Forward Progress - When the pain is gone, healing still continues. Research has proven that soft tissue structures, such as ligaments and muscles, continue to heal after the pain is gone. It is important to continue maintenance care after the pain subsides in order to allow for more complete healing.
Prevent a Reoccurrence-Ending care too soon increases the probability of another injury because the spine has not fully healed. Following the doctor’s treatment plan prevents a reoccurrence, allowing you to continue your active lifestyle and enjoy life to the fullest. Studies show that re-injury the second and third time often leads to an increase in the severity of the problem, leading to lost time from work and increasing disability.
Save Money-Many people think nothing of going to the dentist two times per year for preventative dental check-ups. Why? Everyone realizes that obtaining regular dental check-ups prevents the financial burden of paying for expensive dental procedures, such as braces and root canals, down the road. Chiropractic preventative care works the same way. Also, people can wear dentures when their teeth wear out, but presently, there is no technology for building a new spine when the present one wears out.
Feel Healthier-Patients who receive regular maintenance care are able to enjoy life to the fullest because they feel better. Your chiropractor will tailor a maintenance program specifically designed to suit your lifestyle.
Become Educated-Ask questions about your health. We encourage you to capitalize on your office visits by becoming a proactive patient. Understanding how your body functions, especially your spine and nervous system, allows for patients to better understand how to prevent future injuries.
