The reasons people seek chiropractic treatment are many.
Some use a chiropractor’s skills for back adjustments, or aligning vertebrae for preventive care. Others want help managing serious pain conditions, such as scoliosis or whiplash.
Different chiropractors have different philosophies concerning adjustments. The goal of some chiropractors is to help you return to your prior state of health, and then they don’t necessarily expect to see you again, unless you have further problems.
Other chiropractors believe in a regular preventive maintenance program that might range from a visit each week — with an adjustment done only if you need it — to a visit once every couple of months. Some chiropractors say to visit only when you feel you need an adjustment.
