The Importance of Consistent Chiropractic Maintenance for Optimal Health

The Importance of Consistent Chiropractic Maintenance for Optimal Health

How long should you go to the chiropractor for? It's probably a top 3 question I get asked in my clinic

Why you should maintain your chiropractic care

Research looked into how effective chiropractic is for the treatment of low back pain that is chronic, so more than 12 weeks of duration

They wanted to know if low back pain would come back if the person stopped care or would the pain come back even if the person still received chiropractic care long-term

All participants received 12 visits over a 1 month period

Then after the 1 month period, one group got a maintenance spinal adjustment every 2 weeks for 9 months and the other group received no care

ONLY the group that had maintenance care showed improvement in pain and disability scores after a 10 month follow-up, the other group had the same pain and disability score from before they started their initial 12-visit treatment plan

I hope this gets you MOTIVATED to keep up with your health goals, get adjusted, get moving, and get those lifestyle habits changed!
