"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" ~Benjamin Franklin
Chiropractic maintenance care is not only designed to maintain the current health of your spine and body, but prevent future aches and pains from creeping up on you. In our office we recommend monthly maintenance care as a bare minimum. Some people need more frequent adjustments, and some people get away with a little longer time in between. With this type of care, many of our patients report no pain every time we see them. "No, pain? Then why are they coming in". PREVENTION [of pain].
All too many times, patients come in after several months (or sometimes even years), and I hear the same story: "I was feeling really good until just the last few days/weeks/months". Well, guess what was happening all the days/weeks/months since your last visit? LIFE. Life adds up, it's all the little things we do that can cause the spine to move out of alignment and lead to pain. Here are a few things that really add up and take their toll on the body:
Sitting at a computer all day
Sleeping on your sides or stomach
Exercising
Wearing High Heels
Riding on an airplane
Taking a long road trip
Camping
Sleeping in a different bed
Cleaning the house
Holding/lifting a baby 50 times a day
and the list goes on......
At Crossroads Chiropractic, we believe it is your prerogative if you want to dictate how frequent your adjustments are. BUT, keep in mind that if you come in every few months and need a handful of visits to get rid of the pain, you'd probably be much better off coming in on a regular basis. This can not only save the hassle and discomfort of being in pain, but can save time and money because you likely will need less care.
That all being said, we're always happy to see your face whenever you choose to see us, and are honored you've chosen Crossroads Chiropractic & Wellness Center to help you on your health journey.
