By this we mean that your pain has been resolved, that the reason for your type of pain has been corrected, and now we want to keep those changes. We are now focusing on correcting posture, improving alignment and increasing strength to prevent the problem from recurring. If you are a person who follows a healthy diet, does the right amount of exercise and lives a relatively stress-free life, some chiropractors suggest visiting once a month or biannually. This will allow your chiropractor to treat any emerging subluxations and eliminate them before they are become a problem.
If you wait until you feel pain, it's likely that more chiropractic adjustments will be needed to cure the problem than if you had undergone a periodic adjustment.
