The Art of Chiropractic

I'm often 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 exam, your condition, your age, lifestyle, attitude and dozens of other factors are evaluated, recorded and compared with similar cases. Each plays a role in the recommendations I make for the first phase of your care.

A plane needs enough speed to take off. So too with our initial recommendations: If the visits are too far apart, we won't create enough momentum to reverse the downward trend. If the visits are too frequent, the body doesn't have enough time to put the adjustments to use. 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 - we've identified up to a dozen issues that can be involved. If you're not progressing as quickly as you'd hoped, talk to me.
