Most of us think that chiropractic is only for people with severe back problems, but chiropractic is so much more than that! Just as important as it is to get your teeth cleaned and examined every six months, it is just as important to get regularly adjusted.
We regularly get check-ups for various parts of our body such as our teeth, heart, eyes, and other parts of the body, but we hardly think of our spine! Our spine is the foundation of our health and part of the control centre of our body. Bear in mind that there’s no such thing as a spine transplant. Hence, we need to provide our spine with the utmost care. Chiropractic care is always the best way to do that.
How often should I go to the chiropractor and/or physiotherapy treatment?
This depend on the severity of your condition. Some people find relief of the condition after a few sessions but some may need longer than that of the treatment duration. How often you need to go depends on the assessment and examination results. The consistency of the treatment may affect the efficiency of the treatment.
Can I do physiotherapy and chiropractic at the same time?
We have mentioned in earlier blog post under ‘Why you need both chiropractic care & physiotherapy care’. The answer is definitely YES! The assessment and treatment offer by chiropractor and physiotherapy are somewhat different. We often work together to help you get relief and recover from injuries much faster. Chiropractor will recommend you for physiotherapy treatment to complement chiropractic adjustment and supplemental care.
Do I still need to come for chiropractic adjustment once my pain relieved?
Once we have completed relief and corrective phase of care for patients, we advise to proceed with maintenance care. A maintenance care of chiropractic adjustment is a phase of treatment that a patient follows to maintain optimal body function. Normally after our practice members get better from their conditions, we recommend a regular chiropractic adjustment schedule of once or twice every 3-6 month, regardless of whether you are free of symptoms. By having regular adjustment, it provides such benefits as below :
• Preventative
Stay proactive on your health by taking preventative measures instead of being reactive when you start feeling pain. We want to ensure proper alignment and spine health for you. Your misalignments can be detected early before symptoms start arising.
• Chiropractic Enhances Your Overall Health
Regular adjustments can ensure that your body stays aligned and helps your entire body function at a high level. Prolonged bad posture, bad sports practice, or trauma is what leads to a variety of spinal condition. By having regular adjustment will ensure our spinal joint is well aligned before it gets misplaced and lead to back pain or neck pain.
Feel free to give us a call to clear your doubts! We will get your complaints consulted professionally. Our practitioner (either Chiropractor or Physiotherapist) will advise which treatment approach is best for your condition.
