Why Should I See a Chiropractor? Chiropractic care continues to grow because it is effective, safe, gentle and because it respects the body’s natural healing and recuperative powers. It is the most popular drug-free, surgery free healthcare system in the world. What Are Symptoms That Show I Need a Chiropractor? Symptoms include inability to take a satisfying deep breath, the need to ‘crack’ your neck or joints often, poor posture, inability to twist or turn your head or hips easily, low resistance to disease, headaches, backaches, low energy or poor sleep, foot flaring out when you walk, your heals wearing unevenly, or just a 'not feeling right' sensation. Should I See a Chiropractor or Massage Therapist? Chiropractors and Massage Therapists work best synergistically. While massage therapists focus on correction of muscle problems, chiropractors focus on correction of joint and bone issues. If you are treating one and not the other, you may just be temporarily treating the symptoms, not correcting and removing the cause. How Many Sessions Do I Need? Each person’s individualized treatment plan is different. Generally, you can expect to have more sessions required in the beginning, then after 12 weeks have your appointments changed to a more maintenance schedule. Sessions take 10-15 minutes. Should I See a Chiropractor after the Pain is Gone? Some people think pain is the only reason to visit a chiropractor. However, often problems are often painless and the cause of the pain may remain within you, interfering with your life or health for months or years. Pain is often the last sign of the problem.
