Chiropractic Center: Should I Return If I’m Feeling Fine?

Information may not be reliable

Patients are often asked to return periodically for spinal checkups even if the problem that brought them to the chiropractic center has seemingly cleared up. Why? Your doctor of chiropractor has good reasons for requesting you to return even if you "feel fine." In many cases, one or a few spinal adjustments may make you pain-free, but that may merely mean that your spinal damage is less severe than it was when you first entered the chiropractic center. It doesn't mean that you have healed completely.

Since vertebral subluxations are often painless, your body may have been fighting them for a long time before they are discovered. Your level of pain may have been building up slowly, hardly noticeable until you make one wrong move. These subluxations will cause weakened, unbalanced, and unevenly worn joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons and discs, plus fibrosis or scar tissue. This damage needs to be repaired for your spine to heal properly.

Fibrosis especially causes a particular problem as it builds up within just a few days of the occurrence of subluxations. Further, the muscles begin to "learn" abnormal holding patterns that must be "unlearned" before your body will hold spinal adjustments. Can you imagine what your joints would look like after a few years? Since muscle tissue is involved in holding the vertebrae in proper alignment, scar tissue must dissolve if your spine is to heal properly.

Don't be lulled into a false sense of security by thinking, "I'm no longer in pain, so I'm free of subluxations." Until scar tissue dissolves and the tissues rebuild, your body will not "hold" its adjustments well and regular spinal corrections or adjustments are needed.
