Have you ever wondered how often to see a chiropractor? Everyone seems to have an opinion on this, but what do the experts say? In this article, we’ll talk about what a chiropractic adjustment is, how it works and why you can benefits from regular adjustments with In Home Mobile Chiropractic or our expanded services partner, Mobile Wellness Care.
First Things First: What is a Chiropractic Adjustment?
A chiropractic adjustment is a therapeutic treatment delivered to you by a licensed chiropractor. Your mobile chiropractor will use pressure to manipulate joints in your body to realign your spine and reduce pain and discomfort. Mobile chiropractic adjustments complement traditional medical care you receive.
Mobile chiropractic adjustments will vary from person to person.
How Many Mobile Chiropractic Sessions Are Needed?
When doing sessions to treat acute pain and injury, it can take between 3-12 sessions to recover fully. Correcting long-standing problems that have developed from things like poor posture or old injuries can require weekly or bi-weekly treatments for 2-3 months. Whatever the circumstance is, after getting the underlying problem corrected, ongoing maintenance sessions are conducted to prevent the pain from coming back, along with preventing new injuries from forming. Most sessions only take 10-30 minutes, with some maintenance sessions taking as little as 5 minutes! Our expert mobile chiropractors can even recommend stretches or exercises specific to your situation.
Do Mobile Chiropractic Adjustments Hurt?
Worried mobile chiropractic adjustments are going to hurt? Don’t be!! While there may be some discomfort having areas adjusted that are already inflamed and painful, patients generally get substantial relief immediately following the adjustment. It is also important to know that there may be some muscle and joint soreness following an adjustment. It is completely normal, much like the soreness one can expect after a good workout, and generally the discomfort is considered mild.
How Mobile Chiropractic Adjustments Help
How often you need to see a mobile chiropractor will depend on your ultimate goal and how severe your condition is. Our mobile chiropractor can assess this by taking your histroy and examining the misaligned areas of your body. They will then discuss the recommended options that will work best for your unique situation.
Symptom Care and Relief With a Mobile Chiropractic Adjustment
Some patients only see a mobile chiropractor when they are in pain. For example, they strain their back lifing something, call for a mobile chiropractor to come to the location of their choice for an adjustment to relieve the pain and don’t schedule another appointment until they are hurting again. Cases where there is severe pain and muscle spasms can require more attention. When that is the case, the body can be difficult to adjust and relief may initially be minimal and short-lived, requiring more visits before the symptoms resolve.
Corrective Wellness Care With Mobile Chiropractic
Other patients not only want their pain gone, they want to fix the underlying problem so they can function and feel their best every day. They understand that it is easier to stay healthy than to get healthy, so they take a proactive approach to keeping their spine and nervous system functioning optimally. For most, this requires mobile chiropractic visits between 1-2 times per week for 1-3 months to correct the spine and then routine visits on at least a monthly basis to maintain their health and progress. Some therapies are best when combined with other modalities. Our expanded services partner, Mobile Wellness Care, offers massage therapy and acupuncture treatment options which may enhance your overall corrective wellness care!
Whenever possible, have your mobile chiropractor visit you before you feel any pain. That way you not only feel temporary pain relief, you also feel the physical and health benefits that reduce stress and risk for pain or injuries.
In summary, monthly visits (at minimum) are more advantageous for those who have demanding jobs or lifestyles that place a lot of stress on their bodies. If your lifestyle involves lower stress levels, less than once a month may be adequate. We recommend talking with In Home Mobile Chiropractic about your individual needs for a more accurate answer.
