If you started seeing a chiropractor for back pain, shoulder pain, headaches, or something else, you probably hope that one or two visits will make a real difference in your situation. While you may notice results after your initial appointment, lasting change takes time, and this applies to chiropractic care in many ways.
One of the main reasons why a single visit to our office may not make a long-term difference is because it generally takes years for a problem to develop. For this reason, it can take several visits to the chiropractor to start to correct the issue. Depending on the issue you are experiencing, there will likely be changes in the way the supporting muscles in your spine work that build up over time, resulting in symptoms that could be painful or uncomfortable.
Seeing the chiropractor is a little bit like going to the gym — to see results, it takes time, frequency, and regular follow-ups. When you come to our office regularly, you allow your brain and the muscles in your spine to start communicating with each other again, allowing you to regain the stability to function properly and resolve your chronic pain.
How often you need to see a chiropractor is variable because every person is different. However, we can give you a good idea of how often you should visit our office to start seeing results. Contact us at Advanced Chiropractic Center to learn more or to set up your initial appointment.
