Chiropractic is...
about GETTING CHECKED
Chiropractic is about getting checked. While most people associate a trip to the chiropractor with getting adjusted, the most important aspect is having your spine checked for the presence or absence of vertebral subluxation.
It takes years of studying, training, and refining one's skills to be proficient in detecting the presence of subluxation.
Regularly scheduled visits and re-exams ensure that you and your doctor have accurate and objective data to determine your progress and future frequency of care.
What You Need to Know...
Anyone can push on a spine and make it “pop,” but only your chiropractor can know if, when and where you need to be adjusted.
Remember, you go to the chiropractor to get checked. If subluxation is found, you will be adjusted as required. If subluxation is not present, that is great news and means your pattern is improving.
Your individual pattern depends on many factors and will change as care progresses. Regularly scheduled re-exams will give you and your doctor more information to determine the best care interval for you.
