It depends on the individual. We recommend continued check-ups even after the pain for which you may have sought treatment has seemingly disappeared. Just as you would continue to take your car in to have the oil changed and the brakes, steering, suspension, etc., checked, we believe that it is important to keep your body healthy in the same way. Part of staying healthy is regular exercise, proper rest & nutrition, and making sure your body's systems are functioning without impediment.

Most patients find that periodic check-ups help keep them in optimum shape. Especially those who are active, have stressful jobs, or who simply want to be at their best. Others will only visit a Chiropractor when their pain becomes unmanageable. This style of crisis management generally is more costly and time consuming, as a more comprehensive series of treatments is necessary to get them back on their feet.

In the end, it is a matter of personal choice, whether you wish Chiropractic care to be a short-term "I need relief now'' method of treatment, or a long-term "I want to always feel better" maintenance of good health.
