A glass of water can put out a small fire, but it won't put out a forest fire. It's about having the right tools, but also the right quantity to get the job done. The same can be said for the amount of Chiropractic treatments you may need for your condition.
Chiropractors treat many different musculoskeletal conditions and use a variety of different tools. The goal of chiropractic care is to remove the things that are interfering with our bodies natural ability to heal. The purpose of more frequent adjustments is to keep your body corrected long enough so it can develop into a new, healthier state. For many people with chronic health issues, that means that you may require more treatment sessions in the beginning to help your body overcome the "fire" going to inside you. Adjustments don't do the healing alone. The treatment plan for care will consist of both active and passive care. Active care is essential in the beginning during the acute phase and takes the form of adjustments, ultrasound stimulation, and stretching. Passive care is necessary during the recovery and wellness phase when the patient is seeing the chiropractor less frequently and doing the stretching and maintenance therapy at home between visits.
One day at the gym does not turn you into a professional body builder and a single, low carb meal won't make you slimmer. Exercise and proper nutrition can get you healthy, but they need to be repeated regularly to see real change. Likewise, desired Chiropractic results come from time, repetition and home care.
