Pain is not the real problem, but rather a warning sign that there is something wrong that needs to be addressed. People are used to popping a pill for this or that ache as they seek quick relief. If the pain keeps returning, however, it should become obvious that those pills are not the answer. That is where chiropractic can help.

As you ask yourself why does a chiropractor recommend multiple visits, consider how many total pills did you take (and for how long) before you decided to try an alternative health treatment? You can pretty well rest assured that the number of chiropractic visits, and the duration of care, needed to correct your problem will be far less when all is said and done.

Additionally, I often recommend that patients come in from time to time for checkups, the goal being to detect and treat developing problems before they become painful again. Well, folks have been going regularly to dentists all their lives, thinking it quite normal and responsible. The chiropractor is just wanting their patients to give their spines, which can’t be replaced, as much attention and care as they give their teeth, which can be.
