Wellness Chiropractic in Shrewsbury
If you’re like many people, you likely get your vehicle serviced at recommended intervals to keep it driving smoothly. Or you visit the dentist to get a checkup every six months. But do you likewise prioritize your spinal health by getting regular chiropractic care? Cars can be replaced (and teeth, too), but spines can’t, which is why we encourage patients to come up for maintenance or wellness care.
So, what exactly is that?
Personalized Maintenance Plans
So how often should you get chiropractic care? It depends on your lifestyle and occupation. For those with physically demanding jobs, visits every two weeks might be beneficial. Retirees or those with less strenuous activities might only need to come in every eight weeks. On average, patients visit once a month, but there’s no set schedule. The goal is to determine what works best for you individually.
Initially, treatment focuses on alleviating pain and restoring normal function, flexibility, mobility, and strength. Once these goals are achieved, maintenance care ensures that you don’t revert to your previous state, maintaining your progress.
The Importance of Regular Adjustments
You may think that you need to be in pain to benefit from chiropractic care. The reality is that most adjustments are preventative. Regular adjustments stimulate the nervous system, keeping reflexes sharp to keep your balance sharp, especially as you age. This proactive approach helps prevent small issues from turning into significant problems.
According to some research, pain patterns are learned by the brain and nervous system, but with regular care, these patterns can be reprogrammed so you can feel good again.
Lifetime chiropractic adjustments keep your nervous system really sharp, keep everything firing the way it’s supposed to. Once you figure that out, it’s a slam dunk. It’s a no-brainer. Just gotta maintain it. It’s not rocket science
