No! In our Clinic, we have three types of care: pain relief care, corrective care and maintenance care. The pain usually subsides relatively fast. However, correcting the cause of a problem takes longer. You have the option of continuing your care when the pain subsides in order to get help relaxing the tight muscles and moving the stiff joints that often build up from poor posture and stress. Just as you go to the dentist for regular check-ups, having your spine checked by the chiropractor regularly is equally important.
