Chiropractic care is often thought to be a lifetime commitment, but this is not true. While some people believe that stopping chiropractic adjustments will cause their spine to revert to a state of disrepair and discomfort, this is a myth.

Chiropractic care is aimed at restoring spinal alignment and developing good habits for maintaining long-lasting pain relief, not creating dependence on chiropractic care.

For instance, our London Chiropractor, Dr. Anika, offer three stages of care: pain relief, stabilization, and maintenance or preventative care.

Relief care

Relief care is intensive and aims to quickly relieve symptoms.

Stabilization care strengthens and stabilizes the spine to prevent pain from returning.

Maintenance care helps maintain the corrections made during relief and stabilization care to prevent future problems from occurring.

The frequency of maintenance care varies on the person, but it typically involves a monthly check-up and adjustment. It is important to note that the speed of progress through the different stages of care varies from person to person, and patients should work closely with their chiropractor to monitor their progress and discuss results.

In conclusion, chiropractic care is not a lifetime commitment, you have the choice to stop after your pain has been relieved or reduced. However, many patients choose to continue with maintenance care to maintain a healthy spine and prevent future problems.
