If I get adjusted once, will I need to get adjusted the rest of my life?

This is a common question people who’ve never been to a chiropractor have, and this is the answer I always give.

Not only is the answer yes, but you will want to!

Think about it. If you want to learn how to play the piano, you don’t practice one time and play elaborate concertos the next day. Even concert pianists practice hours daily. If you want to get stronger in the gym, you don’t lift weights one time and deadlift 400 lbs the next day. Olympic weightlifters and competitive powerlifters have spent many, many years developing their strength. And no one tries out a trial class at their nearest jiu jitsu academy and suddenly has the knowledge, skills, and abilities of someone who’s trained for years and has a black belt.

Once your pain and symptoms have been reduced or alleviated, the focus of chiropractic will shift to preventing the longterm devastating misalignments originally found in your spine. In chiropractic, we refer to this as maintenance care.

With more stressors in our environment than ever before in the history of mankind (toxic food, toxic air, toxic water, toxic social media, toxic politics, etc.), it’s impossible for your spine to hold one adjustment for the rest of your life. Just like the concert pianist wants to maintain an elite level of talent, you will want to maintain your improved health and vitality.

We’ve all heard the mantra “consistency is key,” and nowhere will you notice the most than with your own health. If something keeps you healthy and feeling great, why would you not do it consistently?

It just makes sense to get your spine periodic checkups the way you get regular checkups for your teeth with the dentist!
