six to eight visits), or maintain your spine through lifetime wellness care, at Reed Chiropractic, we have a plan right for you.
