When I go to a chiropractor, do I have to keep going back?
Is it true that once you start going to a chiropractor, you have to keep going back? This is a question that we often answer for new and prospective patients. The short answer is that you only need to continue going to a chiropractor if you want to maintain the effects of your adjustment. This is a choice that is 100% up to you! Here's a few things to keep in mind:
You are always in the driver's seat!
Here at Agape Family Chiropractic, we participate in a shared decision making between the doctor and patient. This means that the doctor makes recommendations for your care, explaining pros and cons of different options, and the patient uses that information to decide how they would like to move forward. You are always in the driver's seat of your health and healthcare!
Everyone's recommended chiropractic care is different
There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to chiropractic care! At every new patient visit, we do a thorough exam to uncover the root cause of what is going on in the body. Our exam findings give us important information that factors into your individual recommendations for care.
We focus on functionality
Our care plans are designed with your functionality in mind. What exactly does this mean? We recommend care based on how your body is functioning, as opposed to basing your care on symptoms. When we focus on how the body is functioning, we are focusing on the source of your health! Misalignments in the spine can interfere with the nervous system for quite some time before symptoms build up in downstream organs. We want to get those misalignments corrected before symptoms have a chance to show up. Our care plans are designed to help patients both get healthy and stay healthy!
