The reasons people seek chiropractic treatment are many: some use chiropractic treatment for back adjustments, or aligning vertebrae for preventative care. Others need help managing serious and chronic pain conditions such as scoliosis or whiplash.
Our goal is to help you improve your health and keep it that way. To achieve this we believe in regular preventative maintenance program that might range from 3 visits a week, to one visit a week, or once every couple of months.
At MTPHC we often treat common back and neck pain in a few sessions, sometimes with once-a-week visits. We also treat people who have been seriously injured in car accidents or slip-and-fall type of accidents. These types of injuries may require a longer treatment path.
It is important to remember that Chiropractic is not like a magic pain pill that will mask the pain. We treat the problem that causes the pain to correct it and help bring it back to normal. And the same way it probably took days or months and even years for this problem to build up, it will also take time to correct it.
The doctor will help put you on an on-going plan that is right for you.
The treatment you may need depends on your individual condition, underlying factors that are stressing your body and length of symptoms. Your previous injuries may also affect treatment time, along with any proper care you received and rehabilitation for those injuries when they occurred.
With hours at a computer and frequently too little exercise, modern life often contributes to common back and neck pain, and you may find that a regular adjustment every two to four weeks can prevent problems.
