Is Your Recovery Taking Off?
"From time to time, I’m asked how we create a care plan; how many visits and how frequent should they be. This is where experience and the ‘art’ of chiropractic come into play.
"During the examination, I’m recording what I find and comparing it with similar cases we’ve helped. I’m evaluating your condition, its severity, your age, lifestyle, attitude and dozens of other factors. Each plays a role in the recommendations I eventually make for the first phase of your care.
"If the visits are too far apart, we never create enough of a momentum to reverse the downward trend that prompts people to seek care in our office. Just like an airplane has to develop enough speed to produce the lift to take off, so too with our initial care recommendations. If the visits are too frequent, the body doesn’t have enough time to put the adjustments to use, and in a sense, the energy is “wasted.” There’s a real skill in picking the right balance between too frequent and not frequent enough.
"Sometimes I misjudge. But most of the time there are other factors. In fact, we’ve identified almost a dozen issues that can be involved. So, if you’re not progressing as quickly as you’d hoped, click here and see what else might be going on."
