Q: Why do I need to return for more adjustments?
A: Usually the first visit by a patient is after enduring the pain or injury for quite some time. When that happens, fibrosis (scar tissue) becomes built up in the joints, discs or nerves. Chiropractic refers to this mal-alignment as subluxations.
Long-term degenerated nerves and joints need periodic care as the spine and other joints are weak. These areas need time to build strength to sustain and heal. These subluxations usually return when a patient goes through a stressful time or has a simply physical mishap (like twisting your knee or watching t.v. in bed for too long).
